But… But… What about the Green Russian Muff? What about the Orange Fur Coat Fuzz?

They are all very personal as well.

@PamPurrs I like if, fits my needs perfectly. It’s only an 8 inch speaker, so expectations need to be managed. I wanted something with a tweeter to keep my backing tracks bright and pleasant. No preamp required. You can plug even a passive bass in and play. I’ll try to do a thorough review in a week or two

I know this is slightly off topic, but I want everyone to know that I’m returning the VT Bass DI to Amazon for a refund, so it won’t be a part of my conversations for now.
It’s not that I don’t like it… I love it actually. It’s a money issue. I’m also returning many other items that I purchased recently.
I just found out that our sweet dog Lucy needs surgery that’s going to cost nearly $4,000.00, which will just about wipe out our meager savings. I’m scraping everywhere I can to minimize the impact on our savings.
I can always buy that pedal again in the future, but for now, Lucy needs surgery more than I need the pedal.

Dogs come 1st, then other family members 
I had to pack up and return a bunch of things last year when the wife was laid off when covid hit. Things are easily replaceable, family is not.
Much love to Lucy from NY.

This looks like an interesting pedal. I’ve watched a couple videos on it, and it sounds amazing.
Question: could this also be used as a pre-amp?

To an extent. Source audio pedals have EQ settings you can change within them, but it’s not as quick as changing on the fly.
Here’s a screenshot of the settings for EQ:

This is one of their more on depth and complicated pedals, and it’s full potential is way beyond me, but looking through the settings on the Neuro App, you can fully remap each of the knobs to just about any parameter, including EQ
There are 26 more selectable options, and that’s just for one channel. These are stereo pedals if you choose to have them set up like that.

Tbh. I have a ton of pedals for my synths. (Or I think I have … don’t lend your gear if you don’t want to see it anymore 
) In the end all the gadgets are just a way how to modify and shape A sound. I find the mindset of “why does an instrument need a further modification” quite a bad take on the thing, it’s never the instrument it’s always the sound.

Well put. The end result, the sound you end up with is the goal, not maintaining some ideal of instrument purity.
The same goes for “the tone is in the fingers.” This is true, but only to a very limited extent around a set of relatively pure tones.

This could be a cool docu from Reverb about the history of pedals. You can join the mailing list if you are interested…
