V-Tone Bass BDI21 : Best bang for the buck

The Behringer V-Tone Bass BDI 21 is a cheap alternative to the much higher priced Tech 21 Sans Amp Bass Driver. I use it with a Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass that has been modded with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, plugged into a Kustom DE 300H sitting on an Ampeg SVT 810 cab. It does a nice job, adding just a little bit of dirt treble, using the presence control. Thus, it lets the bass cut through the mix much easier, if you have to compete with two rather fat sounding, overdriven guitars in a "loud" genre such as punk, hardcore, etc.

Compared to the Tech 21 pedal, the Behringer gets pretty harsh, if you use high amounts of gain, so I don't like it for heavily distorted bass sounds. If you don't need that - go for it!
