I got my first introduction to VOX Tonelab boards when I saw a dude playing one direct into his PA at a casino a couple of years back. I was amazed at how awesome it sounded, and completely changed my opinion of using models in a live situation. Since then, I’ve played with some of the Tonelab series boards and Valvetronix amps, and have generally been pleased with them. But with the Tonelab SE, I think I’m going to take a really good look at this new offering from Vox.
- First off, it’s nice and compact. It’s their smallest footprint yet!
- 50 Presets and 50 User programs.
- 33 amps and a 11 cabinets – more than you’ll ever need to customize your sound.
- I’ve always dug the fact that it has an on-board expression pedal to adjust a bunch of different parameters – but most of all, to use as a wah (the wah is actually pretty sweet on these units).
- Finally, at $199 (street), there’s tons of value in this little unit!
