Baer Amplification Megathread!

So... news on the VTI. 2015 was a very trying year for us and life kept throwing things at us that kept me from pouring all my time into the DI. I'll be perfectly honest here. I set out with the goal of this being a world class device and while I've been happy with the tone, it hasn't been the all powerful, magical box of tubey goodness I wanted it to be. We decided it would not be released until I can plug into it and not only feel like it is spectacular, but that it also gives me something I can't get from any other products out there.

So the initial design has gone through some changes, but I began to realize that we didn't quite have the right chef in the kitchen so to speak, so many months have gone into searching for the right engineer to take over the project. Recently, we have come across some people that I feel confident will be able to take the VTI from where it's at now, to where it should be.

Things are a little hectic for us right now with a move from Los Angeles to Washington state, but work on the box is moving in a very positive direction. We are moving a fast as we can, but it will likely be at least a few months before this is ready to go. Our sincere apologies to those who have been waiting for this, but it's on the right track now and I'm feeling really good about the direction the project is moving.

That Magellan 800 is awesome! I'm comfortably selling my Walkabout now. I moved the Ampeg SVT-410HLF and Fender 100T out of the picture...going to sell them too. Right now, the Prodigy and the Magellan are the cats meow. I'd like to have a Strategy though instead of the Prodigy. :)

Interesting. I almost snagged a Prodigy at a great price, but the seller got cold feet and backed out. Using a D800 With my ML112's which is pretty good but my fav amp with no pedals is my old Traynor tube amp. Big chest thump without any mud with the ML's.
Wish I had an ML115 to try with it.

I think you seriously need to stack all those cabs up just for the fun of it!

Absolutely BluesyCat!! I'd love to hear what you think when you drive those 3 Baer cabs with the Magellan 800. Might want to "tape up your windows";).
I am assuming they're all 8 ohm cabs for a 2.67 ohm load.

I think I would board them up. Tape is never going to hold based on what I've heard from that amp!

Hey guys been thinking a lot about picking up a ML112 to use with my TH500. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the combination. I use a P with TIs on it and I feel that the mids might be a bit much. Will also be used to double. Any comments on the combination will be much appreciated.

I have used each of those things, but in combination only the ML112 and a P bass.
My expectations for that combination of four are in line with yours. But having a mid control with adjustable frequency should give you enough ability to cut where needed, right?
