Well Mark I'd be curious as to how you did the JC120 thingy on the tonelab (and why???? in gods name) and Actually like most of the stomp box effects on the tonelab allot except, the overdrive and distortion models on the front end; a klon clone, even more exaggerated mid range honk than the original, a tube screamer model , that just doesn't rattle my cage, and a rat model, zzzzzzzz, among others, though the octavia octave, and ring modulator effects are quite nice. My solution was, until a week ago, to pirate my fulltone fulldrive from my gig rig pedal board, and stick it in the tonelabs effects loop (which is at the front of the chain). Well last week I got my new twin tube pedal from Seymour Duncan, and I am just dumb struck at how good this thing sounds driving the front end of the tonelab. Since it uses two subminiature tubes running at high plate voltage, it adds tremendous dynamics and dimension not to mention two channels of anything from clean boost with a hint of extra fatness, to very saturated, yet smooth and singing overdrive, all with great touch sensitivity. I just submitted a review to Harmony Central, in which I shamelessly gushed about how good it sounds. Since I like many of the delay and modulation presets on the tone lab, and I'm not a big flange or chorus guy, I was just searching for a more natural sounding overdrive to compliment the tweed, black face, early marshall, and vox models I tend to use, and boy does this puppy fit the bill.

I'll check tonight and let you know. I know the key was leaving out either the amp modeling stage or cab modeling stage. Also, I found I got better results when I use the VF-1's stereo chorus (which I know Kris has a couple of) I have to say that as much as I like some of the stompbox models of the Tonelab, when I'm in the studio I ditch them in favor of the VF-1's which I feel are really great (and MIDI syncable which the tonelab sadly isn't) Don't sell them Kris, you'll be sad. Also I found they're one of the best processor out there for putting distortion on keyboard sounds (though not for guitar) Mark Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
