Sansamp Tech21 RPM Rack Bass Preamp, Can It Do Clangy?

Hell yes.
The parametric mids are before the tube emulation so you poke a good 1.5k into it you'll get plenty snarly, clank.
If you can't find one to try then maybe a nearby music shop might have the sansamp para driver which is basically a smaller foot pedal variation.
In my book the RPM is better than the RBI / VTBass / bass driver. Better drive. More flexible. Best at that Grindy midrange.
I used to run 2 of them in a rack and it worked a treat.

Can you get that awesome clanky,clangy sound from the RPM? Also can you get that wicked Overkill DD Verni Bass sound like off the W.F.O. album?

Clanky sound is achievable with amp alone.

[/quote]yes I know this, my mistake I should of added the fact that I want to use it for headphone use too, without the amp. A lot of times i practice too late for amp in cab use, so I run my Bass through my rack effects then into Tascam for headphone use and without the amp I just can't quite get that perfect clank sound so adding the RPM should do it, right?
