LeftyJ Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Now that's something I'd like to give a try! I love the VT Bass pedal and DI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Looks great, compared to the case with guitars, there's a significant gap in the market for this type of combo for bass. I kinda like that they've used a Ric in the marketing also, given other threads on BC it's nice that they still get respect in some quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Looks good, wonder if they'll do a VT500 combo? In other news, Ashdown are doing the OriginAl head in 2 different combo's as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 While I have much love for Tech21 products, the VT Bass never really cut it for me, but I guess that if you consider the legacy of the VT stuff (I've owned the rack and the BDDI stompbox versions), the class-D VT500 head has obviously paved the way for the combo. I am a little surprised that TC21 have put so much focus and effort into the VT series and it obviously works for a lot of people...IMPO the RPM/RBI/GED (and what I've seen of the dUg) all deliver tone head and shoulders over the VTBass, so maybe a few years down the line we'll see combo versions of the signature models at least.

Lozz196 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well it usually works out around the same numbers, just with a £ sign in front. Not bad, considering the VT DI is around £200+ if they do come in at around £500. I`d like one to take to gigs as a small backup option in case the gear there isn`t that good, but it`s a fair chunk to spend on the off-chance of having to use it.

PatrickJ Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The Tech21 website is not clear on the output. I.e. is it a 200 watt 1x12 combo, or is actually 140 watt @ 8 ohms, with 200 watts only being available with an additional 12" extension cabinet. I hope it's the former with the option of an active extension cabinet - reckon that would be a nice gigable rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Is there a matching extension cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickJ Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not seen one, but the specs list an extension speaker out so I'd imagine it's on their roadmap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It looks great and it is light. Amazingly though, it still looks heavy next to my Barefaced One10 and Puma 300 which together comes in almost 10 lb lighter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech21NYC Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The wattage of the VT Bass 200 is about 150 watts with its internal speaker. With an 8 ohm extension speaker it's 200 watts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech21NYC Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 For now, we just have the B112-VT cab to pair with it. There is discussion for a matching cab but that has not been finalized, The amp will be available in the UK but I don't have an exact release date as of yet, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 @Tech21NYC You have a lot of love over this side of the pond. We'd love to know what's going in in your R&D rather than the odd comment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDaBass Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 @Tech21NYC Does the preamp have HPF built-in? If so what is the frequency? The combo seems to be a very nice , convenient solution to many bassist who maybe going down the FRFR route but want more bass guitar focused small unit.

I do know we have some here that will be shipping in the US very soon but don't have anymore information beyond that. I'd suggest checking out our Facebook page. Usually there is up to date information there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) @Tech21NYC, acording to your site, the Bite switch on the VTDI 'engages a presence boost and a subsonic filter'? I would equate subsonic filter with a HPF, although I note the page for the amp does only mentions the presence boost! Interesting that this amp features a shift switch for the character knob as well as the mid knob. Shame the blend is gone though, I've become a fan of backing mine off to about 75% to retain some more of the original dynamics when the gain is pushed.
