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 argu-

ment!), 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 possi-

ble array of the greatest guitar tones known to man

— from pristine 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 amp model of your ToneLab LE houses con-

trols for GAIN, VR GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE,

BASS, PRESENCE and CH VOLUME, not all of

the amps we’ve modelled have as many con-

trols. 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 LE 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 mod-

elled...and then some, thanks to the extra ﬂexibil-

ity and additional control the six ToneLab LE

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 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 LE’s PRESENCE

control too — namely, if one isn’t present (bad

pun, not intended!) on the original then PRES-

ENCE will be an added control on our model.

This time though, the “neutral” position is when

the control is all the way off (turned fully counter-

clockwise). The two models this applies to are

BLACK 2x12 and TWEED 1x12.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

As you’ll discover when you read their descrip-

tions, in the case of the AC15, AC15TB, AC30

and AC30TB models, we’ve utilized the PRES-

ENCE control to mimic the TOP CUT control —

whether it was present on the original or not.

ABOUT THE GAIN AND VOLUME KNOBS

ToneLab LE’s amp models provide three pro-

grammable knobs that affect the volume (gain);

GAIN, VR GAIN, and CH VOLUME. Each control

has its own speciﬁc job, and the sound of a par-

ticular amp model can vary over an amazingly

wide range just depending on the settings of

these knobs.

As some of you will know, most vintage amps

only have one VOLUME control to set up the

sound, whilst more modern amps usually have

two types of level controls — GAIN (or some-

times PREAMP VOLUME) that controls the input

level of the preamp section, and MASTER VOL-

UME that controls how much signal is (and how

loud it is going to be) passed from the preamp to

the power amp. With many vintage amps there is

no MASTER VOLUME, the preamp feeds

directly into the power amp without any type of

control.

The ToneLab LE’s controls are designed to cover

all these points:

ToneLab LE GAIN: On vintage type models that

do not have a master volume (i.e., AC15,

AC15TB, AC30, AC30TB, UK BLUES, UK 68P,

BLACK 2x12, TWEED 1x12, TWEED 4x10), the

GAIN control works like the VOLUME of the orig-

inal amp. On models that do have a master vol-

ume, the GAIN control works like GAIN or

PREAMP VOLUME.
