Vox Tonelab Manual
Vox ToneLab LE By Feel:
Notes for the Blind User
By
Chris Smart
0.1: Introduction
The following notes are intended for use by the blind or visually-impaired user, or by those who want to get around the unit without relying on the LCD display. They are in no way a substitute for reading both the ToneLab LE User’s Manual and the ToneLab LE Software Editor documentation, but intended as a supplement. If you use a screen reader and the ToneLab Software Editor, I’d love to hear from you. Specifically, are you able to enter parameter values from the keyboard, or copy a particular effect between presets? If you can do these things, I would like to document these processes. If you have configuration files for your screen reader that make the already quite useable Software Editor more accessible to us, please contact me so they can be included with this document. Also, I still need to make or find a list of which parameters in each effect and amp model can be mapped to the Control Switch and Expression Pedal, so I can mark them with an asterisk or similar punctuation. If you can help, please get in touch. Email me at chris_s AT Sympatico dot ca, or contact username jmz93 on either tonelable.com or tonelab.net, smartguitarist on Skype or chris_smart1@hotmail.com on Windows Live! Messenger.
0.2: Manufacturer’s Description
“The ToneLab LE is a pedal board-style guitar amplifier/speaker modeler and effects processor. The new 24-bit Tonelab LE includes a few improvements on its popular predecessor, the Tonelab SE. The first is a new five-mode amp/line out voiced specially for various applications, from playing into different amp types to direct recording to live performance through a PA system. The “Line 2” amp/line setting features an all-new three band Master EQ section modeled after one of the most acclaimed live mixers ever manufactured. This allows you to EQ the sound of your Tonelab LE to suit any room or sound system. For greater flexibility
