About this listing
Condense your bass rig into a stombox with the SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI Pedal by Tech 21.
Using the footswitches you can instantly recall 3 custom presets for
different sounds. Sounds can be created on the fly by adjusting the
pedal's drive, EQ, and level controls, which, when combined with the
SansAmp amplifier emulation, provide a wide array of tonal choices to
cover you on any gig.
100% analog signal path
Digital programmability
For stage and studio applications.
Just tweak the knobs and double-tap a footswitch location to save a setting.
Adding to the pedal's
versatility is the output selection. Having multiple outputs allows for
mixing and matching signal chain options. For example on a live stage,
you can send a balanced DI signal to the mixing board or console while
using the low-Z or parallel 1/4" outputs to route the signal back to
your amp for real-time monitoring. Low-Z outputs can drive long cable
lengths without signal deterioration, ensuring your bass signal arrives
without attenuated high-frequencies or excess noise. For going direct to
a mixing board or studio console, the XLR terminal on the SansAmp Bass
Driver DI outputs a balanced signal and can receive 48V phantom power
from the mixing board or studio console to fully power the pedal and all
of its functions.
Controls
Presence: brings out the upper harmonic content and attack. For a smoother high end and for clean settings, decrease to taste.Drive: adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section of a tube amp is being pushed.Bass & Treble:
Unlike passive controls that only cut, these active tone controls cut
or boost -12dB from unity gain (12 o clock). This powerful EQ section
effectively reduces the need for a fixed frequency mid control and
enables you to achieve an extensive variety of curves --including a
mid-cut as well as a mid-boost.Blend: allows you to blend the direct instrument signal with SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry.Level: adjusts the output level of both the 1/4 and XLR outputs.
Speaker Simulation
Within the tube amplifier emulation circuitry is a speaker
simulator which models a multi-miked bass cabinet. The tonal response is
smooth and precludes the possible peaks, valleys, and notches
associated with single-miking techniques.
"Lazy Pot" Adjustment
This is a safety feature engineered for the Drive and Level
controls. When you "unlock" the EQ settings, for instance, they will
"jump" to the new setting of the knob position. For the Drive and Level
controls, however, this could result in you jumping out of your skin if
they're at a high setting. With the Lazy Pot, there's a gradual increase
to the new setting position, giving you time to turn it down.
Presets
Easily store a preset by double-tapping a channel's
footswitch. When you turn a knob from its stored position, a channel
indicator LED will blink. The slower the blink, the farther away you are
from the preset point, and vice versa. The LED will stop blinking and
remain on at the preset point.
