| | | | Check out the threads for the Sansamp VT Bass, some are calling them (the character series) the pedals of the future YMMV, but it does the B15's and '70s SVT magic beautifully. The Para Driver does a nice tubey sound but I wouldn't call it Fliptop sounding.

I don't own one and b.) I'm not looking for the Ampeg tone enough to justify going to buy a VT, even used. I just wanted to know how close I could get with what I already have.

And they can be had for CHEAP. I have two one onthe board and one on my cheap crate combo I keep in my room. Makes that pile shound pretty good.
