Once you know the best suited amp settings and cabinets, its auto pilot for me these days. Again, I needed to tweak it over a period of time eventhough its as easy as abc to get descent sounds right away. I use it for gigs and it has transformed my playing and sound. I am not a fan of the suggested recording out mode for dist guitar and prefer the amp out mode but may need a hint of highs and back off on the lows from an external pre/eg as the final recording chain.
I'm glad I did.Īfter researching and taking a punt on the tonelab se, I found it to be the best bit of guitar gear I have owned for the studio d-i recording process.
Best advice is to to make sure you have a return policy from the dealer you buy from. If you are looking for a cool recording DI, or a preamp, it may be just what you want. If you are looking to gig and travel light, it may fall short. If I was going to go that route, I may as well set up my Bogners.Īgain, it depends on your needs and expectations. Pat Travers was using one and it sounded pretty cool, but he was running it into a tube pwr amp and 4x12 cab. However, I was trying to run it direct through a PA and cheat on the roadie work. I tweaked it for days and replaced the toob with a nice Mullard, but it never really had the juice or clean headroom I needed. Probably unrealistic expectations on my part. It didn't work in that capacity and I'm still lugging the big stuff. I wanted to replace my Bogners for live gigging, and drive up to gigs in a Vette with a guitar and the tonelab in the front seat. Its usefulness may depend on how you want to use it. I think it's probably the best of the modelers but I couldn't make it work for me.
