stand alone pedals 22 The <strong>ToneLab</strong> <strong>EX</strong> provides eleven models of the most popular effect pedals. You can use the GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE and BASS controllers to adjust the major parameters. HINT: Each pedal type’s GAIN (adjusted by the top panel GAIN control) can be assigned to the expression pedal for control. For details on how to assign a parameter to the expression pedal, refer to “Assigning a function to the expression pedal (Quick Assign)” (p. 31). 1. TONE DRIVE This effect models a California boutique pedal that offers a clean boost and overdrive in one effect. Dial in the right amount of singing distortion and give your amp the boost it needs to get extra sustain. 2. BRIT LEAD This models a pedal that was nicknamed “The Leader”. It is a British Overdrive designed to give more power and punch to any amp. 3. FAT DIST Based on a pedal named after one of the most disliked rodents to ever walk the planet! The result is a smooth distor‐ tion rich in harmonics... nasty but nice. 4. METAL DIST This is a distortion unit that’s ideal for metal. 5. ROCK PLANET Need metal? Well this is it. This model is based off a popular metal distortion that uses a mid‐frequency sweep that scoops you right down into the inner depths of the planet. 6. TUBE DX This effect models a relatively new ultra high gain distortion designed by a British amp company using an ECC83 tube and high tension 300 volt circuit. 7. BIG FUZZ This model is based on a pedal often referred to by its nick‐ name—the “Rams head”. These were produced in New York between 1972 and 1977 and are highly collectible and known for having a complex harmonic fuzzed out distortion with long sustain. 8. VOX TONE BENDER This model is based on our original 60’s Tone Bender fuzz pedal. The VOX TONE BENDER was an aggressive fuzz that utilized two transistors. The Tone Bender was innovative because it allowed more control over the distor‐ tion with controls for attack and level. 9. OCTA FUZZ This models a legendary UFO‐shaped fuzz unit that gener‐ ates standard fuzz effects, and adds a pitch one octave above the original. To get the best results, be sure to use your front pickup.
10.TECHNO FUZZ This new‐generation fuzz combines aggressive distorted gui‐ tar sounds with vicious techno synth sounds. MIDDLE con‐ trol on this model adjusts “sound color”. 11.CRUSHER The distortion of this new‐generation fuzz will absolutely destroy everything. Pedal 1 HINT: Parameters that can be assigned to the expression pedal are indicated by a “*”. For details on how to assign a pa‐ rameter to the expression pedal, refer to “Assigning a function to the expression pedal (Quick Assign)” (p. 31) 1. COMP This models a compressor pedal that is popular for its percussive clean sound. It’s perfect for the pop or funk music of the 80’s and 90’s. It can also produce a singing, mellow sustain. Knob Parameter PEDAL 1 SENS* Adjusts the sensitivity. Turn the knob toward the right to increase the compression and sustain. 2. VOX V847 This effect is modeled on the legendary VOX wah pedal, the V847. Thanks to its unique “throaty” tone, many profes‐ sionals love stepping on this wah pedal. If you select VOX V847, the expression pedal will automatically function as a wah pedal. Knob Parameter PEDAL 1 MANUAL* Adjusts the tone. 3. TONE This models a tone control circuit similar to those built into electric guitars. Knob Parameter PEDAL 1 TONE* Adjusts tone. 4. ENERGIZER This boosts (energizes) but also tightens the low range. Knob Parameter PEDAL 1 ENERGIZE* Adjusts the depth of the effect. NOTE: Depending on the selected effects, boosting the low range with this model may generate an unwanted dis‐ tortion. In that case, lower the VOLUME setting in the amp section. 23
