Sevendust guitarist John Connelly: VOX ToneLab Guitar Amp Delivers
Sevendust have had a high-impact role in bringing about the resurgence of metal, with their hard-edged melodies and soulful delivery. The band’s most recent album release, the unexpected yet intense acoustic offering, Southside Double-Wide, features many of their most resonant songs reworked acoustically. This new approach was facilitated by the VOX ToneLab Amp and Effect Modeler, which delivers VOX’s critically acclaimed Valvetronix modeling in a compact, desktop package designed for recording.
Sevendust guitarist John Connelly explains his appreciation of the warm, tube-enhanced sounds of ToneLab, “I’ve always used a tube amp and a solid state amp for my live stuff. Even when I record, I usually double up with a solid state amp against a tube amp. It’s very difficult to get good, clean sounds in your home studio with a product that doesn’t have any kind of tube in it. Clean stuff sounds better through a tube, and that was the first thing I noticed about the ToneLab.” He continues, “When I was going through the ToneLab, the sounds were absolutely amazing! Its clean sounds and that extra little bit of warmth were a pleasant surprise. The ToneLab’s acoustic simulator was a big help, too.”
Leading the pop-punk breakthrough is Simple Plan, who also employ VOX’s ToneLab for their energetic, driven sound. Featured on popular soundtracks including Scooby-Doo and New York Minute, Simple Plan is moving quickly to the musical forefront. Guitarist Jeff Stinco remarks, “I love the concept and the practical aspect of modeling technology, but I often find modeled tube amp sounds pretty harsh and cold. In the case of the ToneLab, I found the sounds were more realistic and more natural than anything else I’ve heard.” Stinco adds, “I'm demoing all my song ideas with the ToneLab right now. It sounds great, it’s quick and I can recall my sounds days later when I need to change parts of songs. It’s a great songwriting tool. It would also be great with a power amp as a very versatile rig.”
Genre twisting, masked rockers Slipknot fuse metal and rap elements in an attention-grabbing fashion that has taken the music scene by surprise. ToneLab has proven a useful tool for Slipknot’s guitarist Jim Root, who comments, “I like the layout of the ToneLab — everything is easy to get to, it’s simple to use and portable. I love the fact that it has a tube, and it sounds great for recording. I’ve used pretty much every amp model for different recording applications. You can go from a crystal clean to an overdriven tone very easily, and dial any of the effects into any amp model, making it real versatile. It’s cool looking too,” Root concludes.
