For your information the treble booster in the Vox Tonelab LE is modelled on a Vox VBM 1 which is an amplifier Vox made back in 2003 to emulate the Deacy amp and treble boost sound that one Brian May had. Strange old world ani't it ! I think Brian May originally used the same treble Booster as Rory Gallagher who he got the idea off when he saw Rory in concert once and asked aboout his sound and they both used the Dallas Rangemaster to my knowledge but I do not believe there is a tone control on those which is the important bit here and some people had them modded to boost the mids . So there you go maybe they were all trying to copy HBM's early recorded sounds in a sense
