The ToneLab ST is designed to deliver the ultimate in tonal dexterity to the musician in any situation, from stage to studio and everywhere in between.
True 12AX7 tube circuitry
The Valvetronix series was developed with painstaking attention to detail. The valve circuitry features a real 12AX7 vacuum tube – along with other components – to cleanly mimic the interaction that occurs in a tube amplifier in a way no digital circuit can. This distinguishes the ToneLab ST from other manufacturer’s modeling units. This fundamental difference is the basis for the awesome sonic power available in the ToneLab ST that no other multi-effect unit can obtain.
Sophisticated top-to-bottom modeling technology
Through the years, a handful of guitar amps have provided the inspiration and created the driving force behind the greatest guitar performances in history. ToneLab ST is equipped with thirty-three spot-on amp simulations, including vintage amps, coveted boutique amps, the latest high-gain amps, and entirely new amp models designed by VOX. But the ToneLab ST goes even further, adding eleven classic cabinet configurations that can be mixed and matched with any amp model. That’s 363 amp and cabinet combinations available instantly!
Multiple effects add a custom touch
A single ToneLab ST program contains amp, cabinet, pedal and modulation effect settings – even noise reduction options – providing enormous freedom and versatility for creating your own sounds. There are fifty preset programs for immediate use, covering a broad range of styles and playing styles. The preset programs include twenty song programs, able to instantly reproduce the familiar sounds of those great guitar songs that everyone will recognize. This way, you can enjoy the versatile sounds of the ToneLab SE right away – before you even consider creating your own programs. But when you’re ready, the ToneLab ST can hold fifty of your custom edited programs. Together with the preset programs, this gives you a total of one hundred programs, available on demand.
One hundred programs, including twenty song presets
The amp, cabinet, and effect settings can be saved into 120 programs locations. There are also 40 preset programs that contain classic settings for each amp model.
Unlimited expressive pedal power
The ToneLab ST provides an expression pedal that lets you control various tone shaping effects and parameters as you play. In addition to volume and wah, you can use the pedal to control realtime effect parameters – amplifier gain, tremolo speed, flanger depth, etc – providing a dramatic leap in expressive potential. The “Quick Assign” function lets you assign any effect parameter on the fly. By specifying the range of control, you can quickly create highly original performance settings.
Excellent audio integration with your computer
ToneLab ST is a complete ASIO-compatible USB audio interface. With a single USB connection, the ToneLab ST will conveniently interface with your computer DAW or sequencing software. ToneLab ST delivers the signal to your computer digitally, with no degradation in sound, for flawless recordings. Librarian software (Windows/Mac) for managing ToneLab ST programs will be available as a free download , and allows the easy exchange of data between users.
Versatile support functions
An auto-chromatic tuner featuring great visibility is built right in. Mute and bypass functions allow you to tune unnoticed while on stage. The ToneLab ST’s powerful Amp/Line switch lets you instantly apply the appropriate compensation for a guitar amp, power amp or direct recording connection, so you can take full advantage of its full sonic potential in any situation. There's also an AUX IN jack so you can play along with the sound of your favorite band in nearly any format. Compact in size, the on-the-go ToneLab ST is big on features and huge on tone!

In the pantheon of guitar gods, few have reached the lofty heights that Jeff Beck has.
One of the holy trinity of Brit-rock guitar royalty (the others being his friends and fellow Yardbirds alumni Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page), Beck has mesmerized listeners worldwide for four decades now with his distinctive phrasing and mastery of the electric guitar. In his legendary hands, the instrument becomes something else—something wild, wailing, plaintive and otherworldly. It’s as if he puts something in the notes …
Most of us first met him in 1965—the slender, intense Yardbirds guitarist who cradled his Blonde ’54 Fender Esquire like a machine gun; spitting out devastating staccato bursts of notes and wringing out fluidly blues-wailing runs and solos with a psychedelic bent that left breathless listeners with no doubt that something special had arrived on the scene.
What an instrument, that guitar. Beck bought it secondhand for $60 from Walker Brothers guitarist John Maus, who had given it the distinctive Stratocaster® body contours. Beck made a few modifications of his own, including replacing the steel bridge saddles with brass ones. It’s the guitar countless kids saw on the cover of 1965’s Having a Rave Up and heard on classic songs such as “Heart Full of Soul,” “I’m Not Talking,” “I’m a Man,” “Shapes of Things,” “Evil Hearted You,” “Smokestack Lightning” and many more. Many years later, Beck gave the famous guitar to a dear friend, famed pickup “artist” Seymour Duncan.
It is this battered, battle-hardened and truly unique guitar that the Fender Custom Shop craftsmen have recreated in reverently painstaking detail to the point where Beck himself was very nearly fooled when it arrived at his doorstep.
“I thought it was the original one,” Beck said. “It’s spooky. Until I opened the lid, it didn’t really hit me. I thought, ‘Oh, this is my original guitar back!’”
The Fender Custom Shop Tribute Series Jeff Beck Esquire features an extremely lightweight two-piece offset ash body with the same contours and a chipped black pickguard. The extremely worn finish has been perfectly reproduced down to the smallest ding, nick and scratch. The neck is similar to the 10/56 neck shape, with nicely rolled edges and wear that are identical to the original. Parts and hardware are faithful recreations, right down to the brass bridge saddles. The control wiring is authentically “cloned,” and the lone Esquire pickup was carefully recreated from the original specs by legendary Fender pickup winder Abigail Ybarra.
“As a kid in New Jersey, I grew up a major fan of Jeff’s and the Yardbirds,” Duncan said. “I used to stare at the Rave Up album cover and wonder what it would be like to see Jeff’s Esquire or, better yet, to hold it. The fact that the same guitar was given to me by Jeff years later is one of the highlights of my life. I worked with the Fender Custom Shop to spec out all the details of the original, and it’s amazing how faithful their replica is.”
