A Guitarist’s Guided Panel Tour

ere we’re going to learn about the knobs, buttons, and jacks on ToneLab’s Htop and rear panel.

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” that most manual’s require you to do because there’s only one picture of a panel and it’s never on the same page you’re reading! So, fold out that useful back cover and let’s go...

THE TOP PANEL

1AMP SECTION

These control the settings for the amp.

1.1 AMP TYPE Selector

This allows you to select an amp type. The amp type you select will determine the operation of the power amp (Class A or AB), the response of the tone con- trols, and the wiring of the circuitry, causing the controls to function just as you would expect on the actual amp being modeled. The sixteen stunningly accu- rate amp models - each of which is based on an accepted all-tube classic – include the legendary VOX AC30TBX. (For details, see p.21.) As already men- tioned in the intro to this manual, each model not only replicates the exact gain and tonal characteristics of the original amp’s preamp circuit, it also simulates the all-important power amp stage, in terms of both Class (A or AB) and nega- tive feedback circuit (or lack thereof).

1.2 CABINET TYPE Selector

This selects one of ten cabinet models that replicate the shape and size of the cabinet plus the type and number of its speakers. (For details, refer to p.31.)

HINT: Notice that the AMP TYPE, CABINET TYPE, and PEDAL selectors have the instantly recognizable “chicken-head” (pointer) knobs in the true VOX tradition.

Preamp Controls

1.3 GAIN Control

This adjusts the preamp gain of the selected amp model.

1.4 VR GAIN Control

This adjusts the volume from the preamp to the Valve Reactor circuit. This set- ting will affect the amount of distortion produced by the Valve Reactor. (For details, refer to p.22.)

NOTE: The amount of Valve Reactor distortion is also affected by the GAIN control. With some settings, you’ll notice less distortion.
