sk8 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Hi Dave I've currenlty got a LBM fuzz and TS808 Tubescreamer Clone and i'm favouring my OD more and more. I was wondering what you would recommend for me from your line of products. I'm obviously after an OD pedal but i would also like something to go to extremems if thats possible. I know it won't be a fuzz but i want something to go to distortion. What would you recommend? Quote
sk8 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 ARSE! somehow, put this in the wrong forum. Mods, can you move it please Quote

When channel 1 only is selected then it's a VT1 so giving valve clean to crunch tones. Or, a VT2-fatguts-bass is really a VT2-Dual-Bass but with channel 1+2 selected when on. Both VT1's and VT2's will overdrive but really only the VT2's will provide mega distortion as the VT1's stop somewhere around crunch. Dave Quote
sk8 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 so am i right in thinking that on clean i can use it to add some tube to my solid state amp? Sort of SVT like? Quote

umcoo Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'll add to this if you don't mind... Dave, what is the difference between a DHA VT2 Twin and a DHA VT2 Custom? Thanks Quote

A Dual is channel 1 or channel 1+2 plus by-pass. A Dual-Custom is the same as a Dual but with passive tone controls. Dave Quote
sk8 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 so could i say have channel 1 set for tube warmth fo rthe amp and use channel 2 to get my distortion? Quote

dorfmeister Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Does anyone know if the tubes run at high voltage? Quote
