VOX ToneLab LE demo video

[@VoxAmpsVideos]

I was in the studio when this was filmed. It was all recorded in one take... the backing track was played into one channel while David played along to it. It all went down live and we just took a direct line out of the TonelabLE. Amazing.

[@SlyBuffalo]

one of the few demo videos i've watched where i actually enjoyed the guitar work.. this guy is a pretty good player

[@VoxAmpsVideos]

Hello! One of the cool new features of the TonelabLE is expanded amp/line out features. Of note, it has three different amp out modes voiced for use with VOX, "Black 2x12" type combos, and "UK Stack" amps. You can either use one of those modes to match the TonelabLE to an amp from those three major brands OR you can bypass the TonelabLE's amp modeling all together if you'd just like to use all its effects with your favorite amp of choice.

[@carolinawestern3875]

Just got my tonelab l.e. last week and its great! Gonna pair it up w/my Vox VT120+, Keeley Memphis Sun, and Mesa Boogie V2 and do some trials. See what i come up with.

[@VoxAmpsVideos]

Hey guys, Just wanted to respond to the debte over whether the SE or LE sounds better, here are a couple things to consider. The LE is 24 bit...the SE is 20 bit. Also, the SE is now discontinued in the US. So, if you love that unit, get one while you can. Other than that, the LE is really no different in terms of sound engine (and quality) compared to the SE...in fact, the expanded line out features make it more customizable when interfacing with amps or live PA's.

[@waggamc]

i bought it this week, and it sounds awesome. great.

[@xNodhead62x]

man at 1:55 that sounds pretty awesome. With all the knobs on this beast it looks like there is endless tones to this. Great demo too!

[@DJGroff]

nice.. thanks for the input.. im trying to get a warmer sound and it doesnt quite cut it through the effects loop of my solid state amp

[@solvdjaevil]

Wow, Very Cool! I want one! Awesome playing and tone as always David!

[@NuMetalBeDamned]

yup. it has trebble bite resembling the dimebag style, a heavy metal pre-set, and some overdrive.

[@VoxAmpsVideos]

Keep in mind this is recorded direct into a mini-mixer and then into a video camera, then compressed on KZbin. There's a modeled live console EQ you can access to fatten the unit up as much as you care to. It's a big plus that the previous Tonelabs didn't have.

[@djgianni82]

Other possibles pedalboards are: - Zoom g9.2tt (great distorsion... a bit plastic sound on my opinion...) - Pod x3 live (ok great sound for guitar effect. nothing to mention. but there are a lot of functions that i will never use (like bass & voice effects... amp & cab simultors and much more... maybe is to expansive for my way of using it). - GT-10 i try it... dist sounds are to noisy! like a bee... zzz but great ambient effects. Thanks for any opinion. Giovanni

[@ericbgordon1575]

It definitely seems decent, but did Vox (and Marshall) only try participating in the modeling vogue from 15-20 years ago because Fender began participating first?

[@Soh2k8]

Beautiful tones!

[@SkinnKilla]

@CommBreakDown Surely do. Anything with an output socket can have headphones connected to it, with the proper adaptor of course.

[@Resurrection4groove]

You win the DONKEY of the year award.....This demo actually changed my mind about purchasing this unit!.....YUK

[@georgelrg]

This is the coolest unit out there, cant wait for one (im buying this next month!)

[@LanceMillerSeattle]

First, great sounding gear Vox. ...and...I hope that guitarist has more gigs and work offered than he can ever do. He is just freaking amazing. He just does Eric Johnson and EVH at will. This video made me happy.

[@groove420]

Clicked to hear a pedalboard review and Bam! This guy is channeling Steve Howe... Very refreshing to hear.

[@house1918tyler]

@CommBreakDown yep theres an 1/8 inch out or use the L/R stereo or mono out for 1/4 inch headphones

[@rickyraveon]

I went ahead & got one. I played it live twice already using the factory presets (after only 2 practices). I can't wait to start tweaking, & I'm going into a tweed blues Jr. Love it so far!!

[@petercallaway3420]

The ComChorus patch sounds amazing even by 2019 standards!

[@VsevolodChapiuk]

@deadringer13 i tested it in the music shop, just pluged in the headphones and the sound was perfect. preamp does it's work perfectly. you don't need a head. headphones or speakers.

[@joe44850]

@gummyform Pretty close, you do plug your guitar chord from you guitar to the unit, but after that you need speakers of some sort. The best thing to use, i have found, is a keyboard amp with the treble and bass set evenly - that way, you are only getting the sound of the effect unit. You can, however, plug a pair of headphones if you just want to practice.

