Love this little bass box!! If you're tired of not truly "hearing" yourself on stage, this is for you, especially if you play direct. It gives you every possible tone you're looking for and even provides sample bass tones from well-known bassists in the instructions. The guitar player in my group even said, "I can actually hear you now." Felt great to hear that after months of being unable to hear myself. At home, this little guy really pumps up the sound coming out of my Hartke. All I can say is, I agree with all the positive reviews here. This little box is worth every penny. Thank you, Tech 21 and Sweetwater for brightening my bass player days ahead!! :)

Well, we'd say it's a great alternative to an amp when you run direct, and it can help make a good amp sound great, but it probably won't make a bad-sounding amp sound good. Thanks for watching!

There's no shame in asking questions )
This pedal is a preamp, it means that you can use it with another device called power amp, then you have a complete bass amp. A power amp gives power&watts, a preamp gives a tone.Now this pedal is also a DI ( direct input) it means you can plug the bass on the input of this pedal then you take the output straight to the mixboard, a PA system.
now, this pedal can also work as regular stampbox, you can put it in effects loop of your amp to overdrive the sound

This is by far my most favorite bass pedal for punk and rock style music. This thing by itself makes almost any bass sound huge and crisp. But when inline with an amp is where it really shines. Definitely a great pedal for any bass player or project studio engineer to have in their arsenal to help achieve a better bass sound.

This pedal rocks! You can use it for any situation and it will give a bass rig a better sound. Every bassist should have one. It is the best pedal you can buy for the money.

this is the best explanation of the controls I've heard so far

I'm 13 me and my dad watch this every morning before school

I wanna hear a pedal demo once before I die where the clean tone doesn't sound like a tin can.

I've owned this pedal for years now and it's truly a game changer. I have an Ibanez bass that doesn't have the best tone on its own, but the pedal makes it glow with thick buttery tone. If it can make my cheapo bass sound great, it can make any bass sound great (good bassist required)

My whole rig is an MXR bass compressor and a SansAmp. I've used it in front of many audiences for 16 years and it's always good. I can get pretty close to a real amp tone but only bring my bass and a little bag to a venue... It's convenient, reliable, and sounds good! No lugging an amp around ever!!! Just show up with bass around my back and plug in... Love it.

I use Fender 4x10 cab and Mesa Big Block 750 amp. I use an active bass and the music is some kind metalcore :) The Mesa amp alone produces an incredible sound, but this Bass Driver takes it even further. This thing sounds unbelievable to me when I need a little distorted, compressed, big wall-like metal sound for live shows. I highly recommend this for everybody.

I love products that are simple to use, simple straightforward design and really sound and work great! Thanks for making a uselful product!

[carrawitt]

This pedal will even make a crappy old bass guitar sound great. The best bass pedal ever which IMO every bassist MUST have.

[warrenmorphis]

Yeah...there's more expensive bass pedals out here - and some sound good...but THIS right here, has the great sound every "on-a-budget bassist" can appreciate!. Built like a small to use... I never head to a gig without it! Some of the best gear money I ever spent. Period.

Best explanation of Sansamp I've seen. Not everybody understands it

[jeffreypwright]

We use all tech 21 products, no amps anymore. I use the programmable bass DI, Guitar player uses a Tri-A.C. and drummer uses V drums. Loudest thing behind the mains is a string breaking.
check it out!
Ive got vids of what it sounds like direct from the board on my page.
