A. AMP MODELS
Which amps did we painstakingly model for our seductive selection of 16? Believe
me when I say it wasn’t easy ‘cos, as I’m sure you know, there’s a plethora of great
sounding amps out there. After countless hours of soul searching, earnest discus-
sions (not to mention the occasional friendly argument!), calls to tone-wise friends
(some professional players, some not...but all blessed with great ears) plus, of
course, listening and playing, a top 16 list was finally drawn up. As you’re about to
discover, the ones we went with are not only the cream of the crop but also offer
up the widest possible array of the greatest guitar tones known to man - from pris-
tine clean to outrageous overdrive and all points in-between. First though, some
stuff you should know...
Controlling Factors
As already touched on in this manual, although the top panel of your ToneLab
houses controls for GAIN, VR GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, PRESENCE
and CH VOLUME, not all of the amps we’ve modelled have as many controls.
In such cases, rather than leave you with knobs that do nothing (what on earth
would be the point of that!?), we’ve made full use of all six (6) ToneLab controls
without compromising the accuracy of any of our models. This means you’ll be
able to mimic the full tonal spectrum of each and every one of the originals
we’ve modelled...and then some, thanks to the extra flexibility and additional
control the six ToneLab controls give you.
For example, if an original amp doesn’t have a complete 3 band EQ network
then we’ll set up the “missing” tone controls on our model to be “neutral” (i.e.
as the original) when set it at 12 o’clock - thus giving you extra tonal flexibility in
those EQ areas, if you so wish. Just so you know, the amps we modelled that
don’t have individual controls for Treble, Middle and Bass are:
Also, as you’d probably expect, we do the same exact thing with the ToneLab’s
PRESENCE control too - namely, if one isn’t present (bad pun, not intended!)
