The lack of medium poses no problem because I can sculpt the sound around, + or -. The blend is super important: do not ride too much not to distort the original sound of the instrument.

    SOUND QUALITY

    just put all the knobs at noon for MIDI at the extraordinary improvement that gives the pedal sound. Then, for my part, on a passive bass (fender precision), I drop a little blend before plugging in my Ampeg (twitter disabled). Live PA, or amp to twitter, I fall a little more treble. It enhances any configuration.
    I use it with a Fender Precision, a sting ray 4 and 5 and a fretless yamaha trb. Compared to the Sadowsky preamp, it sounds more warmly at the expense of the clarity of sound and it suits me like that. Nevertheless have a very flashy sound playing on the settings you can.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use since 1998. She has never left me. I changed my sets many times but it was all adventures. Currently I use it only with a cry baby bass.
    Only negative point: poor bore the XLR jack which makes it unusable. I have not found other evidence of this type so I guess I'm the only one it happens ...

    with the experience I would definitely choose this indestructible gem.

    $89 used at Guitar Ctr Albany NY.

    I knew Tech 21 NYC stuff is very OK
    because I'm already using their Bass

    It is both tube simulator and a DI box.

    I know what my Fender Bassman tube amps sound like, and know their limitations.
    The Bass Driver is a decent mimic, not
    quite 100% fool-your-ear, of the Bassman

    Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DIPublished on 12/22/03 at 15:00
    If I was allowed only One Stomp Box Effects formy Bass Guitar, the Tech 21 Sans Amp would be it. This little Box blew away all the other Mono and Multi-Effects Modules I hooked my Bass into. It is very versitile, it allows you Funk and Fwap to R&B and Jazz and Drive Home the Bass line in a Heavy Metal Song with the "drive" knob. Turns your Average Bass guitar into a High End Bass with Rich, Full, and Solid Bass tones.

    Paid about 170.00 at an Online Musicgear site.

    Solid, Light Metal Contruction.

    It is simply the only Bass Effect Stomp Box you need to own!

    Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DIPublished on 12/03/02 at 15:00
    Great DI and love the active option (sounds great!)!! I wish the 1/4" output(to run effect into my rig or mixer) was on the outside, instead of in the middle of the XLR and power supply(on front panel?). When using 90 degree 1/4" patch cables it get's a little in the way if you use the XLR at the same time. It has a input and parallel out in back, but using the parallel out doesn't give the effect to my rig (which sounds great).

    Almost everything

    Placement of unbalanced 1/4" output.

    Excellent

    Good Buy @ $170

    The operation of SABDDI (acronym for SansAmp Bass Driver DI) is based on three potentiometers Magic: the drive, the presence and blend.

    The final mix, as desired, the direct signal from the bass and the retired
    This model is not rack-mount, which also will soon take me to buy the SansAmp RBI

    UTILIZATION

    The SABDDI is very simple to use.
    The manual is simple but enough to teach the basics of operating the device

    SOUND QUALITY

    This is the only preamp I see transistors capable of reproducing very accurate grain of tube amps (for low, I get along)
    From this point of view, Tech 21 has done an absolutely remarkable
    I use this preamp between my Ampeg B-100R and my basses: a Fender Precision and a Rickenbacker 70's 4003
    I get it sounds huge, with the only regret background noise quite important, especially when it boosts the presence or the drive

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this camera for a year and a half
    I appreciate its simplicity and the fact quickly find a warm and powerful sound
    As I said above, I regret that it is not in a rack, and background noise bothers me a little
    I also have a Bass Pod, it is not at all comparable. To simulate the Ampeg, the Bass Pod is far behind
    The value for money of SABDDI seems excellent (I had to pay about 300 euro, or a little less I think)
    If it again, at that price I would do

    UTILIZATION

    Overall, we can find sounds good. The manual provides examples that can serve as a basis, but we can well do without trs and all rgler instinct. Even when two regrets: first, the CONTRL, including equalizer, trs can be (too) sensitive on the other hand, the Retail Banking is not programmable, not very s practice to switch between the two pieces.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The SansAmp provides easy color enjoyable in its neutral plutt my Rock Bass active. It was easy to hum a few guttural well suited to blues, as you can get more slammin sounds more modern. On a low-end bass, in this case my old Kingston is frle the miracle: the small bote lets out a sound all acceptable than an instrument of some sort. Let us be clear, is not a substitute for a good low branch in a good amp, but gives dj something very fine.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this from prs prampli a year and I can not do without. Only one regret: the impossibility of the program.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The Sans Amp Bass Driver DI is a low prampli and serves to direct box

    the recording of his bass on a console mixage.De robust (it is in the size

    mtal any evidence) it can be powered either by battery or by power phantme

    a mixer.

