Tech21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI or Behringer Bass V-Amp/V-Amp Pro Everyone loves the Sansamp, but the Behringer seems to have rather impressive modelling capabilities, and I could also get rid of some of my pedals if the onboard effects are good wnough..What do you think?
I tried my BVAP as preamp. I was disappointed by the results. I ran it thru a Legion Sound PX-600 amp, A Legion Sound 2x10 and a X-audio 2x10. The sound was noisy and thin, no body. I don't think it really a preamp as much as its an effects processor. As a processor, its a kick; as a preamp its a kick in the neck.
Uhh, looking at all that cheap gear you play through, I don't think the problem was entirely the V-amps fault.
You're comparing apples and oranges there. if you need some programability, but sansamp tone try the tech21 psa-1. I have an RBI (rack version of the DI) check out the samples at www.tech21nyc.com good luck
OK, tried this: BVAP>Trace Elliot AH300(line input)>Hartke 4.5 & Basson B15b. Same thin sound with excessive noise. Tried cheap rig with a mixer replacing BVAP; works fine with no noise, full response. Sorry, but this thing is NOT a pre-amp, its a effect processor. How are you using yours? As preamp or processor?
I just picked up the RBI last Thursday to go with my Crown CE1000 and had to use it on gigs Friday and Saturday... Sounded great and I really didn't have the manual for those sample settings until last night (d'loaded them), when I got a chance to mess around with it. I found mine for $150 used, but in great condition. I think that it is pretty versatile and some interesting tones you can get... I'll probably have more to report after I have messed with it for a while.
