Hello to everyone and thanks for contributing to such a nice and friendly wealth of info.
I am wondering if anyone owns one of the new VV pianos. I am in the market for either a Rhodes or a Vintage Vibe. There are plenty of videos of people playing the VV pianos but there is little to be scene about what is under the hood. If someone knows and can answer a few questions I would be very grateful.
1. I have seen pictures of a VV with the Stage vibe preamp on it. It looks like they have put different preamps on different pianos and I was wondering if the Preamps are tube driven. I was also wondering if they have an effects loop. The front panel which is in pictures does not show the I/Os so I can't tell if there is an effects loop or not.
2. Is the action on the VV piano the same as a fender rhodes with the Vintage Vibe mods added? Would the maintenance procedures be the same?
3. Does anyone know the weight of the 73 key?
I am deciding between going the VV route or hunting out a Vintage Rhodes and fixing it up. I am already selling off some of my photography equipment to fund this. The idea of refurbishing a vintage rhodes appeals to the DIY side of me, but the reality of having a fully functional VV ep that is much lighter definitely sounds nice as well.
