The StompLab series of effect pedals are impressive new contenders that pack powerful sounds into compact and sophisticated looking metal bodies. Sound variations are categorized by style, such as rock, blues, and ballad, making it easy for even novice users to recall the desired sound. In addition to the StompLab IG's dedicated guitar modeling and the StompLab IB dedicated bass modeling, the lineup also includes the StompLab IIG and IIB which provide an expression pedal. With high-quality looks, plus its high quality sound, the StompLab series will be a great companion for the guitarist or bassist for years to come.

First check out the sounds!
Multi-effects units contain an incredibly diverse array of sounds that range from distorted to clean, and the sheer number of these sounds can be staggering. Although having a large number of sounds is a great advantage, it can also overwhelm the novice user, causing difficulty or confusion. The StompLab series is designed to be easily usable, even by novice players. Since each program is named with a musical style, such as rock, blues, or metal. You'll be able to find the perfect sound without being concerned with specific effect names. The musical styles are categorized into ten types, and cover everything from straight-ahead traditional styles to quirky, unusual sounds. There are ten variations for each category, so you're sure to find sounds you like.

Create your own original sounds!
Simply playing the preset sounds is a lot of fun, but you'll definitely want to create some of your own original sounds as well. The StompLab IG contains 103 types of modeling effects. These effects are categorized as pedal, amp, drive, cabinet, modulation, delay, and reverb effects. When noise reduction is included, you can use up to 8 of them simultaneously. Each effect type provides multiple parameters that you can deeply edit to create your perfect sound. Since the sound engine is equivalent to those featured on the worldwide best-selling VT+ series of modeling amps and the ToneLab series of multi-effect units, you need no further guarantee of quality. Sounds you create can be saved as 20 user programs.

It looks great!
The StompLab series was designed with great care, not only for its sounds, but also for its superb aesthetic. You'll never get tired of the cool metallic exterior. The pedal design is reminiscent of the vintage VOX wah pedals, which is sure to boost inspiration. One of the attractions of the StompLab series is the high-quality appearance, which is unheard of among other compact multi-effect units. It sounds excellent, it looks great and it's compact enough to fit into a gig bag, so you can take it along with you anywhere your music takes you, quickly and easily.

Packed with convenient functions including a tuner!
The StompLab series has a built-in chromatic tuner, so you won't need to provide one separately. The three-LED indicator makes tuning easy. For convenience on stage, there's a mute function that lets you tune without being heard by others. Headphones can also be connected, so you'll be able to play at home late into the night without disturbing anyone. Battery operation makes these units easily portable, letting you enjoy serious sound from your guitar or bass wherever you go.

I Love This thing

I bought this Vox StompLab for recording into my computer. It has very good sounds on the preset patches.I play through a solid state amp which I like, but doesn't have a good clean sound.So I decided to plug my Vox Stomplab into my amp, boy am I glad I did.My amp's clean sound now almost sounds like a tube amp. And the overdrive sounds are amazing.I created clean and crunch and overdrive sounds on my user patches on my Vox. The acoustic sounds are very good also. For the price, this thing is amazing, if I had known I could get these sounds, I would have paid twice as much. Very happy customer. If you are a beginner or pro, you will love this thing !

Verdict is still out on this thing

I am trying really hard to like this. With regards to the preset effects, some 9fnthe sound pretty good. But some of them, it's like they are non existent or pretty horrible sounding. The other issue is you are supposed to bypass the effects. But of you do, your volume reduces so significantly that I either have to turn up the volume on the amp, or disconnect this thing all together and connect directly to amp. The last issue is that creating your own defects is pretty hard to understand. The instructions are not very helpful and it is pretty hard to understand the abbreviations used on the box to figure out what effect you are working with. Oh btw, you have to hold the power button down for a couple of second for it to turn on. If you don't it will seem it is not working. So, this thing is not horrible, but the verdict is out as to whether it is something that will end up collecting dust in a corner

  • One major flaw

    So, I've been using this thing at our church for a few months. Have had lots of fun customizing my own effects. Really enables you to make your own custom sounds. It's taken me a while to understand how the whole system works. But once you learn the system it's really fun to produce your own sounds. However, there is one major flaw that has made me consider getting a different multi effects pedal. There have been several times this stomp box just freezes completely and won't operate at all. The sound completely dies and buttons won't function at all; not even the power button. I then have to disconnect the power cable completely or remove the back plate to access the batteries. This issue has happened both when powered solely by batteries and solely via power cable. Thankfully it hasn't happened while performing live; only while practicing.

    This is by far the worst thing i ever pedal i've ever purchased. Not recommended. every effect sounds the same, just screeches on a higher or lower level. it's like the sound of static & bad connection set as fx.

    Is this good for acoustic guitars as well as electric?  Also can this be used with other instruments such as ukes, mandolins, and autoharps (assuming they have pickups)?

    It won't sound ideal, but anything with a pickup can be plugged into this. It's designed for an electric guitar so the optimal input would be guitar, but it will work with pretty much everything with a pickup.
