tech 21 vt bass any opinions?

[dlmorley]

I'm looking for a decent straight to my desk bass option and have been thinking about the Tech 21 Bass DI
However this new box seems very interesting too ($150 in the states, $250 for us Europeans )
Any users?
Thx

Also interested. I went to my local Guitar Denter looking for one but they didn't have it.
Looks like everyone is backordered until July.

Tech 21 VT Bass - TalkBass Forums

That thread at talkbass has 43 pages of opinions on it, almost all of them good.

I think those Character Series Pedals truly rock!!!

(at least the vox, fender, ampeg pedals I heard)

I got the vox-ish (Liverpool) git-pedal and it´s great into the A/D and even better through my Daking Line-In + a touch of EQ!!

I think the VT-Pedal is equally cool on it´s own, but my GUESS (just thinking out loud)
that when tracked in parallel to a great clean DI (REDDI, eg.) and mixed together it would be killer and 50x more usefull than not so subtle EQing for a "bass tone"

I think it would be a great addition to the CreationAudioLabs MW-1 (in parallel too of course) for bass!

give a try and let us know what you think thumbsup

Thanks for the link Joey, I'll check that out!

the facts that its not digital and can be run as a DI turn me on!


Hi Tom,

greetz from Kölle (Agnesviertel) nach Kölle!

I've recently came to really be interested in the Reddi (listened to some shootouts... if that is a reference at all) instead of just going with a Sansamp.
Probably I'll have a go at the VT Pedal and the Reddi could follow later on...
...I hope

Hey Ciaccona!!

I´m actually not in kölle anymore, moved west to the dutch border,
but I´m still there once in a week mostly


simple, get one from musicstore...if you don´t like it, they´ll take it back for 31 days!!



When I first tried the VT pedal I actually was immediatly DAYDREAMING about racking up a nice custom 2RU version of a REDDI+VT pedal+parallel blend/mix knob...with nice big chicken head knobs, maybe an output meter.... fast and convenient, plug the bass-player in & hit record....

I think I should seek professional help.....

hey tom,

holländische Grenze? jaja...

I just got a vt one and all I can say is: it totally rocks.

it's got so many different usable tones it's amazing!

I already love it.

now I only gotta save some bucks for a REDDI.
