In EX you have to tap dance two switches simultaneously, which is awkward, inaccurate and clumsy at a gig.

With SE and LE you can switch from preset to stomp box mode, and access tuner in any mode, all with a single footswitch.

In ST and EX only user slots are programmable whereas factory slots are not.

In DT, SE and LE every patch is fully programmable.

The older TL's have longer, professional heavy duty 9v DC psu's with thick cabling and switchable robust transformers.

The ST and EX have lightweight 12v DC psu's that are light, compact and cheap to replace, but the lead is too short and it's so thin it breaks/kinks too easily.

Both ST & EX have very limited external connectivity with no midi and no editing software (just a basic library store) whereas DT, SE and LE all have full proper editing software via MIDI.

Although there are 50 user slots in ST and double that in EX, neither ST nor EX offer patch naming facilities and unless you have a prolific memory you cant tell on stage which patch is which, or where it is.

The two button ST has very limited functionality with no stomp box facility, a poor tuner, and was never intended as a gigging unit.

Although EX is advertised as a gigging unit, it falls far short in many essential areas. The EX was what the ST was meant to have been although those somewhat tinny, pointless speakers in the EX was the idea of Korg, not Vox. The 2-button ST wasn't meant to be so basic - it was rushed out as a stop gap because Vox unwisely withdrew the LE with no replacement, and were losing ground as they were out of the mfx market for too long.

DT, LE and SE mix in DSP with analogue gain stages - ST and EX are more DSP focussed, again to reduce circuit design and cost.

ST and EX have way less processing power, again to save on cost.

The valvereactor circuit has been simplified and 'dumbed down' to save cost.

To my ears they lack the fuller, bigger, punchier and more valvelike warmth that made the originals such a hit with guitarists. Tonally although they do sound quite good to be fair with a brighter EQ floor, IMO they are more digital sounding and 'processed'. Although they have the merits of being much smaller and lighter than the SE and LE, they are made to a budget and are aimed more at the amateur/home player market.

Some of the newer effects are quite nice sounding and the EX offers 2 pedal sections for greater flexibility including a nice exciter effect.Д«ut in terms of professional utility and pure gigability they are toys by comparison to LE and SE.

On paper ST & EX have more up to date modelling and offer 33 amp models instead of 16, but too many of those 33 amp models sound so similar that they are simply not worth having. For example, there are far fewer delay & reverb options, and even to those you don't have access to the refined parameters for delay and reverb found in DT, LE & SE which means you can't accurately set delay and reverb timings etc.

Modelling in ST and EX is largely identical, but EX has extra effects/features including stomp box mode.Д«ut the key difference between the original trio and the newer ST and EX is that the newer Tonelabs have nowhere near the build quality, range of functionality or parameter control.

The SE has a second expression pedal and A/B channel switching that the LE does not have, and the LE has cab options in menu instead of an easy access additional dial on the SE.

The LE has 5 global EQ options compared to only 2 in the DT and SE.

SE & DT use similar amp/effect model names, LE uses some different labelling descriptors but amp models and effect options are essentially the same, just a different name.

Also, LE does have a couple of different delays (slap, & two-tap) and a multi-tap chorus. For example the LE compressor does not have the 'attack' parameter that the DT and SE have.

The modelling and effects in the originals (DT, SE, LE) is largely the same although there are some feature differences and one or two slight parameter differences.

You really need to look at the manuals and controls etc in detail for fuller info on each unit, but here's an overview that I hope is helpful.
