So I just got a gig where we're playing with in-ears. A lot of the time we're doing flyouts with limited backline selection. I get a lot of the warmth and roundness of my preferred tone from my genz benz shuttlemax 12.0. I don't get to bring this with me most of the time, and I've noticed the tone on the in-ears is super dry, and not so good. I also have been wanting to get a bass boost pedal, a straight signal boost pedal, and anoter eq shaping pedal (low pass filter for that underwater/dubby tone). I found the VT bass deluxe and thought it would solve all these problems, without having to buy 2-3 more pedals. I got it, and just have found that it shapes the tone too much, like I set everything flat and then just a bass boost, it changes my tone without it on too much. I should have realized this, as it is a character emulation pedal. Basically I'm asking if the Bass driver deluxe would serve my needs more accurately. Thanks in advance!

VT bass deluxe VS. Bass Driver DI deluxe
- Thread starter bassmasta117

The Bass Driver Deluxe has the Blend function which allows you to dial in your un-effected sound along with the SansAmp tube emulation. Still, you should be able to get a transparent bass tone with the VT. I'm not quite certain what you are describing. Are you having the difficulty using the pedal through in-ears or are you monitoring some other way?

Ya, that's pretty close to flat if not right on it. I'd argue for a little less treble.Something like this:
Something like this:
If you're looking for flat response just put the pedal in bypass.
