When Vox determined that the circuitry from the original Tonelab tabletop multi-effects processor could be installed inside the VC12, the second generation Tonelab, the Tonelab SE, was born.
The Tonelab SE was optimized for live performance. It ditched the digital S/PDIF connector used for recording purposes while keeping a pair of ¼" analog stereo outputs. The Tonelab SE also increased the number of effects available from 22 in the standard Tonelab to 50 in the SE.
