Pedal that can both serve as preamp or / and effects pedal. It seems the good old analog circuit and it takes the SansAmp that made the reputation of the mark. Connectivity is standard (in / out ... you should be fine right?). To be placed either before the amp or the effects loop. Using it as a preamp, I put my head before pourrave Warwick, I cut the preamp of the amp (you follow me) and I use to color my sound corny.
It must follow a Ampeg SVT but then forgetting right away and take what is good in what comes out of the contraption because it's very good. This is not a new gadget to modeling (beurk!).

UTILIZATION

The config is simple (3-band EQ, level, character and drive) and can have fun with the possibilities. When you fall on the sound can not touch anything and that's it. Sounds.

SOUND QUALITY

Ideal for rescuing an old ruin amp, giving grain to the transistors or thicken the sound of your amp cool stuff without resorting to ugly style ODB-3 that make the slurry. Owl box also as direct connection, despite the limited ... and we do not screw up the back with a three-body when recording. Also useful when you want to go directly to the PA for a small concert, even large rock.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought the states a month ago. It's a nice tool very similar to the SansAmp Classic that I use with a group of stoner. Plus: 3-band equalizer and the ability to play with the controls and drive caracter to refine the input overdrive. However I find the sound of the classic SansAmp fatter. The VT Bass is used for projects more classic rock. The amp is connected to which these two pedals is important to try. The two are complementary, but can not play along because the level of output and 3 times higher on the VT Bass. Anyway, again, I would do the same choice for the good old rock as you love so well, bassist friend.
