Great tone (as does the Sadowsky) but the sweepable mid frequency gives it a leg up, as does the grit you can get with the drive/blend.
It is so much more a "swiss army knife" than the others.
The Hartke??? Please . . . its almost a joke.

Personally, I use the M-80, but I'm sure that the Tone Hammer would kill it. |

I use MXR-80 as well, but I am very interested in linking up with D Hall VT1-EQ Bass di-pre.
I have used my MXR-80 now for 2 years, and it's ok for me, but I know there is something out there (DI-PRE) waiting for me.
Now I was using the Hartke pre DI back about 3 years ago, and I did not like it AT ALL!
I honestly think you should at least cruise on down to your local music instrument shop and have a test drive of the other DI-Pre's you mentioned here.
And I won't knock you because you are diggin' on the Hartke. What ever floats your boat.
Have fun!
