Sansamp VT Bass

[museDTrush]

hi all,anyone heard anything regarding the new character series from sansamp?

there is one pedal from the series that is made for bass, and im quite interested..heard that can dial up many different tones using the character knob..and some say its like the sansamp bddi with a additional mid knob but without the DI function..the overdrive seems cool too..and its cheaper den a sansamp bddi as far as i noe..

read up quite alot on it on talkbass, and im rather interested to try it..any idea when it will be in Singapore?or do i have to buy it online?

Is the character knob like the presence knob on the sansdi?

"The VT Bass has more Drive and a lot more midrange than the Bass Driver DI... it's sort of like an XXL running into a Bass Driver."

"It lacks the Presence knob of the BDDI, but adds its own Character knob, which to my ears has more of an effect on the sound than the Presence did. Of course one of the big selling points on this is the addition of the Mid knob"
