Haha, my job is to waste away in front of a desk so my brain gets carried away thinking sometimes. but regardless, I picked up the Beta Bass head last night. Sounds good, until I russle up the money for the switchers I'm gonna work on using channel A with the VT Bass for thundering lows and light up the B Channel w/ the Rat & DS1 and maybe an env filter. Gotta dig out one of my old stero pedals I guess. Also I'm thinking an epic Solid State stacking is in order for some good pics finally, maybe this weekend.

Awesome! I quit using my overdrive pedals recently. The Beta Bass sounds too good! I run the drive on my A channel at around 1 o'clock now. I was keepoing the drive dialed back and using 2 different overdrive pedals. Now I plug my bass into a tuner, and the tuner into the amp. The end.
