  • Great DI with amp simulation
Great DI with so many ways to make live shows and recording easier

  • Bass recording solution
Remarkable sounding professional recording solution for bass guitar. I'm using a Yamaha TRBX304 to record and I was genuinely surprised how well the recorded bass sits in the mix. I'm a guitarist who needed a way to record bass in my home studio and this more than fits the bill. Before I got this my recorded bass was okay but I had trouble getting it to sit clearly in the mix. It would sound okay solo, but indistinct and just a lot of undefined low end with all the other tracks playing. This made the difference. Haven't tried but I suspect it would work well on a live gig direct through the PA. ... show more

  • My new favorite pedal
This has quickly become my favorite bass pedal in my collection. It pairs well with just about every other effect I have and adds a whole new dimension to the sound. If you play bass with distortion, you will find this especially handy. The EQ segment of this pedal thickens up your sound adding definition to a distorted signal so it's more musical and less "fizzy bass." This paired with a Proco Rat and a treble boost makes for a great Justin Chancellor-esque tone. While its effect is, in my opinion, much less pronounced with a clean signal it still adds depth to the sound. This pedal will also provide a creamy powertube style distortion if you crank the drive a bit. My personal preference is to keep the drive dial at about 11 o'clock and use another distortion pedal for a heavy sound while the Sansamp on its own just warms up the clean tone a bit. I haven't played without this pedal on since it arrived. On top of all of this, the DI out makes recording super easy. If your interface provides phantom power, you can use it to power the pedal as well. I haven't bothered fussing with micing my cabinet since I got this. Definitely recommended if either you do your own recordings or want a distorted bass sound that doesn't sound awful. ... 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
