ben604 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Couldn't see this posted anywhere else, but looks pretty exciting: http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/amps/bass/vt1000.html Quote
Ed_S Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Exciting is one word for it! Where do I sign up?! Quote
ben604 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Might be pricey... [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/tech-21-vt-1000-head/147374"]RRP is $2500 in the US...[/url] Edited February 16, 2012 by ben604 Quote
Ed_S Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 *sharp intake of breath* ...maybe I'll stick to my Sansamp RBI / Crown 1550W power amp setup until the price comes down a bit! Quote
icastle Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Nice simple design without piles of flashing lights and buttons that never get used - I'm half persuaded by the appearance alone! Nice to see a quantification of the power rating as well - [color=#ff0000][i][size=2]Measured using a -10dB 400Hz test signal with all amp controls flat, no Reverb or Boost.

Mr. Foxen Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Velcro a VT bass pedal to a Peavey IPR for the budget version. Quote
markstuk Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I sometimes run my Sansamp Programmable direct into a QSC PLX 2402... A bit more power and about the same weight.. :-) total cost £350... Edited February 16, 2012 by markstuk Quote
ben604 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 See what the price is when it's released. Might be a lot cheaper, and it's always nice to have things in one box! Not to mention that it might well be voiced slightly different? Quote
Bigwan Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 There's been a guy in the states making a micro amp from the VT bass pedal and B&O 500 watt icepower module for a few years now - can't remember his name. He resides over on the other site. Mods all the character series pedals with added XLR and speaker defeat option. Surprised it's taken Tech21 so long to catch up to be honest! As already noted this would need to be pretty cheap to compete with the VT bass deluxe/peavey ipr combination. Watched a vid on youtube the other day comparing the Tech21 VT 300 watt head with an ampeg SVT to show that the VT had more clean headroom than the SVT... think perhaps they were missing the point somewhat...

paul_5 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Should that not be "1000W power amp with built in Sansamp"? I've got roughly the same setup - BDDI into an Ampeg 1550. It did not cost $2500... Quote

[/quote] Rats, I was kind of hoping it was a beefy amp plumbed into a floor pedal. Of course, on reflection there would be no space. But it was exciting for a moment. Quote
