I use one subtely, it is a good bass drive pedal, from mild growl to full on distortion, not my thing, works great with Class D bass amps to give them a tubey tone, got mine for £60 on Gear4Music's web-site but they were hurt as it's price was now £120 but i had already bought it...lol

I ended up buying an extra DI box, the AEA TDI DI mono box, 50ohm XLR output, 48v phantom power, very low noise floor, sounds fantastic, hi-end DI with -20db pad, sheilded Lehle (German) transformer, fantastic for bass as well as most instruments, some guy & his band recorded a cover version of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" using just the AEA TDI, very impressed, neautral, transparent with a tight low bottom end with no audable noise, sells for £299 but got mine for £192, well pleased.....

Try not to buy to cheap, unless an active bass an active DI is better for passive bass's, Warm make a fantastic mic level multi instrument active DI, 48v Phantom Power, has a level pot for your DI output, very useful, & has a high quality transformer for a better, cleaner sound, works on many instruments from bass to keyboards, guitar, anything needing a good DI signal, Sushi Box Finally V3 DI has a real 12AX7 tube, variable LPF, real RoHS transformer, very handy well made tube DI for bass guitar, i carry a spare active NU-X MLD Pre-amp/DI pedal & a new 9v battery connector to 2.1mm power input incase of a power break & a spare back-up...great switching options & can be used as a re-amp box with a built in drum machine & 3.5mm headphone input, 3.5mm stereo input for your phone or other 3.5mm music player for practise, it can be used as a bass Pre-amp/DI box or just a good direct DI, very good quality.....

I wish Ampeg had put a swichable cab amp sim toggle switch on the amp & the footswitch for the DI like on the Ampeg SGT pre-amp/DI pedals...shame as a decent DI but no on/off cab sim which would have been nice...a 1 x 15" for the B-15 voicing & the mighty 8 x 10 for the SVT voicing would have been the cherry on the top....suprised no cab sim option...does anyone know the DI's output impedence ? for sound quality you want it 75ohms - 100ohms..as low as possible for long DI cable runs...sounds good but not cheap for class D....would have preferred a class A/B topology
