I do often track down a favorite players rig and try and re-assemble it with my tonelab to see if I can get in the ball park. Which takes me back to the reasons why other's patches don't work: different equipment and different taste. Once I did download MANY user made patches for some computer modeling software, but most all of it was horrible. So if I'm going to have to fiddle with all the settings anyways, I might as well just start from scratch. They were made with someone else's taste and someone else's equipment. And the main reason that I avoid them is they weren't made with my guitar in mind. I find that the ones that ship with the units are too effects heavy for my taste. It just seems wierd to be emulating an amp, through an amp that they choose to emulate:neutral.
What I wish though is that I could turn off the amp models and just use the effects and such, as I might throw it through the Marshalls then as I also have the VC-12 foot controller.
I was using it for a while through my Acoustasonic for the dirtier tones.īut, when I got the Marshalls, I just lost interest in it even for that. I've never found or been able to dial in really good 'twang' tones.ĭon't know what the deal is I ended up just using a DM-2 and a CS-1 through my Blues Junior. That way you're building your own sounds from the ground up instead of using the presets that were put there at the factory. I would definitely recommend, however, only using the manual mode until you get the hang of the unit. Of course, what sounds fantastic to me might sound like absolute garbage to you, so I'd advise only using these settings as a rough guideline for your work. I use either the Vox AC15TB or Vox AC30 models, and the tones I get with those settings are incredible. Anyway, I set treble at about 5, mid at 4, bass at 2.5 (because there's no sense recording with lots of bass just to eq it out later), presence at full, gain at 3.5, and VR gain at full. I always use manual mode, and never the presets. I set it up just like I would an amp with a few effects in front. A pair of footswitches provides up and down access through the list of patches and can also. Tonelab ST: Tonelab EX: Years of Production. Editing and patch librarian software was downloadable from the Vox web site.
