V-Tone Bass BDI21 : Best Sans Amp Bass DI Alternative

If like you me you tend to work on a budget and be a fan of good deals (and are also a bassist) then the behringer v-tone bass DI pedal is a great alternative to more expensive pedals of its kind.

The sound is just as good as it's sans amp counterpart but at far less cost. The features include drive, blend, treble, bass and presence eq controls and also a built in ground lift switch for when playing live.

Added to my current set up (which includes an eq, compressor, tube overdrive and a tone pedal) it sounds far fuller and louder than it ever has before.

Although it has a plastic casing it has been quite hard wearing so far and I've had no problems with it up until now, the only reservation I'd had when buying it was that a metal shell would be preferred.

Running on 1 9v battery or off a power bank/power supply it's been a great pedal and is a good addition to a better, controllable bass tone which packs a hell of a lot of volume into such a small pedal.
