buttons to select “Ln” (LINE). If you’ve connected ToneLabSE to your guitar
amp, set this to “AP” (AMP).
7. Turn up the volume controls of your amp or mixer, and ToneLabSE’s rear panel
LEVEL knob (11.3) 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!

ROGRAMS
8. Use the BANK UP, DOWN buttons (6.1) to select a bank 1–24.
Notice that the number in the bank display (5.1) blinks and changes.
HINT: ToneLabSE has 96 programs, organized into 24 banks with four programs in
each bank (24 x 4 = 96). When shipped from the factory, banks 1–8 contain 32 pro-
grams. (The programs in banks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 are identical to each other)
Program Select mode lets you select these programs. There’s also an effect ON/
OFF mode that lets you turn individual effects on/off.
HINT: For an illustration, look at “Bank/Program/Channel/Select/Display Sec-
tion” in the diagram at the end of this manual.
9. Use the program select 1–4 pedals (6.2) to select a program.
The program LED you selected will light, and the number in the bank display
will also change and stay lit. Go ahead and play your guitar.
For example if you want to select program 3-1 (bank 3, program 1), press the
BANK UP or DOWN pedal to make the bank display read “3,” and then press
the program select 1 pedal to make the LED light.
If you’re selecting a program in the same bank, simply press a program select
1–4 pedal. If you want to select a program from a different bank, you’ll need to
perform steps 8 and 9 in that order.
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 “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.68 has a list of the preset programs.
10. The two expression pedals are assigned to control the most appropriate
parameters for each program, such as wah, volume, delay, reverb input level,
or other effect parameter. The CONTROL switch is assigned functions such as
TAP tempo input of the delay time.
11. By pressing the A/B Ch switch you can instantly switch between 2 sets of amp
and cabinet models within each program.
12. By pressing the FX ON/OFF (TUNER) switch you can switch to Effect On/Off
mode. Effect On/Off mode lets you switch each effect on/off just like you were
using a set of stomp boxes. Program select 1–4 will switch pedal, modulation,
delay, and reverb on/off respectively, and the BANK DOWN pedal will bypass
the insert effect.
