Dear Tonelab LE users.
I am new to this machine, and new to this forum.
Just upacked the TLLE a few days ago. As I live in Mexico, I got it via eBay USA, after reading tons of reviews and posts, including on tonelab.net.
Main use: as sound generator between my workhorese guitar (a US Fender Stratocaster) and a Marshall Jubilee tube amp.
I must say that the potential seems great, put first hand experience playing around with the LE was mixed.
In particular, I have been unable to get an "acoustic sim" sound that is anywhere close to the demo videos and sound samples available on the net.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem and found a solution?
In real life, I would use that sound for one song I do in my current band "Give a little bit" (here you can see the song played live, but there I use a 15-year old SONY GR-5 sound processor that has served its purpose, has no acoustic sim setting, and which I plan to replace with the TLLE once I figured out to make good use of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7uNitgReE4 )
thanks for any advice or posting of patches....
The demo's that you are

Since you are running into an amp, I doubt that you'll be able to get a really good acoustic simulation. Have you thought about putting in a piezo bridge on your strat and running that direct to the PA? I have a Godin xtSA and use this option when I play live. I run both channels into a balance/volume pedal and can instantly switch bewteen the two by pressing down or pulling back on the pedal. Just a thought.

I want to keep all as low-tech as possible.
and hope to use the TLLE to have less cables/pedals/stompboxes etc..
and for the two or three songs for I would have a closer acoustic sound, it is probably not worth it.
I managed OK by adding some chorus/flange to the elecric guitar or using a built-in patch from the SONY machine that I have used so far and can probably get a similar tone out of the TLLE, just not one that is halfways "acoustic" sounding.
The three songs, btw, are "give a little bit" "looking back" and "if I could - change the world" (there are video clips of all of them with band on youtube/google)
