    I have one and I believe the SVT sound is Character knob all the way to the left!!

    With Sansamp products I like to keep the blend halfway. You still get the natural tone of your bass with the sweetness of the Sansamp emulation blended in. Try a half blend with bass and treble at noon, mid at 1, character and drive at 10 with the bite and speaker sim engaged. You get a great clean tone with some grit when you dig in.

    I love you Hening, but this is the worst review you've done. This DI sounds way better than what you presented, but I don't mind, keep up the good work.

      possibly... but that is the sound I got...

    I’ve got the VT Bass Character series version of this. Superb! Gives Bass more welly. Deepen bass, scoop or add mid and treble, alter the character of the Ampeg amp you are pretending to use. Slight movement of the Character knob will give noticeable teal differences. In addition there is a a Drive nob that will add subtle tubes warmth on up,to searing over drive. Also, has a Cab sim button to bring alive the D.I. sound and can also be used when running the pedal afore an amp.
    I shall be comparing this to a Two Notes LeBass and possibly running them together in front of my Ashdown 500 Rootmaster amp and Barefaced Supertein 2x12

    It seems like the level was hitting the input too hard for the entire demo. I'm sure you would have noticed it clipping though. Even the non-drive settings were distorted in my headphones. I love your other videos though...other than the other Sansamp bass di video, which sounded like it had the same issue.

    I like your bass better sound without the VT bass DI

    wish I could get the actual info preferably from Tech21 as to whether or not the drive knob adds any compression as I have heard on a few reviews..
    I am a comp player and I cannot really tell by ear?

    wow, that's a terrible pedal with that bass. Most active basses sound like crap with a preamp pedal IMO. Too many preamps fighting for their sound and everything turns to muddy, fizzy farts like the sound here. Id use passive basses to demo preamp pedals.

    • @Andyanddiana467
      @Andyanddiana467 Před 4 lety +1

      I find that when I use a preamp pedal, I use 1) a passive bass, and 2) run the out of the preamp pedal into the FX return/Power amp in of the amp. That way you get rid of the mud/stacked preamp problem.

    Please review the DarkGlass Microtubes B7K the same way you did this one. Preeeeeeetty please :)

    In general, I like tech 21 bass gear but I've yet to hear a review for the VT that sounds good to me.

      Hi, I know this is a late reply, but I just happened to upload a complete guide/review for this pedal, where I take a different approach compared to most...

  • @Bravohalo

    The only guitarist who should be allowed to review bass stuff. Sansamp distortion has always been the worst, though. It would have nice to hear some cleaner tones to show the devices real strength, the SVT emulation.

    Thankyou for your honesty that you showed that you didn't really rate it me neither

  • @terria8825
    @terria8825 Před 7 lety

    can you review that slo 100 behind you? I might trade my matchless dc30 for that particular amp.

  • @trunks828
    @trunks828 Před 7 lety

    I used this for awhile than found out about the rusty box and never looked back same price better sound just my opinion tho.

    I am between Tech21 VT Bass Di - EHX Battalion & TC Electronics Spectradrive and I don't know what to choose!! (That is my budget, that's why I don't think of Darkglass... :-(.... ) Anyone tried them? Make more bass pedal demos please!

  • @simonlees2848
    @simonlees2848 Před 7 lety +1

    I really want to try this in front of my two notes le bass so i can switch on a ampeg sound when i want it, i think the lebass will bring out a better tone in it.

    @nobbytart27 Před 4 lety +1

    Had heard good things about these but after watching this really can't see what the hype is all about, not really sure what you are getting for your £200

    This certainly sounds more pleasing than the bass driver by tech 21.

  • @DanielDiezCansecoM
    @DanielDiezCansecoM Před 7 lety

    Du solltest das Driver reduzieren und das Blend hoch lassen

    Funny the actual offering from Ampeg didn't impress but Tech 21's version got a pass

    I'm not a great fan of the sound that comes from the instrument. I think I don't like the humbuckers

    • @erlannderrantem6972
      @erlannderrantem6972 Před 7 lety +2

      Pedal didn't flash me either

    • @JimijaymesProductions
      @JimijaymesProductions Před 7 lety +2

      I never understand the appeal of 'modern' basses I have not heard a bass tone out of these kind of humbuckers that Ive ever liked and a lot of them fart out preamps and such with too much power. Give me a P or J Bass anyday.

    • @uzmeyer1752
      @uzmeyer1752 Před 7 lety +1

      I built fully switchable HBs into my semi-handbuilt bass (series/parallel/sc) just because I could and wanted to try. I found that depending on amp/pedal combo I prefer different settings. SC/parallel for more drive to get that high end through and series for clean. Neck in series is my fave, sounds kinda like a P but more Bass on the high strings. With a bit of bridge SC to get some high end and that's my current main sound. Still always have a J with me, it just always fits.
      What I would be really interested in is a P/HB combo, that Bridge J always sounds to throaty on its own for my taste

    50 percent of the video is a waste. not much information. please focus on the main subject.

    @ianvaughan9028 Před 7 lety

    The Sandberg sounds waaaaay better dry in my opinion, probably because I'm not a fan of overdriven bass. Great review of a "meh" product. :-)

  • @marike1100
    @marike1100 Před 7 lety

    Don't know about feature vs feature but the MXR M81 sounds WAY better than this. And it costs less.
