Hey all, I searched
Does anyway have any sound samples of the SansAmp Programable Bass Driver? I am seriously looking at purchasing one - wanting it to add some dirt/grit what ever you call it to my tone (think John Myungs tone from Systematic Chaos [Constant Motion/Dark Eternal Night]).
Any help will be much appreciated!
Cheers.

I have got the programmable deluxe, and easily can get close those sounds - even with the factory setups, like full tube, vst, slap, my three fav. to playing Myung stuff, but depends how you play and what instrument are you using. Mainly using this pedal for practice with headphone amp and in ear monitor with balanced xlr cable, smoothing out your bass. Or live, at "no-amp" gig. I think Myung using lot of tone mixed with tubey sound and clear DI mixed at least 50-50% and very balanced maytbe compression help, but with balanced out you will be OK. With the PBDDI, you can get clear and tubey tones, and both sounds good for that prog rock. If I using with my amp (Mesa M-pulse), only using the Sansamp's parallel out, and sending the signal from my amp DI post out, not altering my amp tone, and that case the Sansamp transforms to a backup ampi-DI, if my amp dies on stage.
Unfortunatelly I do not have any sound sample, but when I got my programmable Sansamp I was surprised how sounds good in the headphones the factory setups, previously I used the simple version and never tried to tweek the knobs for the given factory setups in the manual, I thought I know what tone I want and like, but now constantly using the factorys, but I got my old sansamp tone saved in one channel from the six! |

Thoughts?

i use mine in the fx loop which already bypasses the EQ, its really amazing (i have the 3ch.) i can use the 1/4 out to my amp as a mont. and send the xlr to the sound guy for mains

I love it, I can get just the tone I want from it. But I think if it had one more channel, it would be a lot better. But deff. worth the money. |
