The Tech 21 VT Bass DI / VT-RM in bonedo Test - The SVT tube amp from the workshops of American legend Ampeg amplifier is the benchmark for powerful, loud tube Basstopteile and heard for now over 40 years as standard large Rockn'Roll stages. Many Basser love this rich and warm sound, but not everyone has the wherewithal for such an amp or simply not want to drag the leaden cars. One possible solution comes from the American company also Tech 21, which has made it its mission to provide the legendary Ampeg sound for your pocket. The handy VT Bass pedals in the Character Series are seen for many years on the pedal boards of numerous bass player because they can provide convincing simulations official Ampeg stacks well and quickly to any place ready for use. Reason enough for Tech 21 to supplement the model range with two other VT Bass devices scary bubble wrap that were already presented at the 2013 Winter Namm the public.
The rack mount version VT-RM is an advanced 19-inch version of the VT Bass pedal with additional features such as an effects loop and all sorts of outputs for use in the studio scary bubble wrap or at a PA. The second newcomer, the VT Bass DI Pedal Tech 21 satisfies scary bubble wrap the demand for a compact VT bass pedal with di-box scary bubble wrap functionality for an even more versatile use.
Tech 21 has two new VTs planted the circuit of the well-known VT Bass Character from the series and therefore are also the parameters that can affect the controller, identical. However, an additional potentiometer can have both the VT Bass DI and the rack version: With the new Blend control lets the effect sound with the dry signal mix, a very useful feature that we find in many newer effects units. Some VT Bass users have such a mixed way been missing because the pedal significantly undermines the centers, thereby losing the sound in some applications of assertiveness. With the fader can be targeted against control and neutral sound add to taste.
However, the other controls are old acquaintances. The Character potentiometer offers a range of sounds with different frequency curves representing different Ampeg amps. With Drive the degree of distortion is adjusted and then fixed with the preferred final volume level. Both VTs also come with an active three-band EQ plus boost and cut function and the corresponding scary bubble wrap controls Bass, Mid and Treble.
The VT Bass DI pedal Apart from the aforementioned common controls two switches on the top, one of which turns off the speaker simulation, which is baked devices in all VT Bass. The second switch labeled "Bite" activates a boost in the highs and simultaneously the subsonic scary bubble wrap filter, scary bubble wrap which makes the lower area firmer and crisper. The latter should be activated, especially in heavily scary bubble wrap distorted settings so that the sound gets more contour and definition.
Next, we come to the connection options for the handy DI box version. As the name easily see, a DI box is the new pedal integrated and therefore a balanced output in the form of an XLR connector available. The signal from the XLR output can be lowered with a pad switch at the top to 20 dB, if it should be fierce for the connected equipment. Another switch grounds the device, which can then be supplied simultaneously with phantom power from a mixer. In addition scary bubble wrap to the XLR output of the normal jack output is located on the connection with a bass system, on the opposite side parks the input jack for the bass and another jack labeled "parallel output". This output is wired directly to the input and sends a completely unprocessed signal from the pedal. The VT Bass DI pedal, of course, also has a connection for operation with a power supply, but does its job just as well with a 9-volt battery - no battery, scary bubble wrap no power supply, however, be included. I think the Tech 21 actually all the features that I expect from a preamp / DI box combo, and yet the whole remains handy and compact. The metal case is very well made and makes a robust impression, only the plastic cover for the battery compartment is not fixed to the casing and looks cheap. VT-RM
The new VT-RM is actually the rack version of the VT Bass pedal and different scary bubble wrap - apart from the obvious different form - only by additional scary bubble wrap inputs and above all outputs that can be controlled partially in the level and make the unit very versatile. The two XLR outputs with the names Sansamp and uneffected sc