[@metebelis]

Not mentioned on this video is the free software that connects to the LE. This allows you to tweak everything so much more easily than on the unit itself. Also forget the presets - you can get so much better sounds out of the LE yourself.

[@thanosbikos]

A realy flexible unit, sounds great! I got it on January and I'm very satisfied with its sound and functionality :-)

[@AphoticAgony]

@lXJoseOleXl yes. It's labeled at Hold Delay. It's a looper

[@cardude6987]

Depends on what you want. If you want more gain then the pedal make the amp a little bit dirty. If not keep the amp clean.

[@tiffanysmith3950]

Thank you for your video. Totally convinced me to get the Vox. pedal.

[@alexschnellmanguitar]

This is the superior multi effects pedal IMO.

[@AuntAlnico4]

Superior !? Not today but 15 years ago it was for sure. Today we have Headrush pedal board, line ⁶ helix, Neural and Kemper just to name a few of the big dogs ! I had the Vox biggest pedal board and or was great but today the only thing that sounded good to me was the greatest Headrush pedal board and I got it way cheap before the COVID Nwo price hike.

[@alexschnellmanguitar]

@@AuntAlnico4 Nah, this thing still provides some of the crispiest tones without sounding extremely digital. I've had some people be shocked at how good mine sounds.

[@PrettyLittleDitty2089]

I strongly agree. I'm still using this up to this day. Sounds so amazing.

[@Lossaavedra]

I wonder what kind of pickups he is using! that Fender sounds great

[@Pax3897]

had one for about 15 years, overall I like it, they could do a better job on the push buttons. I'm always taking it apart to fix them but other than that it's a great little preamp.

[@davidspann22]

@MrJackanthony Thanks for asking, if you change from a program with the same delay type...say "stereo delay" to another program with "stereo delay" the effect spills over to next program. Changing between programs with same ambient FX, no cut-off. More details in manual.

[@MicDollaBIll]

I DO think that there's a wider variety effects on the GT-10. Typo. My bad. If you gig with a band or have a proper loop pedal, I'd say that the higher sound quality on the ToneLab LE gives it the edge. If you're into goofing off in your bedroom more, like me, the looper and wider selection of effects is pretty important. I like that you can assign most of the effects to the expression pedal on the ToneLab. The best is when you are fingerpicking an arpeggio and suddenly reverb swells in.

[@jakebland1990]

i have one, i love it. the worst thing about it is that you cant use the clyde mccoy wah at the same time as using any of the other pedal models, i think this was a big mistake on vox's behalf. the wah should be a seperate part. but unfortunately its not.

[@giantessmaria]

Great player! thanks good demo..

[@awesomejohnnet]

Texas turns out such wonderful players, Great going David!

[@n2112b]

I'm looking at all those haha i have the same question, i mean this one is the cheapest in price but i like the digitech because it a loop station which i guess this also does so maybe get the vox

[@SeattleLA]

What an excellent guitar player. And amps, that are the best, for tubes.

[@swampgfox]

i saw david spann at my local music store he gave a demo of all the marshall amps

[@Gregorypeckory]

I take it you mean the SE as opposed to the update; the LE. They're both Tonelab. I agree it sounds amazing; I love mine, but I'm still curious about the LE. It has some new features; the dropped a few and added a few. Best to have them both, if money isn't a problem!

[@mody_m]

I've had it for 2 years and I love it. But i have one problem. How to switch on Noise Reduction?.

[@joe44850]

@Hertsman50 I agree. Having used a variety of amps and processed amp boards, i'm more inclined to go with a very simple Fender Twin, a few pedals, and that's about it. I did, however, get this to sound decently by going into a keyboard amp and turning the VR down to about 2 - 3.5 on most of the saved settings. But yeah, an actual tube amp is the way to go, in my opinion.

[@DrCyb]

Yes... that's true for Wah... it stil has great tone from there. but i still wish they separated the compressor from OD/Dist.

[@bohs1984]

I tried one of these out. Just couldnt get it to sound "real". Pretty good though for getting "most" of the sound your looking for.

[@SnappyJCM800]

At 0:45 his riff sounds like a sped up version of John Petrucci - Glasgow Kiss

[@Gregorypeckory]

I agree; Ihave the SE, and it actually has quite a few killer sounds, so I'm a happy camper. Now if I could just find a reliable amp...

