I've been playing in lots of different places lately, and I'd like to have a pedal which I can just take and plug into the effects loop with my settings already there, instead of plugging directly into the amps and mess around with the eq when looking for my tone. I've seen pedals like the Tech 21 Qstrip. any other suggestions?
You didn't state your budget, so I'll say a Noble pre/DI... Ran solo or into an amp its amazing!! Plus it can power your effects I loved it so much, that after having to sell my first one I got a second
If you are into "vintage" tones I would think the Programmable Bass Driver would be your deal. TECH 21 - Bass Driver Programmable, SansAmp, Bass Driver, Bass Pedal
I know that one, it sounds great, but it's a really large pedal, I'm looking for something I can just throw into my gig Bag
It all depends on what you do, if it is one General sound all night then the Zoom MS60 might do the trick. Works for me when I am just doing a few songs or a set. My usual minimum is still my Zoom B2.1u.
