Anyone used one? They rave about it on harmony central and I just happened to find one...
You can see the ad here in swedish, but the picture is enough to understand my fear for a fatal g.a.s attack...

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

Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clements...
I had one. You could have bought mine. I took it to Canada when I moved. I got a power converter thingy but it was so much stuff to haul, and I couldn't get that bluesy tube tone I now have through with my cheap Vox.
Good preamp, but too much 80s sounding for me. I don't "believe" in the preamp+power amp solution - good combos or heads usually sound better to my ears.
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Well I guess I got some mesa/boogie fever.. If you think that the Vox ADxx/tonelab sounds better than the studio preamp then I will be better of without one.

Yeah the ´lab sounds amazing, but I am considering getting a preamp of some kind to further expand the tonal possibilites...
