thumperbob 2002 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hi All Just bought a sansamp programmable bass driver from another basschatter. I cannot believe how well this sounds- it is the sound I have had in my head for years but strangely never 100% achieved. So simple to use too. Sounds massive- deep and clear. My ashdown little giant 1000 ( that I was really sceptical about re- its power ) absolutely kills with massive headroom. I am going straight into the effects return. Hesitate to think what my LM2 sounds like. Cheeers Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 One of those forms the nerve centre of my pedal board. I also use one of Umph's true-bypass looper units as an emergency cut-out switch. Anything bizarre or noisy starts to happen on stage, I can stomp the bypass box and I'm instantly back to Sansamp BDDI --> amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Me too. Sounds great through Happy Jack's rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I love mine, had it for a few years now, would not gig without it. I love knowing that I can go pretty much anywhere, and just plug my pedalboard into the effects return of whatever backline is there, and get a decent sound. It is truly a brilliant pedal.

grimbeaver Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 why through the effects loop? I run mine in line I have a wireless, tuner, distortion then the sansamp, would you put the lot through the loop? the x5 wireless is a stomp box and sits in my effects box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplest way- the Sansamp sounds so good I dont think you would need any further EQ and the signal from this surely is too hot for an amps pre?

Mind you, that's a very nice valve pre and I wouldn't want to bypass it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrush threepwood Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Really glad you're enjoying it Bob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've got a lot of pedals at the moment, but if I decided to simplify, I would probably buy a Deluxe Bass Driver, keep my TU-2 and my MultiComp and add an M9. Seems like a great pedal, that Bass Driver, happy with my M-80 atm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I dug out my Behringer BDI21 (BDDI clone) just before Christmas and i too was amazed at how it improved my tone. I'd only ever used it once before, at a gig where i didnt have a rig but we hired a large PA. Its not used on all the time but ill either have it on or off for a whole song. I run Bass - Wireless - BDI - SA450 or LMII using the input. I dont tend to mess with it once its set up so i dont really want a programmable one but i would like to try the Paradriver at some point.

Done on my Roland 1680- lovely warm tone. Thanks Pal Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
