The VT can give a nice cream fuzz at ease. I tend to play a bit of grunge with an epi thunderbird. Only used it sparingly for drop tunings but it holds tone even with stock tb humbuckers. And... They too are cheap! I picked up a deluxe for $180. My active can achieve a nice modern tone too. TB's...

I guess my first impressions of the PF were a little critical at first. Its the only Class D bass head I have. Too used to tubes. Also with the VT, I have done many a gig with just guitar and pedal. The DI has always passed my expectations.

The VT is such a good pedal and easy to work with. I set everything flat and adjust character. It is consistent and sounds good with a a guitar too. Especially telecasters. This pedal is always being used by someone in the studio. Itvjust hangs around and does what it does everytime. May end up...

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Ive owned this head for a while and found to avoid constantly running it in the red. The other piece of advice is that my head doesnt like particular brand leads. It may sound weird but it cut out from vibration. Persist though as I love this head and its smashed...

I matched it with a Genz Neox 212 to handle down tuning and a EHX MicroPog. This keeps it nice and light but still producing an absolute wall by just running slight blends on the pog. Very happy ;) Thanks for the replies. This was my first thread despite reading TalkBass for years in the small...

Recently I purchased an Ampeg PF500 as my Class A was getting repaired. I bought the portaflex with intentions of resale as I got it cheap enough to get money back when the repairs were done. At first I will say I was disappointed but what can you expect for the price. But then I plugged a...
