Late to the party. I just ran across this thread.
I have a VC3Q and tested my SM7B with it, about 6 years ago. I seem to recall it would drive the SM7B. However, it lacks the oomph needed to really open up the 7B, like my CL-1 does. Let me dig through my archives. I may still have an audio clip of my VC3Q/SM7B tests. ...no promises though.
Back in 2012 and after [MENTION=99712]moresound[/MENTION] and [MENTION=29622]Seeker of Rock[/MENTION] gave me G.A.S., I bought this used VC3Q (the original model from when Ted Fletcher and the Joe Meek brand were still partners) that would not power up. After corresponding with Ted Fletcher on his BB, I sent it to the UK to him, for repair. He went through it, diagnosed, repaired, soak-tested it, and gave it his blessing, before shipping it back to me. I thought that was too damned cool, for him to offer to tune up an old, used, second-hand, piece of gear that bore his name. He returned it to me polished and pristine, like a brand new unit. LoL- he even put a inspected by/ tune-up date sticker inside the chassis.
You might be able to get the answer on his BB. He still checks it, or others may chime in.
