SOLD FOR $135
Hi all,
Well, as much as this was indisposable when I bought it 2 years ago, it has become a great gadget that I no longer use, mostly because I now use flats on both my basses.

So up for sale goes this immaculate, and I mean immaculate, Sansamp BDDI. This is the newer model with the 2 switches for line/instrument for your xlr and for your output.

This unit looks brand new, literally. I am totally obsessive with my gear, and I couldn't bear to step on something I paid almost $200 for, so it always sat by itself in the front of my padded gig bag for the rides to gigs and practices, and right on top of my rack case at gigs. It had a thin velcro strip on the bottom that held it in place. I removed that. EDIT: I removed the adhesive residue completely with some WD-40, so now the unit looks "as new!"

First $140 gets it and its AC power cord. Shipped to lower 48 only, please. Thanks for looking!

Got some interest, but I am holding to my price for now. I think its fair, given the low mileage and condition of the pedal. But as always, the market dictates the true value...

Sorry, lower 48 only. Trying to keep this one really simple.

Argh! Why is it that just when I buy something new that a great used version is then available?

Considering that this comes with the "optional" power adapter (I always use them) this is a good deal.

Thanks! I think its a pretty good deal too. Kills me that the power cord was "optional" since I use it all the time too.

For those that might be wondering if this box is for you, here are a couple things to consider. I stopped using it when I went to flats. I also found it less necessary when I was taught how to more properly use my eq settings on my amp.

I found it most useful in situations that I was not using my own amp, I could just plug this unit in to whatever rig I was using, and I could dial in my own sound. Also, if you are using a smaller cab, or maybe a cab with, say, 10" speakers, but you want to get a fatter tone, this unit can really help you do that. I liked taking it to rehearsals so I could get a fat tone out of the smaller rehearsal rig at our practice space.

And if you play a lot through a PA, the DI function on this box is nice, gets a nice tone. I found that I used it just for that sometimes, without even turning the box on. You'll find that even in the "off" position, the DI is not totally transparent, but in a good way. I found it did not really color the tone, but more it boosted the signal. Not a whole lot, but enough to notice. Our sound guy liked the box a lot, and he was not always a fan of the direct out in my amp, so I knew if the BDDI did not sound good or was problematic he would tell me.

I never really tried to use it as a pre-amp so I can't speak to that.

Taking offers. I am interested also in a set of Fralin or Lollar pups for P bass if you want to talk trade.

PM's replied. This unit is now in "as new" condition since I got the remaining adhesive residue off. The residue was on the back, left over from velcro I had used.
