Tech 21 VT Bass

I believe all the stores that were supposed to get them will be getting them this week, unless of course Tech 21 doesn't ship them.
There's one in Miami on Kendall, and another in Hallandale, which is just north of Miami. And GC does carry it...their website shows that it should be in now.
I ordered one from zZounds last night.
They tell me they should have it as of December 1st.
In the meantime, thanks to Jimmy for his settings and recommendations, and more settings and tips are welcome! I'll be sharing my experiences after I have a couple weeks to play with it.

Sorry this has spilled over from the DI thread but am just wondering if the VT bass would act as enough of a boost to the signal to make it OK to use a passive bass through a Radial JDI and never have to worry about sending too weak a signal to the desk?
Or should I just get a J48 anyway?

Bongo asked a similar question much earlier in this thread, and I think you'll find that the answer is overwhelmingly yes.
In fact, I've seen a number of people here respond that they just take the box and a tuner, +/- some effects. The signal is plenty hot (or so they say, read for yourself a few pages back)
I'll find out in a couple weeks for myself anyway, so I'll be able to address it more directly.
fedex should be bringing me mine tomorrow!!
i'm pretty excited- i'm gonna try all those settings that you guys made. I LOVE KNOBS

How would this unit sound plugged into the FX return of a combo amp? I have a Yorkville XS400T 400w 210 combo amp (gets great reviews on Harmony-Central) and a Peavey Millennium Plus 5 bass.
Note: This question might have already been answered - I just didn't have time to read all of the posts, sorry!

I talked with my Tech 21 rep yesterday and they told me they won't be shipping until the second week of December. Bummer!!
Here's the response I got:
I spoke with Lydia at Tech 21 & she apologized for the delay in shipping the VT Bass pedal. She said they will have the parts to assemble the product on Monday or Tuesday of next week & will ship them out the 2nd week of December. She said shipments to the west coast will go first to insure that all dealers receive product around the same time.
Once again, sorry for the delay & feel free to pass this info on to your customers.
Looks like all dealers will be getting them about the same time. I have been taking pre-orders if anybody is interested.
That's wild how much in demand this pedal is. I hope if a programmable VT comes out that they make enough to keep up with the demand. I also hope it doesn't suck 
I guess this pedal is worth the buzz it's about. I should sell my English Muff'n and get one of these....

guess I'll have to wait until someone rips off the schematic and build my own...
might be a lot quicker than getting one here in Oz...
I'm still not 100% convinced I need one, but I'd sure love to try it out, just the same....
How close does the VT come to how the LMII sound? I tried a Markbass CMD Mini 121P 112 combo a few weeks ago and my bass has never sounded better! Rich and warm but clear and growly. Can I get that kind of sound out of the VT? I won't be playing it through a 112 - it'll be a 210 - but will it still be thick, rich, clear, and growly?
I'll be preordering one from Sweetwater.com in the next few days - they have 12 months no interest, etc.
Well, a 210 will do what it does, so you have to take that into consideration. But as far as matching tones, I once tried to match the tone of my 64 B-15 with the VT plugged into the Mini CMD121P I used to have. The speaker made it to where I couldn't get the exact tone, but I got what I thought was as close a recreation as I could get. I turned the VT off and compared it to the 121P set flat, and it was identical. So yeah, the VT will cop Markbass tones as well
Well, it's all I've got - it'll have to do!

That's great to hear. I've tried the Markbass 210 with my bass and wasn't all that impressed, so I think it's a 12" woofer thing that made the 121P sound so good. I'll be happy if I even get close. The good thing about the 210 I've got is the speakers handle the low B very nicely. If it'll sound warm and yet clear (having depth rather than just mud) I'll be thrilled!
Can you get nice clean tones out of the VT as well?
