Play an Array of Great Bass Amp Tones

The Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series VT Bass V2 pedal gives bassists a great tool for getting different amp voicings, as well as a unique direct-to-PA and recording tool. You can dial in the characteristics of amps using the six effective controls (Level, Mid, Character, Drive, Low, and High knobs) onboard the VT Bass V2. All the pedals in the Character Series are much more than simple stompboxes; you can use them as preamps or take advantage of built-in speaker emulation (designed to sound like 10" bass amp-style speakers) for quiet, hassle-free recording. Get a diverse range of warm, fat bass tones to distorted tones with the VT Bass V2 pedal!

The heart of a classic amp inside

Each pedal in the Character Series is loaded with the tonal DNA for a specific style of amplifier. By simply twisting a few knobs, you can create sought-after bass tones with the SansAmp VT Bass V2 pedal. From flip tops to pushed 8x10" behemoths, every variation is delivered in the distinctive voicing of that bass amp style. The VT Bass V2's intuitive amp-like controls let you get your hands dirty from the get-go to explore decades of low-end tones.

SansAmp technology, built-in speaker emulation

Being a genuine SansAmp, the Character Series pedals are far more than just a stompbox. The VT Bass V2 can be used as a standalone bass preamp to drive a power amp, a studio mixer, or a PA system, with the rich SansAmp cabinet emulation that sounds huge - even straight into a computer soundcard. Or plug The SansAmp VT Bass V2 pedal into your bass rig to take your tone somewhere special.
