Five more rotary knobs provide control over the amp's gain, treble, middle, bass and volume. Overall, there's a tonslab mix of favoured old classics and newer models taking you from ultra-clean to full-on metal. No individual FX switching. Whatever pedal is chosen has one major parameter that can be adjusted. The clean vkx, for example, gives you a Dumble Overdrive Special, a Roland JC and a model of a four-band tone control for a pure clean sound.
The USB computer connection allows two channels of audio back vod forth with the single output on the back of the unit acting as a stereo output for headphones or another monitoring system if not being used as the mono send to an amp.

Vox ToneLab ST review
While undoubtedly strong on sounds, the LE perhaps lacked some of the flexibility of its rivals by not having direct computer connection. Some of the effects are modelled on specific pedals while others are generic; there's nothing important missing. Vox's Valvetronix modelled sounds are widely regarded as among the very best and the new ToneLab ST represents a nicely affordable way to get into them. If it's just, say, chorus that you need, you could set up one blank patch next to one that has chorus and just hit the up or down footswitch to alternate between the two.
While in this mode the treble knob adjusts presence and the middle knob turns on and sets the amount of noise reduction. Setting up a sound is straightforward whether you are starting from scratch or just tweaking one of the onboard presets. A pair of footswitches provides up and down access through the list of patches and can also select the onboard tuner.
