Vox E 1 owner manual Listen to the Programs, Use the Bank , buttons 3.2 to select a bank

5.Before you turn ToneLab on, lower the volume of your amp or mixer so you don’t hear any potentially speaker-damaging pops or buzzes. Then turn on the STANDBY switch (6.2) to power up ToneLab.

6.Turn up the volume controls of your amp or mixer, and ToneLab’s rear panel LEVEL knob (9.3) to adjust the volume.

NOTE: You won’t hear sound for several seconds while the valve (a.k.a. “vacuum tube” if you live on the west side of the Atlantic) warms up. This isn’t a malfunction

– it’s a real analogue valve!

LISTEN TO THE PROGRAMS

7.Use the BANK ▲, ▼ buttons (3.2) to select a bank 1–24.

Notice that the number in the bank display (3.1) blinks and changes.

HINT: ToneLab has 96 programs, organized into 24 banks with four channels in each bank (24 x 4 = 96). When shipped from the factory, banks 1–12 contain 48 programs. (The programs in banks 13–24 are identical to the programs in banks 1– 12.) Program Select mode lets you select these programs. ToneLab also has a Manual mode that simply reflects the current settings (positions) of the selectors and knobs.

HINT: For an illustration, look at 3 “Bank/Manual/Write/Tuner/Channel Section” in the diagram at the end of this manual.

8.Use the CHANNEL SELECT 1–4 buttons (3.3) to select a channel.

The selected channel will light, and the number in the bank display will stop blinking and stay lit. The program is now selected. Play your guitar to try it out! For example if you want to select program 1-2 (bank 1, channel 2), use the BANK ▲, ▼ buttons to make the bank display show “1,” and then press the SELECT CHANNEL 2 button to make the button light.

To select another program in the same bank, simply press one of the CHAN- NEL SELECT buttons 1–4. To select a program from a different bank, perform steps 7 and 8.

NOTE: If you can’t select a program, you’re probably not in Program Select mode. Get back into Program Select mode as described in “Getting to Program Select Mode” (p.16).

HINT: The preset programs cover an amazing range of sounds; fat hi-gain lead sounds, nostalgic clean sounds that work best with your rhythm (neck) pickup, aggressive modern crunch sounds for heavy riffing with your lead (bridge) pickup, and much more. P.57 has a list of the preset programs.

STEP ON IT!: If you have the optional VOX Valvetronix foot controller, you can use it to switch programs.
