sk8 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Got one today. A Christmas Eve purchase! Looking forward to seeing what it can do. Any tips or tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Great pedal I enjoy mine most in the lower drive settings, less is more for me with this pedal, I use Darkglass pedals for the heavier drive and it works brilliant with these. The bite switch very much off with a little treble boost instead, and speaker emulation on, sounds great for recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Start with the example settings in the manual and tweak from there. Run it directly into the FX RETURN on your amp, leaving the amp preamp section out of the signal path. It's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I started off on mine with everything at midday, bite and speaker sim selected. I then just tweaked from there to get a twangy driven SVT style sound, so had character at 9 o`clock, treble and mids at 3 o`clock, and gain at around 1 o`clock. Really gnarly old punk sound. When I was depping I reverted to everything at midday and that was a good warm solid sound that fitted well with a variety or soft-rock songs.

fretmeister Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I like the B 15 settings best, thick and rounded. Superb for Motown stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I do Like a B15 type sound and have been after a motown vibe so will check that out. I remember mightily enjoying the SVT setting on my v1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbowskill Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was the total opposite...... Thought the bddi was pump without the mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The VT DI is only £158 with free delivery on Thomann at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1425226098' post='2705260'] The VT DI is only £158 with free delivery on Thomann at the mo. [/quote] Got to be just a bit careful with Thomann prices. They don't bill you in GBP but in Euro, and the GBP price shown is indicative only. Once you factor in your banks exchange rate and the currency conversion fee it can mean a difference of around £10-12 on a £200 purchase. They're still good prices (especially now given the current Euro rate) but don't rely on their GBP conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've been buying with the Amazon system and the most I've had added is £2 so I'm quite happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You can now pay via your Amazon account. The seller has to be set up for it but I'm seeing it in more places. It's really just using Amazon rather than paypal.
