as much as i like the vt deluxe, i could never use one without a separate preamp. it's not the easiest pedal to adjust on the fly.

How so? I was thinking of trading my RBI for one.

it has to do with its memory storing feature. you have to rotate the pots back to the point where the preset was stored before they do anything. and if you forget to save it, you lose it the second you change to another preset. i do love it, but for on the fly stuff, i use the controls on my head.

Add a cheap pre EQ pedal with any power amp is good to go then.
