A Guitarist’s Guided Panel Tour ere we’re going to learn about the knobs, buttons, and jacks on ToneLab’s top and rear panel. H To help make this manual as painless to use as possible, we’ve given it an inside back cover that folds out. And, when you fold it out you’ll see nice big pic- tures of the Top Panel, Rear Panel and more. Why did we do this? So you can have pictures of both panels staring you in the face while you read about ‘em - thus avoiding the annoying “flicking between pages” t

1.5 TREBLE Control 1.6 MIDDLE Control 1.7 BASS Control This trio of controls allows you to dial-in the exact amount of high, mid, and low frequencies.

NOTE: In keeping with the originals, certain models will produce almost no sound when these three tone controls are turned all the way down (counterclockwise). NOTE: Not all of the original amps that we modeled have contro

EFFECTS SECTION 2 The PEDAL effects are connected in “front” of the amp, and allow you to add one pedal effect to your setup, if you wish. All ten (10) of the effects on offer here are models of classic stompbox effects and, therefore, are meant to be added to your guitar’s signal before it hits the actual amp. Modulation, delay, and reverb are placed after the cabinet, which is the way it’s done in a studio. HINT: The reason that modulation, delay, and reverb effects are invariably set up

4 VALVE 4.1 Valve window ToneLab contains a 12AX7 (ECC83) valve (vacuum tube). The valve is a key part of the Valve Reactor power amp. NOTE: The valve window may break if it is subjected to impact.
