carlsim Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I'm looking for a preamp and like the DHA VT1 as it has a line in and headphone practice function, plus a swept mid control. Most people seem to be using it for vlave breakup - can it do a funkier clean sound? I play fingers and like a tight, more middy sound - just wanted to make sure before I spend! Quote
paul_5 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 It'll do anything you need it to - individual controls for input and gain mean that you can trade one off against the other - turn the input way up and drop the gain for clean sounds. You can also change the 12AX7 tube for a 12AU7 - that'll drop the amount of gain on tap - use the 'boost' knob to compensate for any signal loss earlier in the signal path. Quote
Lw. Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Mine actually takes a lot of gain before it pushes into the over-drive sound, mostly it's just an EQing pedal. I use it for both the over-drive & clean sounds it can produce; I even use it for "acoustic" sets too (DI into desk) where break-up is definitely not wanted! Quote
carlsim Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 Cool! Sounds exactly what am I after! Better get sourcing... Quote
