    The new VOX Tonelab LE - anyone?

    Hi, Has anyone here bought or played one of these new babies yet? I can't find any around here, they're always out and/or back order. How different is it from the Tonelab LE? Do you use it for home recording and gigs? Does it sound really warm or digital? Thanks, Benny :mslim
