Members louriec Posted January 22, 2009 Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 So I FINALLY got through all 31 pages. Lots of good information in there. I've had my TLLE since last summer and had to put it in storage until I moved. I've had the itch too long and have started tinkering with it again. One thing I was hoping one of you could answer is if there's any way to get a dual delay going on the TL? I know there are obviously delays in the delay section of the TL but I saw there's also a modulated delay in the modulation portion. The manual says the modulated delay can simulate up to 1400 ms, but when you try and adjust the time the range is 1-10. Do I have to do math to figure out the ms and program the modulated delay that way or is there an easier way to get my dual delay action on? Thanks and keep posting! This is by far the most in depth Tonelab forum I've read so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teetop Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 OK - a question for those in the know.Say I wanted to use the Tonelab LE in some situations JUST as an effects processor. And, I only wanted the modulations, delays, and reverbs. And I wanted to run it solely in my amp's effects loop, because I am using my amp's preamp gain with my wah, dirt, compressor, and phaser out in front. I know I can turn off the Tonelab LE's amp, cab, and pedal sims.However, I am wondering if the Tonelab LE can be hooked up in this way without getting fried by my amp's signal. My amp has a series effects loop with a switch for either -10db or +4db, and seems to work well with most pedals.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! yep ,works the same as the effect pedals just never ever hook it to the amp out,that's when you fry it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does explain it. I guess what I would MOST prefer is a signal chain like this.. Guitar -> Wah ->Compression Pedal -> Dirt Pedal -> Amp in -> Amp Send -> Tonelab LE input -> Tonelab LE output -> Amp Return That way, I avoid an A/D conversion on the front-end and keep the preamp signal path completely analog, restricting the digital conversion to after the preamp and solely contained within the loop. Would this work? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gallaghonya Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi All!!Just want to say thank you for all your comments, this forum is one of the most important "pros" for buying my LE. It is a fantastic thing. Really better than I thought.cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoseDN Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 So I'm out of cash and will do the stupid noob question... If I connect this thing to my technics stereo on the living room, will it sound any good ? Do I risk burning it or something ? Cheers José Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jakoblose Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is there any way to get the delay to continue after you switch from one path to another? When I play lead with delay (eg bank 3, no4) and then change to rhythm (bank 3 no 2), the delay cuts off without continuing as I think it should and would do with any stompbox (and even did with my old Boss ME5!!!)? Any solutions? suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members harvmb Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 New guy here as well. Just signed up today... what are the odds that the first thread I see is about the Tonelab...Stopped at a guitar store to pick up some patch cables today, and they had their floor model TLLE on clearance for $250. I was seriously considering buying it, but they didn't have the AC adaptor, so I held off (I spent a good half hour in the store thinking about it, though...). I've been looking around the internet to check prices on the adapter itself, but I've had no luck. Anyone know how much these things run? If its reasonable I might just stop back tomorrow and pick it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to kill a home stereo tweeter (high frequency speaker) using a guitar and distortion. I'd be especially cautious with the TL's Treble Boost and Flanger effects, the filter sweep can contain a LOT of high frequency power, and could easily toast the speaker. Moderate volumes will be OK.

Members Hanzy Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 Another new guy here. I bought an LE recently and it's been awesome, especially coming from using only the effects on my old amp! This community is great too, I'm making my way through reading all the pages...Anyway, just today I got hold of an EHX "White Finger" compressor and I was wondering how to hook it up to my LE. Is it ok to do this: guitar -> compressor -> tonelab -> PA? or can the tonelab only handle a signal straight from a guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members steve350 Posted March 17, 2009 Members Share Posted March 17, 2009 I don't really post here but I do a lot of reading and this is a great forum.Based on all of the reviews I purchased a used tonelab at a good price and in 100% working order.The first thing I did was to download the free editor software from the Vox website and hooked up my tonelab to my computer via midi in and out.I tell you this is the only way to tweak and design your own patches.I purchased a Radio Shack db meter with a small tripod. I put this db meter right in front of my amp. I went through all of my patches and on my computer I was able to get the same volume output for every patch I use.So no mater what patch I press it is going to be at the same level as all of the others.I have to say the NR is a must on a lot of these presets. Just my $02., thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members New Trail Posted March 17, 2009 Members Share Posted March 17, 2009 Is it true you can only have one effect from each group per patch? For example, can you have a patch that has flange and rotary from the modulation group? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 777Brad Posted March 17, 2009 Members Share Posted March 17, 2009 Am I right that Noise Reduction decreases the sustain of held notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steve350 Posted March 17, 2009 Members Share Posted March 17, 2009 I guess it depends a bit on the guitar you are using. It did effect the sustain somewhat. I am using this primarily for recording so the noise factor is a bigger concern for me. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