[@altpath]

Solo usa un power amp de valvulas para eso. Marshall hace uno, y Carvin tambien. Solo conectalo a un gabinete, y ya esta. He visto el POD XT conectado asi y suena bien.

[@TheRamExponention]

Great Player Demo Man !!! Cool David !!!

[@batbag12]

I have played one of these. It really is a great product, but I struggled to get a BM tone I could stand. If you want BM tone I would go with a tube amp, and a Treble boost over anything modeling. I was more satisfied with a Epiphone Valve Junior and a Treble boost than anything I found on this. The good thing about this is ALL (and I mean ALL) the other great tones you can get out of it.

[@JimiJaamz]

Super Tastey intro David! Guess Vox is lucky they have you as one of their Rep's !

[@Hue_Nery]

@jooman77 As has been pointed out in a previous post David has toured world wide and has opened for Stevie Ray Vaughn, Al DiMeola, Robin Trower, Yngwie Malmsteen, Johnny Winter, Pat Travers, BB King, Los Lonely Boys, Jon Schofield, Roy Buchanan. Eric Johnson seems to think that Mr. Spann is "alright". Where do you stand against him. You've got a handy cam, you can post a vid.

[@jaggermedinaOficial]

Cual tiene mas calidad de sonido, esta Tonelab LE o la Tonelab EX?

[@vladradoi]

Can the tap tempo function be controled by an external midi footswitch ? Or can the vox tonelab change the pressets of a tc electronic nova drive ?

[@kapelatos]

I was wondering .... i have an Ibanez Jem, and i am loking forward to buy a multieffects proccesor.. and i stepped by this tonelab, will it give me a good metal sound with reverb and delay?? Can i bring out Vai's sound from this??? or Would i be able to have a blues sound??? Please answer me as soon as possible....

[@TheGrooveyard1]

Can someone give me the tones settings for the opening riffs he played

[@rick_hotbox]

its sounds great ... remain me to Eric Johnson ... nice stuff ... naturally sound its more like an amp with different kind of effect.. is there any tube in there? like tone bone? how do i get this one in Indonesia?

[@awesomejohnnet]

It explains in the writeup at the top right of the page that "it was recorded directly" without an amp... for direct recording its not bad and with a good tube amp it should sound a whole lot better.. I think the company wanted to show off its sound recprded directly into a recorder without a mike or an amp.

[@rickyraveon]

Thanks for posting this. I've read all the reviews, but seeing is believing. I'm contemplating either upgrading my pedals but this is definately more bang for the buck. Heck, just the pedal board, a Boss gigadelay & Digitech Brian May pedal is nearly $600, & that's what I've been looking at. This might have sealed the deal.

[@Francisvictor777]

I have the vox 6 years ago and is not for sale. I had the line 6 and the tone of the vox is much better.

[@danielolsson7687]

Whay the preset chart in the manual exist??!

[@DJGroff]

does anyone know how this would sound through the tech21 60 power engines? i thought about getting a couple for a new sound.... any input?

[@JoshMyersBand]

Great Playing and great modeling!! Great job VOX

[@EliasGTFOUR]

Is there any way to add 2 effects from the PEDAL selector in my program ?

[@Whyrendog]

You can tell at the beginning the pick attack is something that you wont get in a Line 6. Some of the "heavy" sounds remind me of the Johnson J-Station which to me was better than Line 6 for "faking" sounds. The line 6 jazz clean was better than the Johnson though. I'm sure with all the tweaking I've done on J and 6 that I can get this to work for me just fine.

[@Gregorypeckory]

I'm curiuos; have you compared the LE to the SE? I'm kind of partial to the two expression pedals in my SE, but I may have to upgrade if the sounds are much better; plus I like the smaller footprint.

[@2112bigmack]

I'm going on tour this summer, and we're strapped for bus space, so I can't bring an amp. I'm playing through a PA, and I don't have a whole lot of money. I was wondering if anyone knew of any cheaper alternatives that will still give me the dynamics and versatility?

[@GpJBRM]

Roger Daltrey's brother playing guitar. Superb playing !

[@GOMPP]

What's the difference between the LE and the ST besides the size & price tag?

[@rishulmatta16]

if u cant use wah wid overdrive then u can use it wid the 16 pre amps it has cant u??? u can increase the gain settings of the pre amp???? nd get a good wah wit high gain??? correct???

[@ZQUIDGE]

Nice playing! :) I have the SE version and its wicked.

