3below Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Why do they keep producing kit that I find very desirable, I have six tech21/sansamp items already, resistance seems futile. Edited May 25, 2022 by 3below 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Wish list: something like a VT deluxe on steroids - the Bass Super Deluxe? Programmable with Ampeg/Hiwatt/Fender/Orange/Marshall character plus Trace? or liverpool? or something 'modern clean'? (six would work well with the 2 banks of 3 format of the VT Deluxe, less development cost with the existing technology) . It would have the usual DI, cab sim, etc.etc. This would suit my 'old school' simple bass approach perfectly, one good (excellent?) tone will do for any bass / cab / amp / room / genre / live / recording scenario I am playing in. <Cliche alert>The rest is in my hands</Cliche alert>. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 As exciting as it is to have the Leeds back, my enthusiasm is dampened somewhat by the seemingly random distortions they're being paired with. That and the dug-style cases, complete with wobbly knobs, suggest the prices will be a lot higher than the original Character series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the dug-style cases, complete with wobbly knobs, suggest the prices will be a lot higher than the original Character series. 279 USD, so probably about that in GBP too. Not great, not terrible. The distortion pairings all seem fairly obvious to me though - SRV, Gilmour, Hendrix, and Brian May respectively. I already use the VT as my main sound and a Leeds as the drive, so having a second DI out to run a dirty channel parallel to my VT seems to be worth the entrance price to me! The fuzz is just a free slot at this point. Shame there's no Dry Out option so I can run wet/dry delays into the clean VT, but I think I can work round that.

Thanks Tech 21, love you too 🥲 Joyo makes an amazing clone of the Oxford called Oxford Sound. Considerably cheaper than the original pedal too.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 They've released a demo of the Hiwatt model, complete with a bit of bass! I'm very happy to hear that the drive sounds just like my Leeds pedal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I liked the first bass sound better, second a bit full on for me though I can see/hear where that would fit nicely in a mix 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leeds drive flavour is beautiful, even when pushed hard. I find the VT bass very harsh and clanky in comparison, although it can be very sweet at lower gain settings.
