Can a Fulltone Bassdrive drive a power amp?

[csholtmeier]

I've got one on the way and I'm curious.

[Toasted]

Probably, it has alot of boost... I dont know what the output impedance is.

I wouldn't count on it - it's not a designated preamp so you can't EXPECT it but you can try.

[bongomania]

Right, the boost is strong but the impedance is probably way off. Also it depends on the input sensitivity of the power amp

[csholtmeier]

What about Bassdrive->DI 1/4"->power amp?

[Toasted]

The right DI, should. Yes.

[csholtmeier]

What would be the right DI?

[dirtgroove]

Sansamp? sound wise they complement each other incredibly well. the mid boost of the fulltone sets the BDDI on fire... ...well not literally but it does sound rather magnificent.

[bongomania]

A DI will only be an improvement if it also has a line-level output. Some do, but most don't. I guess converting the signal to balanced is some improvement, but doesn't solve the signal level or impedance issues (generally speaking).
