VT Deluxe Talkbass group purchase?

Ive been in touch with Tech21 about this very thing & they gave me the same answer.
We cannot go against our dealer contracts !! So if you can find another wholesale seller is the only way to get a deal happening. Ask Brad from `Tonefactor` he helps alot of people & may be able to do this deal.Its worth a shot.
 
Cheers, I actually posted the same link myself in another thread last week. Keeping an eye on it, Tone Factor told me they'd email once they get it in and because their postage is cheapest, their return policy is awesome and they seem like good people in terms of customer service I already feel a sense of loyalty to wait out for them, even though this will be my first purchase with them. But if it gets to Friday and no word, I'll check ebay once more...
Ive bought a few Sansamp things from Tonefactor & they keep thier word. The item you buy should be on your doorstep in no more than 9 days from purchase date, well 2 times it took that long to get to Oz.
I had to wait for them to get the RBI again, it took along time but i saved cash.Nobody can match thier shipping prices.Ive been nothing but happy with them.:bassist:

Yeah I've heard nothing but great things about Tonefactor, so I'm hesitant to go with anyone else... but, I do have some pretty important gigs coming up in a month and really do want the VTD to use on them... here's hoping their order arrives soon!!
 
i guess i have a decision before me...use the loop or go straight in. i'll probably go straight in since i don't use effects on the upright. but i'll definitely give it a shot in the loop.

Jimmy,
I was referring to the loop on the VT......you can still run it straight in... apparently it's suggested that "time based" effects work good in the VT's effects loop.....
Since you use other FX for your electric, you can program the FX loop active on any channels in which you'll use for electric and any channel for the upright, you can leave it off.

oh yeah, that's right...quite a convenient feature, i think, at least it will be if i ever get it.
 
On my chain, homemade loopmaster first (whole board in or out) then Filter then Compressor (tames the spikes on the filter when needed).
then VT D. The chorus and delay are in the FX loop of the VT.

Once I make some longer cables, I'll probably keep the VT in the chain all the time, and make the looper control just the filter and comp. But not today.

Thanks for the info, good buddy! I think I'm starting to get the logic of the signal chain on these boards...
 
So far I'm absolutely loving the VT, but one problem I'm having is keeping each patch 'balanced' with one another volume wise. Any ideas on how to set them so that there is little to no difference in volume between each patch?
 
I'm serious. I don't even remember what I paid for it. Whatever they are worth.

They retail $269 from what I've seen around the place

If it's anything like the BDP, just use your ear and adjust the level to taste.