    Blend button is used to effect the shuffled and original amp without the bass.

    It can boost the bass and treble rglages (Bass / Treble) according to EFET DSIR.

    Presence button is used to sustain the sound of the instrument and at least harmoniques.Regl

    the sound will be rounder and cleaner.

    LEVEL is the level of output.

    DRIVE is the Gain and Overdrive.

    You can have the accumulation of DIFFERENT amps depending on the strength of the amp as rglages

    SVT, Ampeg, Bassman, KING'S X, FAT TUBE, REGGAE, SLAP, CRIMSON STYLE SOLO [......]( there is a booklet

    included in the box without giving some rglages Amp, you can create your images according

    your taste)

    Used on amps like mixers is an essential link in my set

    low.

    It transcends the sound of my bass either on amps rotten or exceptional quality.

    He amps the least playable better day for the happiness of the musician.

    On mixing consoles it gives a touch more groove because the sound is warmer and more

    body.

    Ideal club for failing to take his or studio amp for the same ct practice. You

    follow all without flinching as robust.

    For over six years that I use and it is like the first day (as if I had to buy it).

    The English manual is concise and explains the functionalists Sans Amp.

    In the era there were no POD (besides, I've never tried, I what I need)

    If I had to make that choice again o the price I bought it I do it again the same choice.

    But do not use the button hsiter BLEND for a good compromise between

    bass sound and effect. (especially for Jazz Bass), otherwise the sound would be too color.

    Ds as a breath apparatus (I mean by this is the case to say, not a breath of p'tit wiring, a real breath audible) is that we are all too away. At worst, if you want rglages (every taste are in nature!) Are in a noisy area:

    2) It would have been the best amp in the world (yes, yes, I my words PSE).

    OVERALL OPINION

    There are also other good trs I know less. What I like about it is the robustness of the Tech21 stuff!
    For information:
    I Discoveries with Tech21 GT2 ("same" but for guitars), and when I got the bass, I bought the same day the bass and the Bass Driver DI. The type of the shop did not flinch when I told him I wanted to marry a low "of qualitquot; (MusicMan Stingray 4c) this toy" artificial.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This unit has joined my small home studio and I'm already crazy. Get in seconds such a sound, it would be impossible except with a head and a cabinet that are out of my price range now ...
    How could I do without it so far?

    Quality / price ratio: I can only be satisfied having ordered the United States for the modest sum of € 155 including postage and delivered in 12 days!

    So I résumé is a box of studio and do everything live is a plus. I use it also as a beast of live for my acoustic electric bass.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is standard, I think it's an Ampeg all flashlights, the sound is warm, round, hitting, everything I love. With the stingray sound covers everything rock: the fawn mdiator gainsbourg melody nelson or the terms of PART TWO of echoes of Pink Floyd, the finger can be trs jazz , rhythm and blues, melodic rock (radiohead, coldplay) o the bass is all very simple.
    With the drive still has trs background music!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 8 years, I do not spare recording, I blame him just had to push my amp retirement, he attacks the sound system with equal efficiency (and it is the ger that the BXR 300). I tried a lot of prampli the era there was almost as he is to simulate the lights, but I do not see what could be done better (except for memory ).
    I think that legalization Retailer and more functions because it would lose its simplicity rock'n roll.
    Good quality price when compared with an Ampeg head (I know, I push a little)

    Treble / Bass: A lot of impact on your sound. Leave the settings in the lower center.
    Presence: To cut through the mix, this is the ultimate weapon. This is fabulous.
    Drive: Wanted by the hum of the lamp warm. Convincing enough, but much less at frequencies too low. I do not necessarily Sansamp for his drive. Anyway, it brings immediately to its magnitude.

