Reviews
"We can easily find just about whatever [sounds] we're looking for quickly without the need for endless menus and faffing about."
"The lower-gain amp models are where the ST really shines, however. The Fender-style models, Vox AC15, and AC30 emulations and, in particular, 'boutique' clean sounds are highly evocative. The beefier Marshall-type sounds are strong, too, though we found many of the higher-gain models further around the dial lacked the bite and 'chunk' of the real thing"
"The Tonelab ST provides a practical, compact and easy to use tone-shaping solution that has much to offer to both beginners and more advanced players."

Effect parameters can be quickly assigned to the expression pedal, ensuring a limitless range of performance power.
Sophisticated extras include an auto chromatic tuner, sound management software for your PC, and convenient USB audio interface operations. The ToneLab ST is designed to deliver the ultimate in tonal dexterity to the musician in any situation, from stage to studio and everywhere in between.
True 12AX7 tube circuitry
The Valvetronix series was developed with painstaking attention to detail. The valve circuitry features a real 12AX7 vacuum tube - along with other components - to cleanly mimic the interaction that occurs in a tube amplifier in a way no digital circuit can. This distinguishes the ToneLab ST from other manufacturer's modeling units. This fundamental difference is the basis for the awesome sonic power available in the ToneLab ST that no other multi-effect unit can obtain.
Sophisticated top-to-bottom modeling technology
Through the years, a handful of guitar amps have provided the inspiration and created the driving force behind the greatest guitar performances in history. ToneLab ST is equipped with thirty-three spot-on amp simulations, including vintage amps, coveted boutique amps, the latest high-gain amps, and entirely new amp models designed by VOX. But the ToneLab ST goes even further, adding eleven classic cabinet configurations that can be mixed and matched with any amp model. That's 363 amp and cabinet combinations available instantly!
Multiple effects add a custom touch
Sure, amps are important. But that's only half of the ToneLab ST story. For a sound that is distinctly your own, we've also included twenty-five accurately modeled effects, ranging from classic stomp boxes of the past to studio-quality rack effects. All of the effects can be manipulated intuitively by turning knobs, making it easy even for the beginner to create their own sounds. Our unique single-knob design lets you select the reverb type (spring, room, and hall) and adjust the mix amount simultaneously. Always-available noise reduction ensures that you won't have to put up with unwanted noise that might otherwise be a problem when using a high-gain amp setting.
One hundred programs, including twenty song presets
A single ToneLab ST program contains amp, cabinet, pedal and modulation effect settings - even noise reduction options - providing enormous freedom and versatility for creating your own sounds. There are fifty preset programs for immediate use, covering a broad range of styles and playing styles. The preset programs include twenty song programs, able to instantly reproduce the familiar sounds of those great guitar songs that everyone will recognize. This way, you can enjoy the versatile sounds of the ToneLab SE right away - before you even consider creating your own programs. But when you're ready, the ToneLab ST can hold fifty of your custom edited programs. Together with the preset programs, this gives you a total of one hundred programs, available on demand.
Unlimited expressive pedal power
The ToneLab ST provides an expression pedal that lets you control various tone shaping effects and parameters as you play. In addition to volume and wah, you can use the pedal to control realtime effect parameters - amplifier gain, tremolo speed, flanger depth, etc - providing a dramatic leap in expressive potential. The "Quick Assign" function lets you assign any effect parameter on the fly. By specifying the range of control, you can quickly create highly original performance settings.
Excellent audio integration with your computer
ToneLab ST is a complete ASIO-compatible USB audio interface. With a single USB connection, the ToneLab ST will conveniently interface with your computer DAW or sequencing software. ToneLab ST delivers the signal to your computer digitally, with no degradation in sound, for flawless recordings. Librarian software (Windows/Mac) for managing ToneLab ST programs will be available as a free download, and allows the easy exchange of data between users.
Versatile support functions
An auto-chromatic tuner featuring great visibility is built right in. Mute and bypass functions allow you to tune unnoticed while on stage. The ToneLab ST's powerful Amp/Line switch lets you instantly apply the appropriate compensation for a guitar amp, power amp or direct recording connection, so you can take full advantage of its full sonic potential in any situation. There's also an AUX IN jack so you can play along with the sound of your favourite band in nearly any format. Compact in size, the on-the-go ToneLab ST is big on features and huge on tone!
