I wasn’t getting the tone I was after with the Stomp so I bought the SGT DI. The Stomp is cool but the SGT DI does the Ampeg thing better. Still use the Stomp tho. 
 

apologies for the psychedelic carpet! 

 

Nice looking board 😎

I like mine. I have SGT circuit set on SVT at 9 0 clock with Ultra Lo engaged (which is only a 2db boost - it's mainly a mid-scoop). I EQ from there. The problem now is going back to another DI sounds quite anaemic.

Yep, sounds cracking. At rehearsals Guitarists in band have mentioned it has better oomph and sounds better than my Genz Benz amp. That’s plugged in to effects return on  provided amp.

Reassuring this thread as I’ve now ordered for the second time the SGT-DI pedal !

 

I sold mine as I was gigging the Ampeg V4B and didn’t need it however all my heavy Ampeg gear has gone and I’m playing light class D heads and MarkBass cabs I needed an Ampeg tone in a box.

 

I will run this into the front of the Orange Little Bass Thing which is a pretty clean amp with decent compressor. The SGT will give me better EQ range for pick playing a PBass and a bit of grit for the rockier songs. Plus it’s a DI so will act as a backup to my amp in case of amp issues during a gig. 
Nearly went for the Venture V7 amp but it’s twice the price of the SGT and I didn’t need a new amp just improved tone and EQ / Grit

Makes good sense, easier than taking along a second amp, plus from what I understand the SGT-DI has cab simulation so if needed through PA you can quickly get yourself where you need to be sound wise.
