Tech 21 CS-VTB-DI SansAmp Character Series VT Bass DI Guitar Amplifier

The Tech 21 SansAmp VT Bass DI pedal gives bassists a great tool for getting different amp voicings, as well as a unique direct-to-PA and recording tool. You can dial in the characteristics of amps using the six effective controls (Level, Mid, Character, Drive, Low, and High knobs) onboard the VT Bass DI. More than simple stompboxes; you can use them as preamps or take advantage of built-in speaker emulation (designed to sound like 10" bass amp-style speakers) for quiet, hassle-free recording. Get a diverse range of warm, fat bass tones to distorted tones with the VT Bass DI pedal

Get vintage Ampeg-style bass amp tones without hauling a huge rig to your gig with Tech 21's VT Bass DI Pedal. The VT Bass DI is part of Tech 21's Character series of pedals which emulate famous tones from vintage and modern gear. Using the "Character" knob on the front panel of the VT Bass DI evokes simulated Ampeg-style tones which combine with the drive and EQ sections to create a convincing palette of clean and distorted sounds, from a classic flip-top combo to a massive SVT. For additional realism, speaker cabinet simulation can be switched in; great for going direct to a live mixing board or studio recording console. The VT Bass DI is tuned to match the smooth sound of a cabinet loaded with 10" American-style bass speakers with multiple mics. Use the EQ controls to shape the sound you desire.
Having multiple outputs allows for mixing and matching signal chain options. For example, on a live stage, you can send a balanced DI signal to the mixing board or a recording console while using the low-Z or parallel 1/4" outputs to route the signal back to your amp for real-time monitoring. Low-Z outputs can drive long cable lengths without signal deterioration, ensuring your bass signal arrives without attenuated high frequencies or excess noise.When engaged, Bite activates a presence boost and subsonic filter which tightens up the sound in distorted settings and adds definition to your notes when playing in clean settings.The VT Bass DI is tuned to match 10" American-style bass speakers. It is designed for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multi-miked cabinet, without the peaks, valleys, and notches associated with single-miking techniques. The speaker simulation works in tandem with the EQ controls to custom tailor the overall sound. If desired, the speaker simulation can be defeated by disengaging the speaker switch on the front panel
