[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1509660429' post='3400737'] Gave the Spitfire a blast tonight with my band. I'm impressed. Through my ABM600 with everything off using just the Spitfire Pre Amp as the control, tight, punchy with a bit of bite. It fit right in... well built and looks great too. Top job, thanks DHA [/quote] Thanks for the reviews. I have sent all the pre-order VT1-Pro-Bass and VT1-Spitfire-Bass pedals now. Just checking that you have all received okay?

The second batch of BC VT1’s will be posted tomorrow so that completes the pre-orders Many thanks to all, hope you all like them Dave

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1508934518' post='3395456'] Mine arrived today! Yay! Will have a good play tonight! Cheers Si [/quote]

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1508922058' post='3395300'] Out of interest, what is the difference between the bass and guitar version? And I'll definitely post my thoughts here when I've had a play. [/quote] If anyone plays guitar as well as bass then I recommend the bass version as it works very well for guitar if the bright is switched on and the treble and mid EQ pots are set a bit higher than normal. The guitar version is okay for bass but lacks a bit of low end and is a bit toppy. I play guitar but tend to use bass versions of my pedals when gigging as I like the low end thump

There are a couple of Spitfire bass versions ordered as well. Doing these now so won’t be long Here is a link to the guitar version so you can see what it looks like http://www.musicinstrumentnews.co.uk/2017/10/25/dhas-spitfire-ready-take-off/

Nice one, looking forward to comments and reviews.

first, will post tomorrow

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1508495421' post='3392553'] I think OP meant a di with a valve pre built in? I've pre-orderd the DHA (pun intended =p). Hoping it will replace my ms60b and fender microDI. [/quote] Just so everyone is clear. My valve pedals with DI have a clean solid-state Di design that does not colour the sound but provides a balanced DI signal for the desk, etc. The Di is always on so if the pedal is in by-pass then the Di will only send the by-passed signal. When the pedal is not in by-pass i.e. the valve circuit is on then the Di will send a valve coloured signal. Same for the headphones on the pedals that have that option.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1482508020' post='3201178'] Aguilar Tone Hammer. No actual tube, but is fat and warm and sounds better than some that do have a tube. It's even been compared to the REDDI when set with the AGS on and gain set low. I've seen DB folks using them too. I wasn't a fan of the EBS Valvedrive, far preferred the DHA units (if you don't mind their amateurish look). I have a Le Bass too, but really only because the distortion sounds great. The clean channel has very limited eq (bass and treble boost only, no cut, no mids) so I wouldn't recommend it as a clean/warm preamp. [/quote] Check out the new VT1-Pro-Bass-Drive which is now screen printed

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1508344087' post='3391538'] Looking good Dave. [/quote] First batch done and will be posted in the next few days, second batch to follow next week.

I had a few red boxes screen printed along with the Purple ones (Purple will be the standard colour) just because I had a few in stock and there was a break point on cost with the printers. So if anyone wants a "limited addition" (3 off) red with white printing version then please let me know. Regards Dave

Thanks Sean, all sold now and many thanks to those that purchased. I am putting them together over the next couple of weeks and will be posting out in the order they where ordered in. The intention is to do more screen-printed versions of other models plus some new ones over the next few months. regards Dave

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1506823381' post='3381354'] Can't wait to get my hands on it!! Si [/quote] Some pic's.... [attachment=254796:IMG_1745.jpg] [attachment=254797:IMG_1746.jpg] [attachment=254798:IMG_1743.jpg] [attachment=254799:IMG_1744.jpg] Only one left now if anyone wants it?

Thanks, Looks a good site and I will contact once I have something to show. Talking of which, I will be putting the first batch together this weekend, pictures later

The boxes for the VT1-Pro-Bass are loaded with the printers and should be ready next week. So will be putting them together over the next two weeks. I am looking for other outlets such as shops, e-stores, distributors, etc both UK and overseas. If anyone is interested or knows anyone then I would welcome the introduction.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1505479610' post='3372237'] Done. I'd like the vt1pro please. [/quote] many thanks

[quote name='naxos10' timestamp='1505391870' post='3371566'] Dave, How would the Spitfire version look in the original plane's colours? [/quote] Si is correct, we will just use one colour or the price gets silly

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1505381430' post='3371429'] Are there any preorders left? [/quote] Yes, a few

[quote name='naxos10' timestamp='1505306206' post='3370891'] Hi Dave, Being in a buy British mode and with all the past exploits we are remembering this year (including my 60th birthday) it ticks the boxes for me Dave. (My dad will love it as he is ex RAF.) I would suggest this as a one off or special edition maybe though? [/quote] Been a mixed response to the new design so we will do both. The original VT1-Pro-Bass design will be made for those who want it and the new VT1-Spitfire which I was going to have guitar and bass versions of will just be marked without Bass or Guitar on the front so I can have one artwork. I will mark on the back bass or guitar and the box colour will be different, the electronics is different inside by the way. Dave

[/quote] Nice one, we are thinking there will be other models with hurricanes, typhoon, mosquito..... maybe even more modern ones as well..... lighting, tornado, vulcan, Eurofighter.... I am looking to press the button on the printing next week all being well. Dave

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1505300226' post='3370816'] With absolutely no disrespect to your hard work, I did prefer the previous artwork, but then I'm not a fan of union jack anything really. Is this definitely the final design? I wonder if the Spitfire badge/logo might look cool instead? Obviously not in my hands, just my opinion . Certainly is a fully featured pedal, still very very interested! Si [/quote] I should also say there will be a guard around the valve Dave

I am waiting to hear from the guys that pre-ordered if they are happy with the new design. I know you can't please everybody but we just wanted to get British made bit across as there are not that many of us. Dave
