Product information Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver. Always thinking of our fat-stringed brethren, we had to make a 3-channel, programmable, rig-in-a-box for bassists who can’t get enough of a great thing.

About this product

Product Information

The Tech 21 NYC SansAmp Bass Driver DI pedal makes for a fine addition to your show gear. For musicians who wish to enhance their sound, it provides solid effects quickly and easily. Electric basses are inherently difficult to hear because the pitch is so low. With this preamp, however, your instrument is the star of the show. Funky slap tones or traditional pitches are available at the flick of a switch and the press of a pedal. You can distort your sound with the SansAmp driver when an intense tune is on the lineup. When you’re playing something chill, you can tone it down with subtle rhythms. This classic pedal offers several different features, including distortion and tone changes. The Tech 21 SansAmp DI includes three different outputs. This way you can enhance your existing rig or drive external components like PA mixers, recording desks, or power amps. It comes with built-in sample style settings. These emulate sounds from acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and other acoustic and electric instruments.The driver includes knobs for Level, Blend, Presence, Bass, Treble, and Drive controls. Level controls the output levels from the 1/4 inch and XLR outputs. Blend lets you mix the bass guitar signal directly with the built-in SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation technology. This is especially helpful when using the unit with an instrument that has Piezo pickups. Simply activate this tube amp emulation tech with the unit's footswitch. Presence adjusts the upper harmonic content and definition of the tone. Drive modifies the overall overdrive and gain structure. The active EQ controls let you cut and boost levels up to +/- 12 dB. These have been specifically tuned for bass guitars. A bass shift button allows you to further switch this frequency between 40 Hz and 80 Hz.This effects box won the 2008 and 2009 Bass Player Reader's Choice Award. This version, Version 2, is a more advanced incarnation of the Version 1 SansAmp distortion effects pedals. It was produced in response to the growing popularity of basses with five and even six strings. It has features that allow basses with more strings to take advantage of effects accessories. This version features an additional mid-level control knob. It also has its own Mid Shift button to change frequencies between 500 Hz and 1,000 (1 kHz).With included output ports for your amp and mixing console, this SansAmp audio solution provides all-in-one assistance accessories. On the right of the driver is the input as well as a parallel out. There are two additional outputs on the left side of the chassis. These are a 10 dB 1/4 inch out and a phantom and ground connect XLR out. These connectivity options lend flexibility to the device. The unit weighs 14 ounces, and measures 4.75 inches by 3.75 inches by 2 inches. There are several ways to power the unit. It is phantom power operable. Alternatively, you can use either an optional DC power supply or a 9V alkaline battery. A red indicator light lets you know when the pedal is powered.

Very nice tones!
This is a bass pedal with very nice adjustable EQ & memory bank. Tone adjustments are so easy & you can save it quickly for use according to the type of music you want to use it to. After looking at several YouTube videos, I decided to buy this one & it never disappointed me. Have one & witness it yourself first hand!

Too much noise
Every time I plugged this into my Tech 21 Bass DI, it created a great amount of noise in the audio. It is possibly that it is endemic of this particular product and version (or my particular unit) of the Bass DI, so I can't say conclusively that it will be a problem for you. For the price, it may be worth the gamble to find out.

Really good, could be better
The Good: Most everything you read about in the reviews - sound, ease of use, functionality, flexibility, etc. The Bad: (1) The XLR out maxes at 0 dB, which means that you have to find a way to goose the signal to +4 dB if you want to record directly into a pro recorder. (2) Sans Amp should include a DC power source in the deal, rather than have the owner either (a) use a 9v battery (ugh) or (b) try to guess what kind of power source to buy (and what size insert connection).

Brutal
Great pedal, have wanted one for a while. Can get a pretty good tone for bass taking the DI straight into a computer or PA, can use it to take a dry signal for reamping guitar or bass, can load it in front of a bass amp to tweak a really properly good distorted bass tone. Delivery was quick and price was great.

Great sound and my ears love it.
What can I say, from the small amount of pedals I own this is the only one that gets used all the time (I never turn it off). Just this week I left my pedals at the rehearsel room so I had to plug my guitar straight into my amp and I just stopped playing cause my bass sounded so dull ... lifeless ... In my ears this pedal really brings my rig to life: when switching it on I can immediately get that deep and punchy mid ranged sound (it does cut some mids but I compensate this by adding a 3-4dB boost in the low-mid section), whenever this pedal is on my solid-state amp sounds like a tube amp, incredible (ofcourse it's not the real thing but man what a difference!). Another thing it does is bring my other effects to life: when I run my Little Big Muff without the BBDI it sounds very 'superficial' but when the Sansamp is on it roars! If this were stolen or if it broke down I would certainly buy a new one or upgrade to the 3 selector version.Read full review
