VOX ToneLab Patch Exchange

Hi guys (and gals?)
I have been getting great benefit out of this site and so I felt it time to give something back.
So... for what its worth...Here's a patch I made called WIRED.

I use it on 'Line out' setting direct to a PA mixer and I am playing on an Ibanez SA60 QM mainly using the neck pick-up and the midway selection between neck and middle (both single-coiled pickups).

I recorded the sound clips using an i-griffin into 'Garageband' on my mac (sorry for the clipping on 'wired-a').

I use the patch to play:
1. funky stuff (activated when 'pedal-one' is in the 'up' position)
and also to play
2. slow reverby-tremelo-type bass lines on the low strings (activated
when fully depressing 'pedal-one' down).
plus
3. spacy looped reverse rhythms.
Does that make sense?

I created a couple of sound files/MP3s to give you an idea. They are one-offs I made in the early hours of last night.

The first MP3 (WIRED-A) has the 'funky' sound first, followed by the 'wet-tremolo' effect second, and then thirdly a combination of the two being used together, and then finally the 'reverse-looping' option last.

The other sound file (WIRED33a) starts off showing what happens when you depress the control foot-switch.
I made this 'WIRED' patch with the option to play a reversed loop of what I play so that I can create spacy-trippy rhythms which I can then play melodies over. To use that you stomp on the tap 'control' once to start and then again to finish the time delay and then fully depressing pedal one you are 'recording' what you want repeated. You can create quite different moody sounds depending on how long the 'loop' is and how much/how often you re-record/perpetuate new loops.
Its hard to describe but easy to do and hopefully by listening to the file it will become clearer.

When you activate the 'control' foot-switch and set a tapped delay the sound is being recorded to that length of delay/loop when the 'pedal one' is in down position. When you put the pedal in up position what you then play is not being looped.

So the MP3 called 'wired33a' has just the guitar patch on its own to show how it starts and then after a few bars I have added some percussion, bass and a joke vocal (addedd last - so thats why it doesn't fit with the guitar :-0) to show what could be done with the patch/sound.

The great thing about the TLSE is that by stomping on FX ON/OFF you can then add a pedal to the patch at any time. So once you have a nice rhythmic loop going you can take up the 'pedal one' so that the loop repeats without any new notes being added, and then put on some 'fuzz' or 'treble boost' or whatever for a searing lead guitar sound over the top of a clean spacy rhythm loop. Then after a while you need to tap off the 'treble boost' or whatever and then put 'pedal-one' to down position to re-continue the repeating reverse rhythm part. It runs out after a while y'see. I have never worked out how to get a loop to repeat indefinitely with the TLSE. I don't think it can do it).
I have given an example of what I have attempted to describe here. You here the buzz of the single coil pups when I tap on the 'comp' pedal, as I'm too close to my computer. Its right at that end of the second MP3 file (4.43). Just for a few seconds. Then you hear me stomping on the patch 'Wired' again (4.45) to turn off the reverse looping and go back to the two original 'funky' and 'wet-tremelo' effect/sounds.

P.S. I have added a third much shorter/smaller MP3 file for those with no broadband connection. (WIRED-1)
