I will be picking one of these up...purely because I love these Tech 21 pedals.

There, was that so hard tech 21? Thats what people wanted. Although you could just be done with it and add in a mid sweep. I'll be getting one of these. |

Thanks for the heads up guys!

Would anyone who's tried / used both be able to point out some of the differences or similarities? Best tones? Love the SVT sound and dial in something like that on my RBI now. |

I wish more companies that went through the trouble to even add a mid control would also add just one more knob to allow you to sweep the midrange.Tonehammer and Paradriver both do and I own both.For me personally,it is so helpful! This pedal looks cool though. |

This pedal looks cool though. | I'd say that'd get rid of a lot of the VT/Ampeg tone though. The mids are where all the action is, hence why the Tonehammer seems really clean with no inherent tone in it. |

The old ones had a 3 position switch, I believe. But if you want to change the character of the mids, that's what the Character knob does.

I assume the +10db 1/4 inch out will drive a power amp ?

You certainly don't get the SVT tone with the tone hammer, but to say it has no inherent tone?  def has the whole Aguilar vibe in that small (heavy) package.
Cool that they have finally got this out tho, took them awhile! |

I had mike putnman put a VT2 into a rackmount with a di, phantom power, a 3 position speaker sim switch, an fdeck hpf3 and my own custom semi-parametric mid control that comes in after all of that. We both agreed that the mid control on the vt is too wide. Thats great if they put out the rackmount, but of course, there is no speaker sim button. Tech 21, why do you always, always, always, almost get there but then stop short. Why? |