[@NuMetalBeDamned]

I bought this tonelab, and i'm using it with a Marshall MG 100 half stack. The problem is, is that when i plug both into my guitar, the great sound of the amp kinda gets muffled, or it dosen't sound as good with the tonelab (pinch harmonics don't sound good, ect). i was wondering if this was a good combination of products or if i should try something else?

[@ARTOFWAR2008]

Does anyone know what Vox's is putting out next year?

[@DJGroff]

it has a hold delay function, which is similar somewhat, but its not a looper

[@djgianni82]

I'm an italian guitar player and i'm looking for a pedal bord form live performances and home recording. I'm interested in: 1. Pink Floy/ led zeppelin sounds. 2. Using it with my Marshall valvestate s40 (i don't need amp & cab sim) the question is: is the tonelab LE ok for my job? i tried it and i found it very user friendly and sounds great. some effects are not yet implemented (and maybe never will be implementented) like: - harmonizer (intell. pitch shift) - bass simulator - synt guitar

[@reghin79]

@UKToneKing Ok, you made me watch the video again so as to point out something that even a beginner would have picked up on. 2:37 to 2:40 - he taps a bit, noobishly, then jumps further up the neck about 7 halftones into an alternate picking motion and slips to the 8th halftone by mistake, then goes back to the right one. He doesn't play with his fingers, he plays the guitar with his arms. His hands look very tense, his movement looks very indecisive. Reminds me of myself 10 years ago.

[@gtrjoe68]

im thinking of getting one too. but can it get the heavy stuff like metallica or patera type stuff?

[@Reite07]

Since he shown you can control the tremolo in real time, can you control the phaser in real time?

[@geo0859]

Hey I use a tonelab LE and 2 Tech21 power engines (my guitar is an US Fender Strat vintageplayer). I only can say : do it ! ! ! Georges from France

[@xypher2]

Can the tonelab le handle stuff like metallica and megadeth? Cos i liked the clean and mid gain stuff but i didnt try the high gain ones.

[@DJGroff]

i got this pedal recently and itll do anything you want it too! it sounds way better than any other multi fx pedal ive used....not just saying that

[@davidmoralescasillas9893]

what was the price? it was new?

[@KyleKingGuitar]

it was recorded direct from the pedal

[@aec0691]

the drop d setting... does that actually tune dadgbe or is it just a high gain setting?

[@Jhaakri]

If I were to use an amp, what do you recommend? I heard tech 21 trademark is the perfect for this. Any one you know that will not color the LE's sound.

[@BorneoClassical]

could anybody tell me what is the setting for the big lead?,,im trying to adapt in in my ST..urgent..

[@aerorock29]

How about sound on sound. Is the LE capable of that? Is there an aux. input?

[@bianchiniman]

so could i plug directly into a PA system?

[@Gregorypeckory]

I think your playing was killer, and the unit sounds great. I love my SE, and may have to upgrade eventually. Just depends on whether there's a noticable improvement in the sounds; it's kind of hard to imagine, since my toy has such killer sounds.

[@DJGroff]

will the tube in this thing go out??

[@Marathonmarch]

I own a line 6 x3 live a boss gt-8 and a tonelab. The tonelab rocks period guys so if you are after tone get the tonelab hands down

[@ARTOFWAR2008]

Is the Le the same as the korg AX3000?

[@ArapuniWizard]

Are you Eric Johnson's brother? Nice!

[@freebirdjoe]

if you run it through an amp is it best to set the amp for a clean tone?

[@VoxAmpsVideos]

Hey there! This is all direct! Sounds killer.

[@Yvesluca]

i want to buy such an effektboard an be able to plug it on an amp. do i nned a vox amp or can i use any other amp? i have a laney lx12 amp

[@Canadianspunge]

@intaomri Hey, Now that you've had both for a few weeks, which would you recommend to someone who doesn't have either and is gonna get either the Tonelab or the Pod XT Live?

[@reissue]

If I buy this will it make me play like that guy?

[@joe44850]

@Hertsman50 Hey, I'm curious, did you ever end up purchasing this? If so, are you happy with it? I have one, and while I don't mind it through phones, I find it sounds very horrible through speakers.

[@hendrixforever92]

@TheHornet79 I'm going through the same thing dude. lol i feel this pedal has deffinately got more "life" to it. but thats just from what i hear. tone is entirely up to you and what you can make of it. I'm just trying to find something to get me a nice glass tone for my tele, so start comparing by what you play and what your style is.

[@kimrass]

Which one is better.VOX LE or BOSS GT10. 4 Real...
