Marky Screen Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) PRICE DROP: £305 INC UK POSTAGE Very versatile bass head. In great condition. Only thing of note is the push button plastic grey cap has come off the pad switch. This doesn't affect use and is just cosmetic. Price includes mainland UK postage or knock off a £10 if you wanna collect from my studio in Forest Hill SE23. Pic and blurb below: Here's what Tech21 say; The VT Bass 500 is a 500-Watt bass amp head, with an all-analog SansAmp™ pre-amp and Class D power amp. It is formulated with the same proprietary technology as our SansAmp Character Series VT Bass DI pedal. The unique Character control sweeps through decades of some of the most distinctive bass amp tones on the planet. Drive adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output of a tube amp is being pushed. A Blend control allows you to blend the direct instrument signal with the SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry. The Bite switch activates a presence boost, which tightens up the sound when you are in distorted settings. It also adds definition to your notes when playing in cleaner settings. FEATURES • 500 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms / 300 Watts RMS @ 8 Ohms • All-analog SansAmp Pre-Amp • Class D power amp • Continuously-variable Character control • Drive control for gain • Blend control to mix in direct signal • Bite switch for a presence boost • Active tone controls, cut or boost 18dB, with switchable mid frequency (500Hz-1kHz) • Balanced XLR direct output with -20dB pad and ground lift switch • Effect Loop with bypass switch to double as a mute • -12dB input pad • Dedicated headphone output • Worldwide power supply • Thermal speed control fan • Neutrik Speakon® outputs • Measures: 10.5”w x 2.75”h x 8.5”d • Weight: 6.5 lbs.

asingardenof Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I always wondered with these if the preamp in these units shouldn't be renamed "AvecAmp" and not SansAmp... GLWTS! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
