Ampeg pre or DI

[bassjamm]

Hello everyone,

Right, bit of a dilemma?

I'm wanting something to add some valvey goodness to my rig, but also to warm up my recordings a bit. Now ideally whatever I get would be great for bass, guitar and vocals, but that's a big ask considering I'd like to use it for my bass rig too.

So I'm thinking about the SVT DI or something like the SVP Pro, BSP or CL. I've owned a SVP Pro in the past which I liked. The thing is, I quite like the idea of something smallish like the SVT DI that I can take more or less wherever I go, but I also like the idea of a pre-amp that will give me that lovely Ampeg tone and drive.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Jamie
