BigBeatNut Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Interested in the VT1. Trouble is, it's by reputation only, don't honestly know much about them beyond "warm" and "valve". So a couple of Q's: 1) What does the 'colour' knob do ? Sounds like tone-shaping, but what, treble roll-off ? 2) Does it do warm and clean(ish) ? I'm really not looking for distortion, but I've read the 2-knob VT1 does a great 'clean and valvey'. 3) I've got a feeling this needs a 12V power supply, if so, are you selling one with it ? Thanks, Andy

Thanks, Andy[/quote] Hi Andy, yes it does "cleanish" really well. I have mostly used it a pre amp for recording in my studio to add a bit warmth and ummmph to the tone. it's a fabulous od/dist too, and I really rate it, especially for active basses like my 'Wicks. I love it as it really feels like playing through a propare all valve amp......you can easily control your tone and the growl by your fingers. No power supply I'm afraid, but Maplin's got loads...