    SOUND QUALITY

    It boosts your bass very convincingly close to the lamp. She will give a thick enough hallucinating. With a Musicman Stingray 4 string, a drive and a Hartke 3500 is good even with a low tuning.
    I do not use it for my bass driver. The EBS Multidrive does it very well.
    The knob presence is very useful. A good way to upgrade your amp.
    I use it as a preamp for this purpose.
    I do not know what it's like what comes out of the DI.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I make particular use to which it has become indispensable to me: the preamp.
    I use it for two good years, and still no problem.
    Originally, I was looking for a drive or a low distortion, but if she did not what I wanted. Tested with good Warwick granted normally, it was very good.
    I greatly appreciate the warmth and presence that it offers.
    It is therefore the price quite high. Try Ebay, they are found from time to time. In Pigalle, I found it in Effect Center. With experience, I do it again this choice in a heartbeat.
    Trying to adopt it.

    This is an analog preamp direct box for bass.
    connectivity simple and effective. 9V power supply jack and XLR and phantom power via XLR.
    Format pedal switch on / off.
    It is robust and brand reputation is second to none!

    UTILIZATION

    I use it mainly for the preamp stage and amplified by a return or an amplifier + speaker. Usually send the XLR output to a table.

    I also use it to record my bass on the PC.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Terrible, I have a tube preamp for home studio (tube pre and TP01) that do not sound like that. The sound is clear, powerful, all spring to all styles and m ^ ^ e ^ me the chords are pretty ... I even want to try a voice to see what happens so I hear the details of my basses that I did not with my little preamps!
    On stage is extraordinary, given that the sound through the sound can be huge and very comfortable, it's easier to manage with a return that all the amps I had to change too much for me its from a certain power to the scene. In short I spend with it in the return line and everyone has a great bass sound for him, and especially for me!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years
    I like everything except the lack of knob in medium a few times.
    I worked in the music store where I took the time to make my choice. In any case there is only one competitor at MXR and that's fine too, but the color I liked best. I plan to purchase one very soon to put them in series (2 preamps like the real! Hi hi)
    Excellent value for money.
    I do it again this choice with his eyes closed and ears open!

    SOUND QUALITY

    Vrement ... ... it's too realistic .... ca crazy balls when we spent too much euros in a big American amps of 45kg that never grows more than 5 ... even in concert .... and that such a tiny box do .... see more (no lamps to change and all that) and using same as a PC ... pffff ... there's no better TYPE US ... other direct boxes ... well it's different for those who want the warm sound and his smooth muscular type DEATH ... this is the same drive ... it sounds thoroughly crazy .... AND NOT BREATH CA !!!!.... or so is what is connected before the DI already blowing ....

    OVERALL OPINION

    And more ... it's solid ... and no need to stress to the battery ..... if there is a sound in the surroundings of your next concert ... =)
    There is nothing to fear in this purchase .... for once it's all good ... unless you like not the US's typed ... or you want to sound super mega hyper d is transparent ... Other brands for ca .... but even a pro ARIA chepokoi .... it sounds !!... by hit against the violin and not ... lool ... but with a good low and mid-range INDISPENSSABLE it!

    Bon ben t say it all. I bought it used and I do not count me Sparer ... prcdemment as said, this gadget could save your life and given its size and the sound comes out, I put 10.

    UTILIZATION

    Operation is very simple and intuitive trs. Used as prampli or effect of boost / drive, it can be a juggle between the bb and the amp ... but sr is to have a sound that kills.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use a Fender and a Fender Plow amricaine JBass Japanese. Personal I use a Warwick amp ProFet 4 in a rock band 70's. I post a notice on this little critter logieux (the so ProFet 4) but with the Bass Driver ass is joy. There is grain, high-sounding bass, treble prcis but do not dchirent eardrum…

There is grain, high-sounding bass, treble prcis but do not dchirent eardrums ... the finger and the game is very well made. In the mediator can play any style greasy without problem.
    Note that the sound is trs US East.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well, the trick with the Bass Driver fabulous is that one is sr to have a good sound. If the amp breaks harbor, we can directly plug into the sound system. If it is a combo prter Park musty falling apart for the village fte Moisy-sur-Bolet is our little branch Casing top and boom! We can start laughing. He dj save 1 time in concert and it magnifies my rack all rotten. I do it again this choice with his eyes closed.

    Add APRS change gear at all for Ashdown (MAG 500 EVO II MAG414): I joined a new group east stoner-garage-punk-hardcore that has little do with my other group of jazz rock kind. I have invested in new gear (the Ashdown) and I put between my bbte US Plow and my amp ... I sound just incredible power and without the quality of my head are dnatures. As a speaker cash trs well ... Graouh! It confirms the potential and flexibility of the contraption.
