Phil-osopher10 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Hey, I was looking into effects and i sort of want a pedal that can produce subtle valve overdriven sound right up to thhe dirty almost crunchy sound. Does DHA do such a thing? if so what should i go for? Also browny points for sound clips! Quote
munkonthehill Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 i bought one of these on a whim. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/119897-dha-vt1-di-drive/page__p__1134225__hl__dha__fromsearch__1#entry1134225"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/119897-dha-vt1-di-drive/page__p__1134225__hl__dha__fromsearch__1#entry1134225[/url] This pedal does everyting from slight tube warmth to all out Motorhead distortion and everywhere inbetween. Buy safe with DHA as his pedals rock. Quote
Phil-osopher10 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 What is the I/P pad about? Quote
RichF Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I/P pad = it varies impedance to allow for variation in hotness of input (from active/passive basses). Dave's pedals are great. Depends what you need - VT1 will give you the basic valve OD tone you are looking for. VT2 dual channel will allow a basic tone with a switchable second channel which can be right up to crazy distortion (not quite fuzz). Dave does variations on these (right up to rack mounted units). Check out his website. There are also reviews of a few of the models in the effects review section. sorry dont have clips of my VT2 dual channel (now sold, solely cause it is massive).

GarethFlatlands Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I've got the VT1 but not had chance to have a good play around with it. Seems like it needs a bit of tweaking and a good power supply to work noise free but I was very impressed when I tried it through my computer through an amp sim. So impressed, I pulled the trigger on a DI>EQ today to complete my simple pedalboard. Quote
paul_5 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 The Di/EQ is a superb bit of kit. I've just sold mine due to getting a VT2, but it was whisper quiet when going into Protools etc... really flexible EQ section too. Quote
GarethFlatlands Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 That's cool, my audio interface is a bit shaky with plugging stuff straight in so I'm hoping it will sort that as well as giving me a nice tone I can transfer between rigs. Quote
Phil-osopher10 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 I think i'll wait till one comes up on the for sale section as i am a cheap ass! missed one yesterday! I don't want a massive pedal though! Anyone selling? Quote
