discreet Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 [b]Tech-21 VT Bass 1U Rack![/b] New for 2013... I loved the VT Bass pedal, but I much prefer not to have separate boxes plugged in and to keep everything racked up for convenience. And there's 1U of space left in my rack just waiting for this! [url="http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/vtbassrack.html"]http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/vtbassrack.html[/url] GAK are doing them for £319. [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]"In addition to Drive, Character and active EQ controls, this single space format incorporates a Blend control to adjust the amount and balance of direct instrument signal with the SansAmp circuitry. There’s also an XLR Output Level control for optimum performance with PA systems. Other features include an Effect Loop with a Mix 50/50 switch (for parallel or series operation), an XLR output with selectable levels, and a buffered direct XLR output to provide a dry signal."[/color][/font][/size] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4][/size][/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Halfway to what i've always wanted, which is a MIDI controllable rack mounted VT Bass Deluxe. If i move back to a rack rig there'll be some series contemplation about whether to get one of these or not. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it on a few amps. I love a blend control with my effects but I hardly ever set it to 50/50. It seems to me they could put a blend knob on there just as easily as a switch, and it'd be much more useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There's a guy in the US who converts Tech 21 stomps into 1U rack units. He can add additional functionality too. Very good stuff apparently. In addition, yes, I'm gassing for one of these. Will probably dump the BDDI and upgrade to a 4U rack. Looking forward to this. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 From Tech 21 a couple of days ago... "If everything stays on schedule, we hope to be shipping VT Bass Rack units to our distributor in the UK at the end of this month". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it did look very interesting, the setup i have in mine doesn't use an amp at all, just preamp straight to the PA with no power amps or cabs involved, unless i need them.

Walker Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The same functionality as my VTB Deluxe (3 / 6 presets) + midi control in a 1u space would be perfect. But a 1u Ampeg tube pre with midi controllable digital presets would be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeid Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Wonder how this will compare to the RBI? I've got an RBI and I'm a little bit underwhelmed by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 It's a straight VT Bass in rack format, so it'll be as wonderful as the standard VTB hopefully! With a blend knob too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
