    New Pigtronix Resotron

    I've been using the Resotron on bass for a while now, both for my active Schecter and pass Mustang. It works best on the Schecter but works fine on the Mustang. The pitch-tracking feature, though, does not work well on either bass. It seems to emphasize the low sound too much and just doesn't...

    Tech 21 VT Bass 200 Combo Amp!

    Thanks Kro. I appreciate the insight about the 6dB increase I could expect, as well as your experience with hard hitting drummers.

    Tube driven Pedals.

    I have this too. Totally agree on warmth and body. But the gain knob does add a bit of grit when cranked, though much more subtle than a distortion or even an overdrive pedal. It's a great pedal.

    Tech 21 VT Bass 200 Combo Amp!

    Has anybody tried the VT Bass 200 with the EX112 extension cabinet? The cabinet only handles 100 watts so is not very versatile (i.e., for higher powered amps). But if it adds a TON of volume, maybe that means a bigger amp would never be necessary for me (barring an unexpected commercial...

    The level knob will make the signal louder but will not color the tone of the effects, in my experience. I don't use the effects loop much, though.

    Tech 21 VT Bass 200 Combo Amp!

    It would be a shame to discontinue it. I think it's a great amp. Incredible variety of tones.

    Tech 21 VT Bass 200 Combo Amp!

    People may look at you funny when they see your wife carrying this amp, but only because they can't see how light it is! I have this amp. The variety and quality of tones is fantastic. I can't speak to the volume because thus far I've only been practicing with it at low volume. But it sounds...

    Tech 21 VT Bass 200 Combo Amp!

    There is a button that alters the character control, but I'm not sure if it is an adjustment to the center frequency or something else altogether. It's sort of a mystery. All I do is try with the button in and with it out to see which sound I like better once I've chosen my other settings...

    I believe this is correct, although i'm not in front of my manual just now.

    Tech 21 VT Bass 200 Combo Amp!

    This is what I was wondering about, since I just bought the VTBass 200. So the "100 watts" for the external means that you can attach an external speaker rated to handle 100 watts at 8 ohms? I have not yet fully digested my new VTBass 200, so I will not comment yet, other than it seems to...

    Zoom Owners' Club!

    I'd like to join the club, please! I have an old 505 which I use for my electric guitar, an A2 for my acoustic, and I just bought a new B2.1u for my acoustic-electric bass. Obviously, I am a fan of Zooms, and I'm having a lot of fun getting to know my new B2.1u (and staying up way too late...

    Greetings - new to bass

    Hi all, I recently switched from guitar to bass, like a number of others I see here. I started by getting a Breedlove "Black Magic" (discontinued model) acoustic-electric, and an Acoustic AB50 amp. It's a great combination. I made the switch to bass because I believe I think more...
