SansAmp Bass Driver D.I. : Tech 21 bass driver - awesome bass pedal!

12 years ago

I had been using a passive di for gigs but wanted to add something that let me have more control over the tone. I was thinking about getting a more complex rack set up but the small size made this very tempting as an alternative.

I'm really impressed at the variety of sounds I can get out of the bass driver - everything from a traditional clean thump to a growly modern rock tone. The controls are very easy to use which suits me perfectly and it's very quick to find a sound you want and store it. I usually have 3 patches going from very clean, clean with an extra boost and something heavier.

Since buying it I've switched over to using it for recording as well as gigs and tweaking the bass driver to get a sound that fits in the mix has saved a lot of time and hassle in the studio!

It's super strong and looks like it will last forever - I can't imagine ever needing a back up.

Fantastic little di that every bassist should have on their pedal board or in a gigbag ready in case you need to replace your amp.
