Leave your rig at home and go live through the PA!

The Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI is a 3-channel, programmable rig-in-a-box similar to the TRI-A.C. for guitar, but made for bassists. The all-analog circuitry features drive, bass, treble, presence, blend, and level controls. Digital only in its programmability, you just tweak the knobs until you find a tone, double-tap on a footswitch, and it's saved in that channel. Works great on stage or in the studio. Rugged all-metal construction. Operates via a 9V alkaline battery, phantom power, or the optional Tech 21 DC2 power supply. 7.25"L x 5"W x 2"H. 25 oz.

I bought this pedal because of all of the reviews you see on this site and in forums. Believe everything you hear about this pedal. It is flat out amazing. You can get about any tone you want out of this and it makes your gear sound amazing even if you just leave it on 'fat tube'

I am seldom impressed with technology but once in a while, I find something that really blows everything else out of the water. I ordered the SansAmp 3-Channel Bass Driver DI based on research and customer reviews. I needed something that would give me great sound and the ability to switch between sounds without messing with knobs on my amp. The Bass Driver DI completely fulfills this requirement and is easy to use. I could not believe how much better my bass and amp sounded. I programmed one channel for a good classic rock sound, the second channel for blues, and the third channel is reserved for experimenting with my own sounds. I used it at an outdoor gig last weekend. I ran the DI into my amp and it sounded amazing. The great thing about the SansAmp is I can leave my bass amp at home if there is a PA. Forget hauling the heavy amp around. This thing is built like a tank so I expect it will last. I am 100 percent satisfied with this purchase and I will never play my bass without my SansAmp.

3 different tones = Awesome.

This is my first review even though I own many basses, amps, and pedals - I was prompted to do so because this pedal rules. I just bought a SWR Redhead but needed a pedal to provide a good overdrive/distortion tone for use on Tool-like songs. This pedal did the trick - I have 3 patches programmed with 3 different levels of distortion and EQ. I play a Warwick Streamer and a Corvette through this rig and can get a lot of top-end prescence with this pedal without all of the excess treble that blows your tweeter. You can dial in the right amount of grit and then save your settings. Put it in your FX loop and use it for soloing or whenever you need a boost to cut through the mix, then tap it off when you go back to the quieter melodies. Perfect.

Love My SansAmp

I've owned mine about a year now and used it to do everything from preamp a bass head, drive a power amp, or even just a directbox and it does it all very well. I use a Fender "Geddy Lee" Jazz bass and found the Fat Tube and SVT style settings work best for me. When my band plays gigs where FOH sound is provided, I just take the BassDriver and ask to be put in the monitor mix. No more hauling my amp! And soundmen love these things. The Sans Amp sounds great, is well built, has nice features and fits in my gigbag. Love it!

Didn't do the job for me

I bought this in search of a good overdrive tone. The claim of yielding SVT sounds attracted me first. Eventhough it has a huge variety of tones, they all lack the mids that are so important for me at gigs. The presence does add presence but in a way to make your brighter and louder not the same way the mids get you cut thru. Three programmable tones is unique in the market. I wish they had concentrated on the mid frequency shaping in this unit.
