But its not stated in the manuals or even on the adverts for the LE so I certainly wouldnt dispute Live Edition as an alternative - both would fit.
Vox Tonelab St Software Played ViaMy question is are the later ones (currently ST and EX, I think) basically the same sounding Also I do have the Jamvox software played via an audio interface through active monitors.Will the Jamvox be similar to the tonelab in tone i.e.I play through my Tonelab more than all of my amps, and almost always on the AC30 model.
Vox Tonelab St Manuals Or EvenThe pots on mine are failing now and even if the new ones are as good, having the thing on the desk works much better for me than having it on the floor (I dont use the presets, I tweak the knobs to set up a nice amp sound for what I want) Im pretty sure the valve emulating an output stage is a big factor in how it sounds like a real amp. Ive tried the line out from my DA5 through the same studio monitors and it lacks something. Also, LE does have a couple of different delays (slap, two-tap) and a multi-tap chorus. Modelling in ST and EX is largely identical, but EX has extra effectsfeatures including stomp box mode. But the key difference between the original trio and the newer ST and EX is that the newer Tonelabs have nowhere near the build quality, range of functionality or parameter control. On paper ST EX have more up to date modelling and offer 33 amp models instead of 16, but too many of those 33 amp models sound so similar that they are simply not worth having. Some of the newer effects are quite nice sounding and the EX offers 2 pedal sections for greater flexibility including a nice exciter effect. Tonally although they do sound quite good to be fair with a brighter EQ floor, IMO they are more digital sounding and processed. To my ears they lack the fuller, bigger, punchier and more valvelike warmth that made the originals such a hit with guitarists. The 2-button ST wasnt meant to be so basic - it was rushed out as a stop gap because Vox unwisely withdrew the LE with no replacement, and were losing ground as they were out of the mfx market for too long. The EX was what the ST was meant to have been although those somewhat tinny, pointless speakers in the EX was the idea of Korg, not Vox. Although EX is advertised as a gigging unit, it falls far short in many essential areas. Although there are 50 user slots in ST and double that in EX, neither ST nor EX offer patch naming facilities and unless you have a prolific memory you cant tell on stage which patch is which, or where it is. The ST and EX have lightweight 12v DC psus that are light, compact and cheap to replace, but the lead is too short and its so thin it breakskinks too easily. Vox Tonelab St Professional Heavy DutyThe older TLs have longer, professional heavy duty 9v DC psus with thick cabling and switchable robust transformers. In ST and EX only user slots are programmable whereas factory slots are not. In EX you have to tap dance two switches simultaneously, which is awkward, inaccurate and clumsy at a gig. There is a conversion programme created by fans for LESE but its fiddly and not wholly accurate. In fact, it doesnt have to be used as a Desk top and could be used as a floor pedal because it was compatible with the VC4 and VC12 floor controllers (made for the original Blue Valvetronix amps).
