Tech 21 - SansAmp VT Bass DI

[@Sam-on5pz]

As a working bassist I can't recommend this pedal enough. It sounds excellent straight to a PA with speaker simulation, Or plugged into the house bass amp set flat. Even if using an actual SVT, I still like to use this pedal for the liberty of having a powerful EQ at my toes. Combined with an ampeg optocomp, I pretty much never fail to get a satisfying sound (in my opinion), wherever I play, from small clubs to large theatres and festival stages.

[@kehlcityhardcore]

Do you place the optocomp before or after the sansamp?

[@cmvb]

​@@kehlcityhardcoreprobably before. Compressor first

[@groovedealerfeaturing-ashl6476]

That's the same set-up i use for the studio, i also use a Boss EQ-200 before the OptoComp though. MASSIVELY versatile and sounds fantastic!

[@bloodromance4776]

I also have vt bass with Ampeg optocomp 😂 A great foundation for tone

[@erikbeyme3371]

Thanks god, at last a review without slapping. Very good 👍😁

[@thedoobiewizard]

This pedal nails that sweet, sweet Mark Hoppus tone.

It’s awesome the way you’ve shown how the pedal works in all scenarios. 🤘🏻😎

The blend knob is just the missing thing on my standard VT Bass ! great demos !

[@scoundrel1680]

In my opinion (after YEARS of using this) I'd argue it's one of the best Bass pedals on the market. The only pedal I have a brand-new backup of sitting in a drawer, just in case.

[@jagerking7020]

I just got a vt-500 amp which has the same preamp. It's so damn easy to dail in from Jameson to Geddy Lee and a turning in between. It just sounds so good without constant fiddling with 900 knobs.

Thank you for the great demonstration of this pedal. The best demo video of this pedal- in fact it was so good I just bought one. This sounds just so Much dirtier and grittier to me than the regular SansAmp Bass Driver that I have -tried some different pedals just didn’t work for me but boy this sure does- great job thank you Jim Chicago Great job!!!!

[@marciosouza8656]

the best demo on youtube!

[@ismaelbraz75]

Very good, I was waiting for this review, thank you

[@3notesabar843]

Great demo man. Good choice of general sound ideas going into different techniques of playing. But would have been even greater if there was some focus on what the Character knob does, since most of us know what bass/mids/trebles generally do. Thanks though!! 🎉❤

[@RUMBLEGO1]

That's a great demo right there!

[@alexandretremblay6338]

Great way to make a demo ! Thanks !!

[@jackbruce1000]

Can you get Geddy.Lee tone from this ?

[@sceptwo]

I own one and hell yes you can! Just set the bite switch to on and bring the character knob above 3 o'clock :)

[@cliffords2315]

I have one, its a take anywhere SVT Simulator, plug it into any amp, pa, and get your sound, I used mine with an Orange guitar Amp, and it kicks it like an SVT

[@stevedunch581]

Thx for the review. I know I won’t be getting this now. Review was very helpful actually. No slapping!! Thank u!

[@Cabthebaker]

After playing with this version and the older one (non DI), what can you tell is different about them? As far as your videos go they seem the same aside from the extra features of the newer pedal

[@BassStuff]

I feel they are pretty much the same but I remember being really impressed with the old one. To be honest I'll probably watch my videos to compare them 😅 . That's one of the reasons I do this. What you feel playing the pedals can be sometimes misleading.

[@james9789]

Great demo like that riff 😊,in your opinion will the original be as good for recording? Minus the d I, etc thanks​@@BassStuff

[@marciosouza8656]

If you engage the option +10db do you have a 10db boost in the final signal???

[@rickhurstyoutube]

Yes, for plugging straight into a power-amp

[@OttosTheName]

I love all your reviews/demo's. They are incredibly useful. Is there any chance you'll cover the BDI21 by Behringer? Supposedly it should be a good (or at least decent) Sansamp Bass Driver alternative.

[@BassStuff]

I am working on it !

[@OttosTheName]

Oh sick! Can't wait. I think that paired with the Ultimate Drive will be a fantastic budget solution for mean metal bass tones without an amp.

Subscribe. Great video 👍
