I got into volume pedals back when I played bass. I usually played a 6 string. When playing octaves I could somewhat emulate the tones of a double bass and cello being played at the same time. I'd strike the notes then immediately swell them in, to give it a bowed sound. The initial strike was not heard, just the swell. This worked best in more ambient atmospheres. However as I got quicker at it, I used it quite often. Couple that with some string bending or neck bending for vibrato and you get some nice tones. So I then translated that over to the acoustic realm.
All that aside... I guess people have very little to say about the Baggs VTC or Anthem. It was all K&K comments, then we got side tracked. Aside from the needs for some external eq and impedance matching with the K&K, I still find it to be the most acoustic.
Agree/disagree??
