What’s more this little device can change the feel of your record device, help to drive power amps and even go directly into a PA system, showing off it’s highly versatile usage and helping to elevate your performance on stage, at home or in the studio.

Much like the original VT Bass, the VT Bass DI brings the same legendary power tone that you’d find from its sibling. If you’re wanting to be heard on stage, this is the pedal you need. Suitable for any genre, you can switch seamlessly from fattened funk tones, to deep and rounded electronic, from growling indie to straight up screaming rock – all at the flick of a switch.

A range of controls

With an individual level, mid, low and high controls allow you to balance the EQ of your sound to achieve absolute tonal perfection, helping you to find your own unique voice. Also incorporated is a blend control which allows you to adjust the ratio of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry, with the addition of a bite switch to engage a presence boost as well as a subsonic filter. The drive knob adds more overdriven growl, which allows you to go from a cleaner, more refined sound to a gritter punch – adding additional range to any set.
