ODELS
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 sound-
ing amps out there. After countless hours of soul searching, earnest discussions (not
to mention the occasional friendly argument!), calls to tone-wise friends (some profes-
sional 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 pristine clean to outrageous over-
drive and all points in-between. First though, some stuff you should know...
Controlling Factors
As already touched on in this manual, although the amp model of your
ToneLabSE 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)
ToneLabSE 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 flexi-
bility and additional control the six ToneLabSE 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
ToneLabSE’s PRESENCE control too - namely, if one isn’t present (bad pun,
not intended!) on the original then PRESENCE will be an added control on our
