just been looking at this bit of kit....some great functions.the musicman and ricki syms sound great...but i know i would never use this to it's full potential. what i'm wondering is why roland don't do a stomp style box with these syms onboard....

Have a look at the older VBass which is a floor-based box.

cheers fella...i was thinking more about a single pedal that just did the musicman sound and a seperate pedal for the ricki sound..rather than all the other guff i will never wanna use....just think they would sell a ton of em!

I've just requested one of these at work, I expect I'll have to wait a couple of months. Looking forward to it though. Will post a video when I get it.

I thought line6 and behringer (V-Bass) and Zoom did small effects boxes for amp and bass modelling - I know these aren't single effect stomp-boxes but worth a look.

The thing with the Vbass and the VB99 is that the processing is much more complex than a typical modeller, in as much as it individually processes each string through a dedicated pickup/preamp system. That's the expensive bit, so making individual pedals with only a few things in them would actually be really expensive and counter productive. Good idea though.

I should be getting a VB99 soon to review but I am an avid Vbasser. Going to the studio with it in a couple of weeks so will get some decent recordings and a video up too.
