To adjust the sound of the AMP model, use the AMP selector to select one of
the sixteen amp models. Then you can simply adjust the sound pretty much in
the same way as if you were really using the actual model of guitar amp you
selected.
Adjust the GAIN value knob 1, TREBLE value knob 3, MIDDLE value knob 4,
BASS value knob 5, and the VR GAIN value knob 2 (which corresponds to the
MASTER) as you like. To get the most accurate vintage tube amp distortion,
raise the VR GAIN as high as possible. The CH VOLUME value knob 6 lets you
adjust the volume while retaining the overall sound including the distortion pro-
duced by the Valve Reactor.
If you press the PRES-NR button, you can then use value knob 3 to adjust
PRESENCE and value knob 4 to adjust the NR (Noise Reduction) effect.
When you use the AMP MODEL and CABINET MODEL selectors, a different
type of guitar amp will appear before your very eyes – or, should we say, ears!
ToneLabSE holds in its memory two combinations of amp and cabinet models
for each program, and you can use the A/B ch pedal to switch instantly
between these.
HINT:
P. 34 lists recommended combinations of amp and cabinet models but others
are fine too.
HINT:
If you want to replicate the sound of the original amp, set [VR GAIN] to the
maximum setting on vintage-type models that do not have a master volume control
(i.e., AC15, AC15TB, AC30, AC30TB, UK BLUES, UK 68P, BLACK 2x12, TWEED
1x12, and TWEED 4x10). For modern-type amps that have a master volume con-
trol, adjust [VR GAIN] in the same way that you would on the original amp. When
the [VR GAIN] setting is low, preamp-type distortion will occur. As you raise the [VR
GAIN] setting, the pre-amp will begin loading the Valve Reactor to cause clipping,
and the warmth and distortion of the Valve Reactor will be added.

manual.
