Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Oh, I like that Volt Thrower.
Is it a special run? I never saw one in a small enclosure with mids instead of clip!


i think that was the first run and there is a second in progress. you get your choice of 2 clipping options + no diodes and the added mid control. the mid control does make it a bit darker sounding but there is a mod that you can choose to keep it closer to the original sound however the mid control becomes more subtle i think.
 
can't get my L2000 single coil mod wired for 2 weeks and nikon still refuses to announce what full frame camera they will be releasing next, haven't bought the new moog mini delay, because i actually want to try it with the modded L2k to make sure it's gonna do what i want it to do

Thanks for the infos, I'll keep my eyes open for the next batch! :)

Yes its VT125B number 15. It has an internal mid pot and a sub pot as well. I was able to dial in a pretty close sound to the original volt thrower I have, but add a little more mid which allowed me to run a little more fat clean tone for our clean sections then kick on the vt and be back to my snarling mid overdrive i like so much.

Used the black eagle yesterday at practice... First impressions are positive from all in the room. I'm digging the jazz neck. Will use it a couple more times and see how it goes. Need to add a volume pedal to the board because the VVT config is a pain in the ass. Tuner mute just not quiet enough with dirt after. Whatever it is with TC mini tuner it makes a racket if there is dirt pedal engaged after it.
