Just got mine too. Love it. I play a moduls through an Eden rig, usually with no effects. This does the trick when I need to go in the opposite direction.
There is a YouTube clip out there where one of the examples cuts all the Mids and keeps the Character at 0. Bumps the lows and highs to about 12:30. I think the drive was around 10:30. Not sure when I'll get back TB to confirm all of this, but the tone was really cool. It was almost classic Jimmy Smith low organ sound. Very counter intutitive. Not sure how it will work in a live setting, but for the right song in the right setting it is pretty cool.

I liked both of them especially the 2nd one. What were the VT settings you used for these?
Unfortunately, this is not me playing
I was asking for some settings to get close to this sound.At the moment, I found this :
Bass - 2:00
Mid - 2:00
High - 1:30
Character - 3:00
Drive - 11:00
With an active bass (MEC J/J), direct in the soundcard like it was done for this samples (two tracks, one clean track and one Sansamp track)
Just subscribing to this thread as i hope to pick a VT Bass up this (or next) week.
Been using a BDI21 and really like how it adds to my tone, cant help think the VT will be even better.

Im ordering mine tonight so will get it wed i hope.
Not sure how ill get on with it but im sure it will be better than my BDI21, even if its just for the mid control.

Well mines on its way, cant wait. Should be here tomorrow.
Ive a few questions to VT owners but for now just one.
Hows the battery life? I plan on using mine on all the time, sitting on my amp. While im willing to buy a PSU i would like to start off with batteries first and see how i go.
Cheers, and thank to all those who have posted settings, i look forward to trying some of them as soon as i can.

I'm still playing around with it so i'm not sure exactly but the manual says it should last 100 hours!
Cool and thanks.
I always unplug during sets so im sure ill get a few gigs out of one battery.
You welcome you can download the manual Here if you want to read about what your getting.

choose the" Character settings (General)"
Thanks again. I was just doing exactly that.
Im expecting great things from this little box and im sure its not going to let me down.
It will be here tomorrow

Just remember that small changes make big differences, and that all the controls interact with each other.
When I first got my VT, I was ready to re-sell it because it seemed to be all about distortion, and I couldn't get it to sound as good as my BDDI. Then read more about it here on TB and discovered the art of gentle tweaking!
Have fun!
Thanks, ill remember all that.
Distortion is one thing i dont want a lot of, and it would be nice if i can get a BDDI tone if i need it.
Im just getting this to fatten up, in a warm way, my MarkBass heads.
Ill not get a chance to use it with my rig until im at the gig on Sat so having some example settings like in this thread is going to be a big help.
Just wanted to bump this thread and ask a quick question. Alot of people have posted their settings but I have not seen that many describing the tone they are going for.
My side project band (classic ROCK > ACDC, Kiss, Ramones etc) is pretty loud and what I want to do is add a bit of fuzz to help cut thru. Not over the top but enough to get me heard. This is mainly for rehearsals where I am trying to use a small cab (ul112) and still be heard. BTW, I play with flatwounds.
Thanks!
