2. ACOUSTIC
Wanna go "unplugged" without the hassle of
switching guitars and amps? Enter the acoustic
guitar simulator — a clever effect that magically
converts an electric guitar's sound into that of an
acoustic. It works best with a single coil (read: low
output) pickup in the neck position, especially
when paired with the BLACK 2x12 amp model.
[1] "BODY" ...............................................0.0...10.0
* Adjusts the resonance of the body selected
via the TYPE parameter.
[2] "BASS" ...............................................1.0...10.0
* Adjusts the bass.
[3] "TREBLE" ...........................................1.0...10.0
* Adjusts the treble.
[5] "TYPE"........................................................1...4
Selects the type of body.
1: M-SMALL Small-size, old body suitable for
delicate arpeggio technique.
2: G-SMALL Small-size body that features a
unique mid range loved by coun-
try blues players.
3: T-LARGE Large-size body that features a
sophisticated sound suitable for
pop music.
4: RESO Body suitable for a resonator gui-
tar for playing slide.
3. VOX WAH
This effect is modeled on two legendary VOX
wah pedals; the V847 and the V848 Clyde
McCoy model. Thanks to their unique "throaty"
tone, these are the only wah pedals many pro-
fessionals will consider stepping on. When used
wisely, this pedal can either make your guitar cry
like a baby or howl like a man possessed!
[2] "CLOSE".............................................1.0...10.0
Adjusts the tone when the wah pedal is closed.
[3] "OPEN"...............................................1.0...10.0
Adjusts the tone when the wah pedal is open.
[4] "MANUAL" ..........................................1.0...10.0
* Adjusts the openness (position) of the wah.
[5] "TYPE".................................................847, 848
Selects either V847 or V848 Clyde McCoy
model as the wah type
[6] "ORDER" ...................... PrE(PRE), PoS(POST)
Selects the connection order. PRE/POST con-
nects the wah before/after the Amp Model.
USEFUL TONE HINT:
A great tonal trick that's employed by many gui-
tarists, including some who are household
names, is to find a "sweet spot" within the range
of their Wah pedal and then leave it there. This
is often called stuck-Wah (imagine that!) and,
when used tastefully, can be very effective as it
produces a very distinctive sound that will cut
through any mix. You can dial in a stuck-Wah
"sweet spot" with your TONE control in a heart-
beat. Try it, it's cool...
4. U-VIBE
Modeled on the famous phase/vibrato pedal effect
unit. This effect simulates a rotating speaker and
produces a wonderfully seductive and "watery"
tone. Interestingly enough, the guy responsible for
this great pedal is also responsible for the birth of
the remarkable Valve Reactor Technology used in
the power amp of your ToneLab LE.
[1] "SPEED" .................................1.00...10.00 [Hz]
* Adjusts the speed of the Uni-Vibe effect.
[2] "DEPTH" ............................................ 0.0...10.0
* Adjusts the depth of the Uni-Vibe effect.
[3] "MIX" .................................................. 0.0...10.0
Adjusts the mixture of direct sound and vibrato.
HINT: If you set up Speed to be controlled by an
expression pedal, you'll be able to control the
vibrato speed just like on a phase/vibrato
pedal effect unit.
5. BLK/ORG PHASE (B/O PHAS)
This models three models of phaser; a wide-range
four-stage phaser that was made in Denmark and
packaged in a black box, a popular four-stage phaser
that came in a banana-colored box, and a mild-
sounding ten-stage phaser that was likewise banana-
colored. Use the TYPE knob to select the model.
[1] "SPEED" ...............................0.100...10.00 [Hz]
* Adjusts the modulation speed.
[2] "DEPTH" ............................................ 0.0...10.0
* Adjusts the modulation depth.
[3] "RESO" .............................................. 0.0...10.0
* Adjusts the amount of resonance.
[4] "MANUAL".......................................... 1.0...10.0
* Adjusts the center frequency of the sweep.
MANUAL has no effect if DEPTH is set to 10.
[5] "TYPE" .......................................... bL, Or1, Or2
Selects the type of phaser.
bL: Danish four-stage phaser with a wide
range.
Or1: Popular four-stage phaser in a banana-
colored box.

[6] "ORDER" ....................PrE (PRE), PoS (POST)
Selects the connection order. PRE/POST places

ness and "weight" to single note lines.
