The tube (12AX87) in the tonelab simulates different kinds of power amps (Class A / AB and so on). It really makes a difference and I can really recommend it.

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
Thanks all.
I just got the Zoom in & had a few minutes to play around with it. It's a little confusing to figure out, but you soon get the hang of it. I turned off everything but the amp models the eq and the extra eq. I tried the JC clean & the Fender Clean.
First impressions:
Negatives:
This ain't no valvetronix. If I had the dough, I'd get the Tonelab.
Positives:
I'm untethered from my amp!!!
It sounds good enough for what I need it for.
The drum machine.
Chromatic tuner
The 6 band eq
low mid high
low-mid presence harmonics
is very nice.
I'll have to spend some time putting it through its paces.
Best line from the the addendum to the manual:
"When you use guitar amp for recording patches, not only intended modeling sound will not existing but also you hear harsh-sounding sometimes. Please adjust guitar amp setting as above reference."
Also JC Clean is labeled as JC Crean.
Clearly I'm gonna have to give this pedal some time. I am liking the JC Clean a whole lot better the longer I play it.
Well now that 'splains alot. I was using the Zoom with headphones and the Extra EQ (low-mid presence harmonics) turned on. This turns off the cab emulation and puts it into "pedal in front of amp" mode! Back to the ol' listening board!
