Does the VT add clanking?

[JimmyM]

I have never noticed any 'clanking' associated with the VT Bass - just big, warm, tube amp like tones a'la Ampeg. The VT Bass Deluxe straight into the effects return of my MarkBass Jeff Berlin 1x15 combo is IT!!! Clank-free too.

it's fine to do that with it, and i'm sure it sounds great, but in the markbass little mark amps (which your combo head is), you can't defeat the markbass preamp by sticking the vt in the return. the loop is positioned before the pre.

however, the little marks have near flat response with all controls at noon and all filters off, so you could run it anywhere and still achieve what you're looking for by trying to defeat the markbass pre.

Thanks for the info Jimmy!

Ok, I used my VT pedal at my gig last night, and I adjusted the Character and High knobs down alot more than I had before. It definitely helped remove the ultra bright metallic tone for sure. It did sound alot better so it seems that the EQ was my problem.
