Blending Sansamp / dirt in parallel with compression

One thing to keep in mind with the VT Bass or any of our SansAmp products. They are amp emulators and can obtain output type tube/valve distortion "independent" of volume. If you're running the VT with a lot of distortion to get the equivalent sound out of a vintage SVT and 810's you would be extremely loud and would automatically adjust your playing to the volume level. If you took the same SVT stack and put it in isolation and could only hear it through headphones or studio monitors the actual amp would seem overly compressed.

To get the best results with our products we recommend starting with a cleaner sound at gig level and judiciously add Drive. If you use the same amount of Drive level that you use at home it will probably be too much and overly saturated at gig level when competing with drums and guitar amps.
