SansAmp English Muffy

I use the Leeds as a bass preamp all the time and it's great so have been after the Muffy for a while, but haven't seen one in the wild.

I actually have a space on my board that is taken up by either a VTDI or the Leeds depending on whether I'm playing bass or guitar, but sometimes I'm lazy and don't bother switching up between gigs so end up with the Leeds on bass and a backline amp. Adds a bit of pleasant tube drive and compression to any old piece of garbage I might get on the tech rider. The speaker sim is one of the better analog ones I've heard if a bit limited. It also sounds incredible as an overdrive - I love the Tech21 drive circuit anyway but the Leeds gets super nasty without being brittle or thin. Having two of them footswitchable would be the dog's proverbial.
 
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but Sweetwater is blowing these out at $100. I went and pick one up just to have a back up DI.
No need to apologize-I had ordered it already four days before your post on October 30. It's a great preamp for both guitar and bass, and worth mentioning the huge sale, as it's pretty high quality; the Muff section sounds great, and the emulation is awesome. This pedal shouldn't be this cheap, and could be someone's only "amp." Love it!

Despite the initial misgivings of the OP in this old thread, it was designed "for guitar" but obviously works well with bass, as did the original amps-at least IME and HO. Just gotta explore how the knobs best interact with one's bass, amp/cab, and musical needs.
 
I have just ordered one myself...
