ep, we know. You’d rather be playing guitar than reading this manual. Who
wouldn’t? I know I would so here’s a “Quick Start” to get you up and run-
ning without delay (pun intended)
First we’ll get started by trying out ToneLabSEs programs and then we’ll
explain how to use the various controls and knobs to create your own sounds.
Right. Once you’ve gotten the urge to play out of your system, you should
really give this manual a chance - it’s been written by a fellow guitar fanatic and is
full of useful tips and info that’ll give you much more detail about ToneLabSE than
what’s in the “Quick Start.”
Ok, ok we’re almost done here. I just want to recommend to you that you
fold out the inside back cover of this manual. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Good. The reason you should do this is so you can see the pictures of the
Top and Rear panels whilst we talk. There, now plug in and play!!!!

ETUP
1. If you’re connecting ToneLabSE to a mixer or recorder, connect OUTPUT jacks
L/MONO and R (11.4) to the input jacks of your mixer or recorder. If you’re lis-
tening through headphones, connect your headphones to the PHONES jack
(11.5).
If you’re connecting ToneLabSE to a guitar amp(s) connect OUTPUT jacks L/
MONO and R to the input jacks of your guitar amp(s).
NOTE: If you’re connecting ToneLabSE to something that only has a mono input,
just use the L/MONO jack.
HINT: Rear panel area (at the end of this manual) shows an illustration of this.
2. Turn the LEVEL knob (11.3) on the rear panel of ToneLabSE all the way to the
left (as viewed from the rear), setting the volume to 0.
3. Plug the supplied AC/AC power supply into ToneLabSE’s rear panel AC9V
power inlet (10.2), and plug the power supply into an AC wall socket.
4. Plug your guitar into the rear panel INPUT jack (11.1).
5. Before you turn ToneLabSE 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 (10.1) to power up ToneLabSE.
6. If you’ve connected ToneLabSE to a mixer or recorder, press the GLOBAL
switch (3.4) to select the OUT SEL menu, and use the value knob [6] or the
