Tech 21 VT 500 500w bass amp head, price drop £305 inc. UK postage £320 London

[Marky Screen]

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.

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.

I always wondered with these if the preamp in these units shouldn't be renamed "AvecAmp" and not SansAmp...

 

GLWTS!
