Behringer VT999 Vintage Tube Monster Front End Demo!!!

This is MY demo of the Fantastic BEHRINGER VT999, Vintage Tube Monster, real valve Over Drive pedal!

1 of the BEST things Behringer has ever made when it comes to O/D stomp boxes!

Utilizing a REAL 12AX7 type pre-amp valve. It stands UP along side many others that cost 100s of dollars! (This sells in AU for way less than $100!)

The circuit only works on low voltage, plate starvation mode, but still delivers, warm, dynamic and compressed overdrive that only a real valve can produce.

ONLY I think the Blackstar HT range of Pedals and Amps (Which incorporate the HT OD circuit as its preamp) run on 300V circuits.

Most of the others still run on 9-18V plate starvation.

Be that as it may, this pedal has some GREAT, high-end features!

Solid steel chassis construction, solid rubber feet, heavy duty foot switch, a volume & gain control + full 3-way tone eq control for total sound shaping.

It also has a noise gate, with an adjustable threshold, to cut back gain hiss.
Tho with a good valve in it, the noise floor is pretty low, even when the gain is maxed.

The stock valve is pretty average, the pedal sounds good but unremarkable.

CHANGE it for a good quality 12AX7, like a JJ, EHX or Sovtek, and watch this baby come to life!

It is now the ONLY O/D pedal I own and use!

I use it in the front end of my amps, for low gain sounds and my amps own overdrive for higher gained sounds!

Very transparent, and dynamic, it suits any type of electric and semi-acoustic guitars!

Please enjoy!
