Features

  • Capable Of: Much more than just a direct box, the SansAmp Bass Driver DI is capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions, and all in between
  • Three Different Outputs: Three different outputs to drive power amps, recording desks, PA mixers, or simply enhance your currentrig
  • Controls: Controls include Presence for definition and upper harmonic content; Blend to combine the proportion of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry, and active EQ specifically tuned for bass with 12dB of cut or boost
  • Adjust Bass Frequency: With the popularity of 5 and 6-string basses going beyond fad status and becoming mainstream, a switch is added to adjust the bass frequency to extend into those lower registers
  • Mid Range Control: Mid-range control and a switch are also added to adjust its frequency

  • This thing is incredible.
I am new to playing bass. This pedal was highly recommended in a bass players group that I am part of. I have a Fender Rumble 500 which has been raku good to me. Adding this pedal took it to the next level. The tones that you can achieve are next level. You can't go wrong with this pedal. It looks great, sounds great and the price can't be beat. ... show more

  • THIS, THIS, THIS!!
This is the industry standard for a reason. When you're a bass player that wants to have complete control over what's going to the PA but also need your own stage monitoring because everybody else complains when too much bass overloads the monitors? Plus, many of the other issues bass players are trying to resolve quickly and efficiently so they can get to the bar while the guitar player is still futzing around with their setup. My main board consists of Tuner > HPF (High Pass Filter) > FX Loop Pedal > SansAmp SansAmp DI goes to the board, the 1/4" Out goes the FX Loop Return on my amp head with 15" Cabinet for stage monitoring. My stage monitoring tells me exactly what's being delivered to the PA. The sound person can mix accordingly with little fuss. I looked at several other preamps and they were either too busy, or didn't have enough preamp control. Just get this. It's the right tool for the job. Will make your life a ton easier, as well as the person running the board at your venue. ... show more

  • Excellent cab emulation
I have my pedal board set up as so I can play as a one-man band including the ability to use my guitar to Loop bass lines. I had been initially just dropping the octave with a whammy pedal and running that into the PA through a passive DI box. I came to realize that the sound, while passable for a bass tone, needed an increased signal level because I was having to turn the gain up so much, but getting a lot of noise with that. I started looking at active DI's, but then elected to go with this pedal which provides cabinet emulation. I'm so glad I chose this route. It has vastly improved the bass tone I am getting in addition to providing the appropriate signal level. Highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Best gear purchase in years
We use a rack mount version of this at our church but this is the ultimate gig machine for going into the board direct. I play a high value custom Warwick 5 string and the tones this produces are tight, smooth, and punchy. If you want to dial up other tones, its easy. With a few knob adjustments I get dang near the same tones across the spectrum from my back up bass which is a hot rodded Sire P7 5 string. I'd recommend it to anyone sick of lugging around amp gear to shows where the house has a good system. Background--been playing for 35 years. Everything from Hawaiian reggae, to rock, to country, to metal, to blues. This thing is a tone monster and sound guys love it. ... show more

  • My favorite pedal
I bought this a while back and it has become my favorite pedal. The range is extremely versatile. I use it for live bass. It can also be run directly into the soundboard with an xlr cable. This thing sounds incredible. Love it.

  • Poor packaging for shipping
When I received this pedal it was just thrown in an empty box with no additional packaging to prevent it from moving around during shipping. As a result when I received the pedal the footswitch was not working properly. Once I did a little online research i decided to try and take it apart and see what was going on, there is a little spring that connects to the footswitch button that had become disloged ( probably do to the poor packaging used for shipping). Using a screwdriver I was able to repair the pedal and it works great now ... show more

  • The sound crew will love you.
Such a great preamp. I had been relying on direct boxes supplied by the soundcrew when I played small gigs, typically they are basic and you don’t know how they will impact your sound; no more. I broke down and spent the money to buy this, so happy I did. And every time I use I get smiles from the sound crew. A great purchase. ... show more
