Custom Line Bass DI-Expander : Sick of bass amps?

Been using this for a little over a year now and I love it!

Very straight forward to use, has a great tone and neatly fits on my pedalboard - at rehearsals I go straight into the P.A. and don't even bother with an amp, the EQ and controls are very intuitive, have a great sweep and really let you dial in your tone, I'm not a big compressor user but having one built in that I can click on when I needed is a great benefit - maybe used it a couple times when I thought I was being drowned out by one of my guitarists using a headrush through the P.A.

With gigging a lot of sound guys won't change the set up when they use the line out of a bass amp so going out the jack it does lift your tone through a bass amp - kind of like having a limited EQ pedal in front and another one of those times the compressor is handy if you feel like some of your notes seem a bit quiet - I like a very mid-rangey bass tone with a bit of growl and it's easy to achieve that in conjunction with an amp in a live setting

While there's not much growl on it's own, you can clip the gain for some, but it does get really loud and one of those things you really need to dial in with the volume and blend controls, so it's not recommended, but if you want just a fantastic clean bass tone for not much money compared to the likes of a sansamp etc. - it's definitely the way to go especially if you want to build an ampless set up with pedals
