Anybody using 2 VTs?

Yes I know there's a VT Deluxe

I object to the size and the real estate devoted to functionality that I'll never use. What I want is something like the Programmable bass driver...reasonable size, with a few presets. Sansamp, take the PBDDI enclosure and make a programmable VT. I'll buy one.

Since that does not exist, I've considered having 2 VTs, one clean, one dirty.

Anybody doing this? I love the VT and use it as a preamp at the end of my chain. I want to have clean and dirty VT tones without having to tweak the pedal between tunes, and the deluxe is such overkill for me.

Don't know if this would work since I haven't tried it yet personally, but you theoretically could just have a boost pedal in front of the VT to slam it with some more gain. That is of course unless you want drastically different EQ settings between the two.

You might just try that and see if it's so far off from what you want that you need to spend 200 dollars. At that price I'd almost just grab a Zoom B3, which has a very good SVT sim on it that you could use for the same purpose. I have both a VT and the B3 on my board currently.

yeah that's not a bad idea and i don't want radically different EQ settings...I did have an angler in front of it at one point and I liked that a lot

VTs are running 100 used nowadays so might be just as easy to add another...maybe I'll try a boost though

Well, the EHX LPB is about 40 bucks brand new, and if you are of the DIYing spirit it's a dead simple circuit to do for real cheap.

I'm not using two VT's but I am using two Dr. Scientist The Elements for the same thing you're describing. If you like and can use more then one sound out of the VT I'd do it.

The drawback would be having to turn one off then the other on. Unless you dialled them in to be stacked... That could work.

Most easiest way would be, if u know a diy guy, to remove the footswitch and use a 4dpt switch to switch between a second gain/master pots (need to be addef) and the General gain master pots. As u use IT as always on Pedal....

I'd like to have the Footswitch on the floor but the VT dials on the amp for me to tweak.
