Why aint there a DI/XLR on the VTBass - is there a mod?

[pnts]

I really like it but having a di/xlr-out would be a great mod! Im not a tech-wiz.. soo, anyone know of a mod or know why there isnt a mod?

The VT deluxe does have a DI, plus 3 presets.

Also there IS a mod for the standard VT. Putnam guitars do one: [url="http://putnamguitars.com/mods.htm"]http://putnamguitars.com/mods.htm[/url]

There's a thread on Talkbass about it but the pictures seem to have gone walkaboot: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/vt-bass-mod-w-pics-605642/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/vt-bass-mod-w-pics-605642/[/url]

Thx for the swift reply!

Cynically I am guessing the reason it doesn't have a DI/XLR is so it doesn't massively undermine the Sansamp franchise

I think the way to put a DI into it is the same as for any other pedal.

Does anybody do this mod in the UK?

Just checking you've seen [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189843-sansamp-vt-bass-v2-with-di-and-parallel-out-mod-l160/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189843-sansamp-vt-bass-v2-with-di-and-parallel-out-mod-l160/[/url]

Or you could just get a passive DI box and put it after the pedal...

Erm... Tech 21 make SansAmp's.

IIRC, the VT Bass was released as a pared down/cheaper version of the Bass Driver DI. If you want the DI, get the Bass Driver.
