Introduction
WELCOME ABOARD!
any thanks for adding the VOX Valvetronix ToneLab to your sonic arse-
nal. We’re sure it’ll give you countless hours of great guitar tones that will
feel as good as they sound!
To maximize your chances of enjoying a long and happy relationship with
your ToneLab, please read this manual at least once, and (as they say), “use the
product as directed.” Keep the manual for future reference after you’ve read it;
you’ll want to re-read it later at some point to pick up cool tips you may have
missed the first time around.
MAIN FEATURES
ToneLab features Valve Reactor technology that switches between Class A and
Class AB power amp circuits with an actual 12AX7 (ECC 83) miniature triode
valve (vacuum tube) to create the sound of an actual tube power amp, delivering
the response and tone of classic amps.
ToneLab uses sophisticated modeling technology to create amp, cabinet, and
effect sounds. You can choose from sixteen amp types that include classic vin-
tage amps and expensive high-end valve amps, and ten different cabinet types.
By combining amp types and cabinet types you can create an amazing range of
sounds, some of which have never been heard before.
Since high-quality effects are built in, ToneLab is all you need to create a com-
pletely finished sound. Ten types of pedal effects are placed before the amp.
And after the cabinet are placed five types of modulation effects, three types of
delay effects, and three types of reverb effects. You can choose one type for
each effect plus Noise Reduction, and use them simultaneously.
You can store all of your own amp settings and effect model settings as a “pro-
gram” in one of 96 program memories. ToneLab comes with 48 preset programs
for instant gratification.
Manual Mode lets you use ToneLab just like a conventional guitar amp. The
sound will be exactly as specified by the physical positions of the amp section
knobs. In other words...what you see is what you get!
For convenient tuning, an Auto Chromatic Tuner is built-in.
If the optional VOX Valvetronix foot controller is connected, you can use it to
switch programs, turn effects on/off, or set the tap tempo for the delay time.
Since the foot controller also lets you control the wah and volume pedals, it’s a
must-have item for live performance.
ToneLab plays nicely with other equipment – it has a digital output jack and MIDI
IN/OUT jacks.
