Quatschmacher

Been enjoying this album. Only became aware of her by accident when a CD I bought has one of her albums mistakenly printed on it as opposed to the one I bought.

Yes, the SV has more deep bass than the Fifteen, but that’s to be expected. The high switch on the SV allows for more clickiness of finger/pick attack of the string to come through, even with the treble knob rolled off. Obviously having the mid control on the SV gives you options that aren’t available on the Fifteen. Mine are hooked up in series but I’m not running one into the cab sim of the other, if that’s what you mean.

This is going to have to be my last new pedal for quite some time I think. Really need to get stuff sold but this is the sound I’ve been chasing for ages.

Like you, I’m mostly running these sounds clean (or with slight breakup when digging in). Yes, it is frustrating to hear most demos showing the harsher side of the SV because it’s very capable of some lovely clean tones. (I actually noticed the other day that Avishai Cohen was running his upright through an SVT-CL Heritage rig.) As mentioned above, the SV does have deeper and more prominent lows. The top end can also get much fizzier due to the high switch. And this is before using either of the cab sims. I thought getting the Fifteen would obviate my keeping the SV, but I do appreciate the extra low end heft it brings for certain sounds.

Colour me interested.

If you love both sounds, the answer is obviously to get both, otherwise you’d miss one. Much more deep bass available in the SV. They are different beasts.

Thanks for the kind offer. I’ll pass though as I’ve already spent ages comparing other stuff (which has been fun) and the Origin does the business. I think need to cool it a bit with pedal madness, get on with some playing and also crack on with FI4 update work.

Pretty sure it’s a keeper for me. My only complaint is that I didn’t get it at the same price as the other two BassRigs (which I bought used).🙂

Off the bat, the VT’s speaker emulation is that of the 8x10. A lot of the B15 character is from the ported, baffled 15” cab so I expect there’ll be quite a noticeable difference there. If you can turn the speaker emulation off and run through an external IR, that’ll likely get closer.

Thought so, hence my tagging you.
