To help out new users of the Tonelab, and any user trying to put together new patches, I think it would be a good idea to start a thread, where those who would like to participate, could post the settings for their favorite amp models, their favorite pedals and favorite effects (modulation, delay and reverb). It could be a place to help users document what we have found to be the best amp models, pedal models, modulation, delay and reverbs on the Tonelab. All multi-effects boxes seem to be better at some things than others, and this is where we could find that information. I would be glad to put all of this together in a spreadsheet once it gets going and we have some input. Here is a sample:
Amp/Effect: Arena Reverb
Description: Large sounding reverb
Guitar used: (Tele, Strat, LP, Gretsch, etc.)
Music types used in: (50's and 60's, Surf)
Output setting: (Line/Amp)
Direct output to: (PA, FRFR speakers, JC-120 amp, etc)
Time: 7.3
Lo Damp: 3.5
Hi Damp: 3.0
Pre Delay: 23 ms
Mix: 4.3
Best with amp models: (UK 68P, VOX AC30TB)
Best with amp tones: (Clean, Crunch)
Best with other effects: (Slap Delay, Tremolo, etc.)
Patches using this effect/amp: (HALL LE default patch)
Not only would this show you how to set up the effect or amp manually, what the best way to use this amp or effect is, how you may need to tweak it depending upon your guitar type and/or output type, but you would see which patches in the database use this effect or amp, to help you find it and hear it quickly.
Would anyone else find this useful and would be willing to add this information to this post? Any suggestions in this regard would be appreciated.

But then I also think if you have a good patch to share just post it, not only will some people use it maybe but it will be saved into the master database.

Then I just settle down & spend time trying new amp/cab models with new configurations.
Chico has said it best " its all in your feel and style"
or something like that.
