Remember one thing, the tonelab uses a valve, thus it will give you a warm sound, but valves go from time to time so it will not be as reliable as another pedal ...
I'm not sure that this is quite accurate. I mean, IC's, transistors, capacitors and even resistors all go just as easily as valves. Valves if taken care of last for many years, so I'm not sure that this is something that you need to be to concerned with!
