VT Bass Deluxe

[PauBass]

I'm quite happy with my VT pedal and I'm considering going for the Deluxe version because of the Presets and XLR output.

Any experiences anyone wih the VT Bass Deluxe?
What are your thoughts?

I used to have the bass driver deluxe, and although I wasn't amazingly keen on the sound (recording with it was great, but for live use it chomped mids), it was simple to use, very intuitive, and a really useful bit of kit for 2 bass gigs.

They sound awesome from the youtube clips I've seen, I have the standard BDDI deluxe and use the preset function a lot although I agree with the mid loss probblem. The VT would be my next step if they were cheaper.

Sansamp stuff generally has a good rep, try one out and let us know what you think!

We have the VT Bass Deluxe in stock. Sound wise it's the same as the standard VT Bass. So you simply need to decide whether the presets, XLR, effects loop, dual inputs and parallel out are worth the upgrade.

I've just got one of these although I'm still "testing" it.

If you're going to use the VT Bass for gigging then the Deluxe is a 6-trick pedal as opposed to the standard 1-trick pedal. If you like the sound of the standard VT Bass then you'll like the Deluxe version 6 times more!

The dual inputs are incredibly useful if you use more than one bass. I can't see that I'd ever use the XLR as I'd always use the one on my amp but it would come in handy if you have an amp failure as I did recently.

The only drawback is the price but it is definitely worth shopping around.

Thanks for the advice.
I like my VT bass a lot and all the presets seem like a very useful thing to have, different sounds and levels of dirtyness.
