zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
This product came with everything to get started with except if you want to connect it to your computer, you're going to have to buy a midi to usb cable and download the free software from Vox's website. The cable costs about $40. You use the software to easily program this unit on your computer. Another great feature is the ability to turn on/off effects during live performance without changing patches. Another of course is the two expression pedals, you can never have too many.

Quality:
This thing is big, a near 28" wide! It's heavy! Almost everything is metal. It's built well and it sounds great.

Value:
It is a good value. If you're looking for great tone at a budget price, this unit is for you!

Desirability:
I fell in love with it when I tried it out in a guitar shop. The sound is a got to have sound. It has a very nice design to it, looks valuable. The color is my favorite color, blue. It will make your guitar scream!

Sound:
I am getting some great tone from this floor unit, unlike those other cheesey fake sounding processors. It has the sound and feel of real amps and cabs with complete control to suite anyone's taste.

Support:
I did contact the company once before I bought the unit to do a little research. They did respond and they did answer my questions and they were easy to reach.

Overall:
I really don't think that it's sound will ever get out of date for it has a real amp sound. I will play it until it works no longer.

Quality:
Excellent Product for the price. I think 599 is fair to get Vox, tube sounds, road worthy floor processor... Blows away Gnx's and Boss. I also own a GT-3. That thing sounds/feels like a toy to the Tonelab. 5 year old technology though...can't compete

Sound:
Excellent sound. I guess if you went from a 3000 dollar digital effects system with all the trimmings you'd feel this unit sucks or has short comings. I DO agree with the other review that if you want to play Metal, you might feel like your sound is two-dimensional. I, thankfully only play hard rock or just straight rock. It does a good Godsmack though. Tube sound is great DOES NEED A BETTER NOISE GATE!

Support:
Never dealt

Overall:
Great Unit. I want a second as a back up.

Hello. Maybe it might be easier to use. If one's not an engineer, it's not that simple. But it sounds GREAT, so'll learn to use it. Must be. Thanks VOX. My first was a AC15 bought on nov.O7 in 1964. Now I've both AC30 and AC30valvetronic. The VT funny but the "Lamps" is far my Favorite because of its SHADOW-sound. Think it's due to my age. Thanks again.

Feature:
Sure the bag is nice, but I coould have made my own. I would have rather had a looping delay to play over, or some other synth sounds to mess with on the rare occasion. Two expression pedals is handy though. Board Layout is great. Looks cool in the dark.

Quality:
I saw the pod xt falling apart in the store, which I originaly went in for, and turned around and tried this one and picked this one up instead. Sound quality is great if you play alot of singal notes that you want people to hear. Construction feels good.

Value:
Wish the unit had more features, more effeects, more, more, to go with the great tone. It is 250 over the pod (msrp) but sounds much better. Not to happy about lack of some affects, but I think this unit will help me focus more on how I play the guitar rather than what I play.

Desirability:
It depends are you a tone guy or a effects/gadjets guy. I seem to be a rare inbetween one..or I gusse i did buy the Tone Lab Not the Pod xt.

Sound:
Sounds great through my tube amp. I've never played with a proccesor that sounded like this. Even up to my old chameleon with mos valve tube amp, this thing sounds great. If your on the boarder of getting rid of all your peddals this would be something to look at first.

Ease of Use:
I plugged it in and ended up jammin strait for an hour and a half with my keyboard player. I think the learning curve is steep in the begining slows down then picks up again once you sleep with the manual.

Support:
websites okay. Haven't had to call in.

Overall:
I think I might have to buy some external peddals to go with this unit. I think If you are realy focused on your tone and don't need to much crazy stuff going on this is perfect for you. It seems that instrument producers like vox and the Line 6 would benifit from combining the strengh of thies two products.

Feature:
It has great features - the floorboard and contruction is absolutely killer. I'd wish this unit had a better noise gate and a way to change your effects routing (move chorus before and after pedal box, etc.). There are some serious shortfalls - if you select compressor you can not use a distortion stomp box and vice versa.

Quality:
Built very solid. I will feel very confident to take this on the road.

Value:
I believe that the price of this unit is steep. If you're into any other style but metal this unit will do a great job both on the road and in the studio. Considering the quality of the casing and the pedal built the unit has a decent value but it is quite pricey considering that Vox offers the same processor brain inside a 60watt amp for the same money.

Desirability:
Great design, the floorboard is wonderfully designed with the working musician in mind. The color is also very nice and the Vox chrome accents add to the sex appeal.

Sound:
This unit has a very live, tube-like, or open sound to it. On clean and half distorted sounds it excels, especially nailing these british Vox sounds. For metal the distortion is not realistic - the high gain settings just don't deliver. The tone controls (EQ) is very unresponsive - you move it a lot and little changes. The cab simulator does a great job in that aspect (works move as eq than the unit's real eq). What I really hated about this processor is the fact that when you disengage the cab simulator the sound turns to junk - I tried it on a pretty neutral power amp/speaker combination and the sound turned into a brittle mud which no amount from the unresponsive eq could save. It is such a shame since the pedal board is laid out very well, yet at the same time as live unit I don't see it deliver, especially when you want a high gain american (Mesa) or british (Marshall) stack sound. On the other hand the chorus, delay and reverb are really impressive.

Support:
Don't really know much about support since I don't own other Vox products.

Overall:
Actually I am returning the unit because of the lack of a good not so noisy high gain sound. The eq and only one "stomp box" effect at a time are a few things that I am not willing to live by. Vox makes these processors packaged into the Vox Valvetronix amps and the 60watt version is the same price as this unit plus $150 extra for the controller so I'd rather be getting the combo amp where the cab and power amp is voiced properly for this processor.

Sound:
After trying them all, this one blows the rest away. Doesn't have as many amps or effects (do you really need them?) as others, and probably isn't the best unit for metal mavens (none of them are - get a Rat pedal and a M*** - u pick - stack), but for closest to the original sounds, this is the one.
