Product Information


Funk, growl, or crunch: The VT Bass stompbox has got your back.

The Tech 21 VT Bass SansAmp Character Series Bass Pedal delivers the sound of a tower of power pumping through a stack of 10-incher speakers. The VT Bass is just the bass pedal for bass players who demand to be heard and want legendary bass tone. From chunky funk with the ubiquitous flip-top to the higher-gain growl of indie rock, this Tech 21 bass effects pedal has range to spare. Still need more? Lean on the Character control for the fat, distorted sound of Crimson and King s X—it all sounds massive. From clean SVT thump to dirty, earth-quaking crunch, with the VT Bass pedal you just dial it in.

Each effects pedal in the Tech 21 Character Series, including the VT Bass Pedal, is loaded with tonal DNA for a specific style of guitar amplifier. By simply twisting a few knobs, you can build those sought-after tones or hot-rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation is delivered in the distinctive voicing of that amp style. The intuitive amp-like controls on Tech 21 Character Series pedals let you get your hands dirty from the get-go while you explore decades of blistering tones.

Being a genuine SansAmp, each Tech 21 Character Series pedal is way more than a stompbox. Each pedal can be used as a stand-alone pre-amp to drive a power amp, a studio mixer, or a PA system, with the rich SansAmp cabinet emulation that sounds huge&mmdash;even straight into a computer soundcard. Or plug the Tech 21 VT Bass SansAmp Character Series Bass Pedal into your bass guitar amp to take your tone on the road.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

a must own if you record.

I love the VT Bass, I also own the original sansamp bass DI, both are great, but if you want more of a mic'd cabinet sound while recording, the VT Bass is a better option. The simulations of the Ampeg line really do sound great!

Keepin it Fat

This little character pedal from tech 21 defiantly met my expectations. It is hard to find a good bass pedal that can really drive your tone and this baby does the trick. Most fuzz and overdrive pedals sound cheese ball but the VT gives you deep warm fuzz with the all character you need to step up in the mix without sounding like a turd. It’s quiet unlike the EH Metaphors or even a boss. Just a great buy. Way to go Tech 21

Plenty of different sounds....

If you know Tech 21, then you know they make a good product. The original bass DI is a great piece, but the VT Bass kills the DI in a live-on-stage battle. I run an Eden WT-800 and an Ampeg 8x10, with the VT Bass, my Fender's sounds like i'm back in the 70s. A must buy if you've got the room on your board or the money!
