I also was told that, and that they have about 20 pre-paid orders, with more orders coming in almost daily.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
I wish it would come out already... I could use this on a European tour im doing next month with IEMs...
With no reviews any place, I wonder if they've even been shipped yet.
Looks like a dandy unit, though.

I emailed last week, but no response. Was really hoping to have one by now. I sold my paradriver and BDDI so if this doesn't come out soon, I need to pick up another BDDI.
What did you think of the paradriver?
I was considering it, too, but I usually run my parametric mids on stuff at 500Hz, which is where the mid control of the VTBass DI is advertised at.

I like the paradriver, I like the BDDI, but I wish the BDDI had more control over the mids and I wish the paradriver had more high end. I had a VT earlier, but needed the DI. So I'm hoping that the VTDI will be the best of both worlds.
Thanks for the input.
I'm hoping the VTBass DI hits the market soon.
But, I may be looking at a paradriver if the delay goes on into the fall.
I think Tech21 is a good outfit. I'm sure they want to get it out on the market.

Tired of waiting, Sweetwater called me back and said mid July, all they're first batch is sold.
Picked up a Bassbone so don't need a DI now. Just gonna wait till you guys get your VTDI's and then scoop up a reg VT pedal on the cheep. I hope

Yeah, I've heard the same thing from my other sources. 
They think it's a component supplier problem, not Tech21.
A para driver my be in my future. Gotta have mid control.
For now, I'll probably hang on, and see if this goes on even further.

If this delay goes on after August , I will have to go with something else. The longer this goes on, the more I wonder if I even need the VT. I think a paradriver, with the parametric mid, might be a better choice.
I use both VT and Para-driver together for my tone. I like using the Para for EQing with the blend off. I have the VT v2 but Never turn the speaker sim off anyways because To me the VT wouldn't be the VT without the sim. Also all my drive pedals sound better through it.
Right now, It looks like I'll wait.
Although the para could do most of what I'm looking for, the new unit looks like it Has a lot of possibilities.
I'm also getting to know my recently purchased (used) programmable bass driver/DI unit.
Meanwhile, I'll try to find a para in a store and try it out.
