This is the most important piece of gear you could ever own.This will make the worst rig sound great and the best rig sound better.Don't waste your money on effects pedals and tube heads.Get this and the cheapest solid state head you can find.People will think you're using an svt2.Trust me,you need this.

bass rig in a box!?!

I tried this box out at a bass store and I thought it was versatile.You can play anything on it and sounds awesome. Its perfect for R&B,rock, metal,funk, really the only thing im not too sure it can do is grind bass(super distorted bass)it has lots of gain to give but i didnt tweak on it too much.I would recommend to try it and buy it. Just to make sure its not defective or if it doesnt have enough gain.

Bought this little box 6 months ago and won't play without it. Very nice preamp for the size and money, oh and sound men love it. If you're not happy with your sound try this before getting a new rig, you'll be surprised.

Just sold my Sansamp on ebay and bought a BDI21 from Behringer which is identical to the Sansamp for 29 USD and even comes with an balanced XLR DI output. Hate it when I get ripped off.

worth the hype!

So I've had the Para DI and didnt like it. I thought the SABDDI hoopla was just hype. But you see this little box everywhere. Just makes you wonder. Someone got it for me and I reluctantly plugged it in to my MB LMII. I now understand! For someone who is VERY much against modeling, or "fake" when it comes to audio this box is a rare exception. NO bass player should be w/o one. . . I used it on an acoustic guitar gig too, worked out nicely!
