Review: A great sounding overdrive with a real authentic vintage muff 60s/70s sustain and a rich tone. - This is a beast of a pedal and is 3 times the size of a normal ped so beware if you are pushed for space. You can actually piggy back a ped on top of this. It is a great sounding overdrive/distortion with a real authentic vintage 60s - 70s sustain and a rich tone. Like a Big Muff on steroids. The noise gate is a good little feature and reduces noise pretty well. It comes with it's own power supply but you need to let this ped warm up for 5 minutes before playing. Be aware that the type of pickups on your guitar will shape the sound especially if you have high gain ones. It seems to work best with a strat. If you throw a tube screamer clone before or after it in your pedal chain it boosts it really well for gain stacking. Use a wah, vibe/phaser and delay with it and get that big Hendrix lead sound also. Adding another fuzz/distortion after it gives it that nice grungy Fuzzface style distortion. It has to be set up carefully but you can get some awesome rock sounds. This will not work as a metal pedal on it's own as it is a vintage muff type distortion/fuzz pedal so be aware of that. What I really like is you can change the EQ with your foot as the nobs are nice and big. I have many Behringer pedals and I use all of them regularly with other makes for very specific sounds. Most Behringer peds are actually boss clones. This is one is a good alternative to other over priced boutique peds. These analogue ones are good but some of the Behringer digital pedals (Digi-delay & Reverb) have cyclical glitches, so best avoid them. UPDATE: I recently got the Behringer Vintage Tube Overdrive V911. It has basically the same 12AX7 valve powered circuit without the mid and bass EQ control of the V999. It is about half the size and will run off a daisy chain PSU unlike this one. It actually has a more mid focused sound than this that can get flabby in the lower end. A good pedal in my opinion. Similar ehx muff sound but smaller and cheaper. Conclusion - Get the V911 for a pedal board but use the monster as a preamp for home use and recording. The noise gate on the V999 is real useful when multi tracking guitars. Review: Amazing clone - Amazing pedal for the price. Currently using it to slightly warm the sound of my Kemper. Not sure it would work on my board due to size but the sound is outstanding. It looks like the tube is easy to change to make it closer to the original chandler too. ## Features - Authentic Vacuum Tube Tone: Experience 12AX7 warmth with this premium overdrive pedal.

And you can check this 9V power supply adaptor for this pedal : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JZ19B0E **Q: will this work on my bass guitar?** A: I’ve used it for bass guitar with no problems, however I’m sure a compressor pedal specifically designed for bass would probably give better results **Q: Can you use a bass guitar with this?** A: Hi Matthew, absolutely, a bass sounds great through it. The chorus in particular thickens the sound nicely and you'll have lots of fun playing with the pitch function.

Currently using it to slightly warm the sound of my Kemper. Not sure it would work on my board due to size but the sound is outstanding. It looks like the tube is easy to change to make it closer to the original chandler too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ D.I.Y and modders delight. *by M***R on 24 December 2014* At about Β£35 ( the price fluctuates ), this is a good starting point, As it comes, the PSU is barely adequate[1] and the tube fitted is vile. Really, a 12ax7?, on that supply?, useful for checking it all works. Which it does. The unit comes alive with a 12au7. I may try a 12at7 if I can obtain one at sensible money, but this isn't the first vt999 I've had. I sold the last one in a state of penury, but took my 12au7 out and refitted the stock ( nasty, and not in a good way ), which left me with the spare valve. When you power these things up, let them run for 10 minutes. Protracted warm up time, then have a play. The noise gate threshold is useful on my single coils, redundant on my humbuckers. The eq section works fine and the master volume is what you think it is. Gain-wise, pre-tube swap, anything over '4' and it sounds like a metal \m/ pedal, harsh and buzzy. Scoop the mids though and metal \m/ heaven for some. I'm not a metaller though. Post swap and creamy-crunch delight. It's also quite nice to use it solely as a pre-amp into the power amp stage via fx return. Just fine through the normal input stages too. Too much gain drives my amps into nasty clip ( I'm an avowed transistor guy usually ), but spend time getting to know just how much gain+master and many, many good sounds issue forth. Fantastic bit of kit. [1]Really, it is inadequate. It does give a sort of 'belly' effect though. Try a 500ma PSU for more consistency and less buzz. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer VT999 Vintage Tube Monster Overdrive Pedal - JJ ElectronICs 12AU7 / ECC82 Preamp Vacuum Tube - JJ Electronics Amplifier Tube (T-12AX7-S-JJ) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/49642996-behringer-vt999-vintage-tube-monster-overdrive-guitar-pedal-vacuum-tube](https://www.desertcart.us/products/49642996-behringer-vt999-vintage-tube-monster-overdrive-guitar-pedal-vacuum-tube) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
