Sadowsky SBP-1 - Bass Preamp / DI

Nothing spectacular

Tuner Out stopped working one year after purchase. There was a period of time prior to that when the pedal was making a sizzling noise, eventually one of the Outs died. Never gigged, was just laying on top of my rack at home. The sound is actually ok, but to keep it from distorting I had to turn the volume down to 8-9 o'clock position. That's with a fully passive 4-stringer. The pedal is also very heavy which was not bothering me too much as I was only using it at home but would be a concern when gigging.

I will be selling it soon and will go for Rheingold BP2.

Awesome Sleeper Preamp

There are so many choices on the market, endless options, and while this had a quite a bit of buzz at one point, it seems to have fallen out of favor due to other pedals with more options. As a player for 30+ years I can tell you that simple is almost always better. This pedal does exactly what it should and does it well. No pedal will make you play better but this one gives you everything you need to play your best.
