Tech 21 Leeds bass demo

[JimmyM]

Lloyd Schwartz sent me this video demo of the Leeds in response to some of you who were wondering how well it would cop Hiwatt bass tones. I think it's highly disgusting that he would come out with this pedal at the same time as the VT Deluxe, because I really want one now.

Oh man that last three seconds with the Entwhistle bit...


Like sex to my ears. Very tasty sounding!

 

[bongomania]

Not bad!

 

[RFord04]

+1, that was pretty impressive.

veeery nice! I've always tried.. but couldnt get in to the vt bass tone and have been searching for a hiwatt for awhile now... this might just do!

Any idea what bass he was playing and was it direct out or a miked amp? Did they use the delay to accompany it like they did at the NAMM demos?

Wasn't told what it is but i'm sure they went direct with a precision. anything else would be sacrilege.

 

[JimmyM]

btw, sorry for the dupe thread.

Sounds great - I think it would be a nice add. At least for once the drive and char. knobs are past 12.

Thanks for posting Jimmy.

Right I think that's me decided, I need one of these really bad. Lots of time to get the money together so shouldn't be any hassle. Still want to hear the Oxford on bass all the same.

 

[Happynoj]

Nice.

Apparently tech 21 wants not only my money, but all my pedalboard real estate too. I was super pumped about the vt deluxe, and now I need this. Argh.

<sigh>

Just when I think I'm out... they pull be back in.

Bring on the Oxford clips. Should be great for stoner rock.

How does it compare to the VT Bass?

Mike Putnam at http://www.putnamguitars.com could put the VT Bass and the Leeds into a one space rackmount and you'd be able to switch between the two pedals.

He's doing some pretty cool mods for people. Big ol' thread on it over here:
