Five independent effect lanes. Each with its own EQ to control exactly where in the frequency spectrum that effect is applied.
Not just what happens to your sound — but precisely where it happens.
Less than half the price of a single FabFilter plug-in — and it replaces the five buses and five EQs you'd wire by hand.
Traditional FX chains apply effects to the full frequency range. ToneLab changes that. Each lane pairs an effect with its own EQ — so you decide which frequencies receive that effect and at what intensity.
Each lane has a pre-defined effect — Chorus, Distortion, Reverb, Delay, and Saturation. No menus, no routing. Each effect lives in its own lane, always active.
Each lane has its own EQ interface. Use it to define exactly which frequencies that lane's effect acts on. Push reverb into the mids only. Saturate just the low end. Keep the highs clean.
All five lanes mix back into a single output. The result is a layered, frequency-aware sound design: the precision of surgical EQ with the character of your chosen effects.
ToneLab gives mix engineers, producers, and sound designers a level of frequency-specific FX control that previously required building a custom parallel routing chain from scratch.
A reverb on a full mix smears everything. A distortion on a vocal muddies the low mids. ToneLab's per-lane EQ means each effect only touches the frequencies you assign, keeping everything else exactly as it was.
Achieving this kind of control in a standard DAW means building a parallel send chain: five buses, five EQs, five effect plugins, five return faders. ToneLab collapses that entire workflow into a single insert.
All five lanes run simultaneously off your dry signal. Nothing is processed in series, so no lane degrades the next. Each effect contributes independently and your dry signal always remains intact underneath.
Built in JUCE for professional-grade performance. Works as a standard insert in Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, and any other DAW that supports VST3 or AU. No special setup required.
