General
At 11 kg, the VT Bass 200 Combo may be rightfully called a light-weight contender. And yet, Tech 21 have still managed to incorporate a high-end model class-D power amp that pulls 200 Watts of power out of this amp combo. The preamp section is fully analogue, contributing to a broad dynamic range. The VT-200 is based on the famous SansAmp Character Series VT-Bass and it's a given that Tech 21 like no other know how to stuff the sound of the '70s in a pocket-sized pedal.
Tech 21 VT Bass 200: Character Knob
With the drive control, you can infinitely vary between light overdrive and hi-gain sound, which, by the way, doesn't mean this amp cannot be used for cleans! The most striking feature however is the Character knob, that allows you to select various tonal flavours from different past decades, while the Blend knob can be used to mix up your overdrive and direct signals to maintain definition and sub-lows with a decent dose of drive added in.
Switchable Mids
The active tone controls can be used to boost or cut the signal by 18 dB and the mid frequencies can be switched from 500 Hz to 1 kHz. The Bite knob represents an extra presence boost and comes in handy to preserve definition in an overdriven sound. The effects loop bypass switch doubles as a mute function and the speaker outputs are Neutrik SpeakONs. All in all, this is an extremely light, yet surprisingly versatile bass amp.
