General

The Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI is a popular, versatile D.I. box and bass guitar preamp. Not only does it allow you to connect your bass guitar directly to a mixer, it also lets you alter it wildly on the way! The Bass Driver D.I. comfortably moves from classic valve sounds to clear, modern tones, grunting distortions and everything in between.

The controls of the Bass Driver D.I.

With the Bass Driver DI, you can use controls for drive (gain and overdrive), presence (definition, higher trebles), blend (balance signal and effect) as well as an active tone control. The pedal features a 6.3mm, XLR and parallel 6.3mm output, to connect it to a bass amplifier or mixer, for instance, for both live and studio applications.

Tips or comments about this product

Apart from a battery or adapter, this pedal can also be powered by phantom power from a mixer, for instance. 24V DC is required, 48V DC is recommended (to power the LED indicator)
In case you use an adapter, please make sure it has a centre-negative 2.1mm connector and produces a minimum of 100 mA. It can be either regulated or unregulated

Wrote the following about Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI

Dit is het pedaal dat iedere bassist zou moeten hebben! Je hoeft het pedaal maar aan te zetten en de sound van je bas klinkt al stukken beter. Je kan naar hartenlust experimenteren met de klank van je gitaar. Het is ook zeer handig omdat je het pedaal kan gebruiken als D.I. box. Het is niet super goedkoop maar zeker zijn geld waard.

Tech21 builds bass amp around the SansAmp pedal: the VT Bass 500

Thursday 2 July 2015

The SansAmp Character series of pedals by American company Tech 21 is highly popular among bass players, thanks to its successful method of emulating the sound of various famous amplifier brands. That got Tech 21 thinking: why not just build a complete bass amp head around one of these famous pedals? And that's exactly what they did! Allow us to introduce the VT Bass 500.
