I was shocked amazed today when I went to guitar center to pick up a new pedal board multi fix unit. My GNX3 is about to die to it's time. I tried the POD HD flooar units, the new DIGITECH multi floor units, and everything else they had. Sadly, NONE of them had the amount or quantity of gain I was really looking for and I was taken aback when the guy suggested a VOX piece as I"ve never liked anything with the VOX name on it in the past as none of it seemed built for lead/metal/chug etc. I am happy to say I was DEAD WRONG. I ended up with a TONE LAB EX which is the bigger brother to the ST but still a small board. Solid build I must say and has a real tube in it that provides warmth and signal compression much like a but tube amp turned up. I put it side by side with the other processors and I could not believe it. Even with a light touch, with the compression on and using the high gain amp with overdrive pedal, playing without a pick or thumb using only fingertips was smooth as silk.
Just blew me away and I bought the unit then and there. It also has a USB Audio Interface built in and a software editor for building patches. As a bonus there is now a new software emulator (like amplitude and such) on the market from Vox and I"m gonna try it as well as the Demo is free. Here is a link. http://www.jamvox-online.com/ and here is a vid about the TONE LAB (Using the ST here which is the smaller version but the engine / tube is the same) This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: May 14 2012, 10:33 PM |

Cool! There is a guy now playing some second guitars in some songs by Cirse and he uses this one as a MultiFx. It's really good but I haven't compare it with others.... Good thread mate!
