I just purchased a Tech 21 VT bass Di 2nd hand from eBay. Plugged it in last night and noticed some strange behavior on the blend knob.
I was hoping some of you who also have the pedal can help me sus out if I've bought a lemon.
1. Pedal on, drive at 9 0 clock, With all other at noon, except the blend knob which I turn fully counter clockwise, which should be removing the preamp circuit by my reckoning? My tone is audibly clipping. Badly!
Is my bass output too hot?
But as soon as I turn the blend up past 9 o clock (adding some preamp) it stops.
2. Again control at noon except the drive at maximum, and blend at minimum, I would expect to hear no drive. Yet it sounds like a wasp in a can over my normal tone.
I'm using a cort A5 custom into the VTDI into an Eden wt800/410
Thanks in advance
