I also use a Tonelab and prefer it over the rest, though the new Pod
does not suck. The LE is a floor unit w/ complete pedal control built in
and is a great buy IMHO, but I think you can also get the original box
unit like I have as well. I don't think there is any difference in sounds.
One caveat: the unit is not as robust as I think a professional piece
should be, and must be handled carefully. I have a bad output jack and
broken power switch on mine, neither of which prevent it from working. I
also have a problem with the LED readout, which is v/ dim and can barely
be read in direct sunlight. HOWEVER, considering all it does, at $400 it
is not priced like a professional piece, so I really can't complain too
much.

Hey Bill and Sarah,
I love my Tonelab too. It sounds great.
It has a broken power switch and
the leds that show preset choice won't light. It is still usable.
The two things that bug me most are the clunking
between patches and lack of decent compressors.
Outboard compression is an easy fix for that. The clunking
sound is so old school I'm used to it.
