Product no: 9000-0005-6592 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Tech 21 VT Bass DI produces the same, highly powerful SVT-style sounds as the VT Bass. Effortlessly switch from fat flip-top funk to raw indie rock sounds. A Character knob allows you to draw from a wide range of different timbres. Moreover, the VT Bass DI is equipped with XLR and parallel outputs, phantom power, two pad switches and a Bite knob, for a presence boost and subsonic filter. The Blend control allows you to adjust the balance between the dry signal and the SansAmp.

The Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series

Each of the Tech 21 Character Series pedals emulates the sound of a famous brand's (bass) guitar amplifier. Like a guitar amp, the stomp boxes are fitted with Level and Drive controls. Less traditional however is the wide range of sounds that their active tone controls offer. The most striking feature is the Character knob, which can steplessly go through the entire range of amplifier models, from vintage to high gain to screaming leads.

Wrote the following about Tech 21 VT Bass DI (SansAmp Character Series) stomp box

Fantastische preamp. Veelzijdig geluid. SVT, fliptop/portaflex, Fuzz herrie. Er is veel uit te halen, en geeft vooral je signaal een mooie warmere toon mee. Goed om via de XLR naar FOH te gaan of om gewoon de matige versterker in de oefenruimte wat lekkerder te laten klinken.

Fantastisch veel geluiden uit een doosje. De typische buizenoversturing vindt je hier.

Absoluut onmisbaar voor iedere bassist.

That got Tech 21 thinking: why not just build a complete bass amp head around one of these famous pedals? And that's exactly what they did! Allow us to introduce the VT Bass 500.
