If you're going to use the BFR as your main preamp, I think you'll be fine.
Does anyone use footswitch buttons? I am thinking on the SH-1 and YYZ Shapeshifter in particular. My recon tell me it is an 11mm switch (as opposed to 10 mm) w/ less height than normal. I am curious what -- purchased or dyi -- y'all might be using?
The switches feel fine, but the pedals are going to the second row on my board and I need a little more area to hit them.

A little OT, but if you search Tech21 on the ebog, it seems to be the name of a maker of cell phone cases ...
That's funny! I just noticed that last night when looking for some random Tech 21 pieces...
Given the people performing here, I assume there’s Tech 21 gear involved. Sounds great!
Anyone here using an RBI into a stereo power amp for their live gig setup?
How do you like the RBI?
I’ve saved up the money for one, and I intend to use it with my Yamaha PX5 power amp into my Mesa Powerhouse 610.
The only Sansamp item that I own is a GED-2112, which I also power with my PX5 into a pair of Mesa Powerhouse 212 cabinets. It’s seriously an earth shattering rig, that I absolutely love.
The RBI will allow me the ability to run a single cabinet.

I'm now a pedals guy, but the RBI became my favorite preamp for overdrive back when I was rack rigging.
Anyone run a Tech 21 BDDI, VT, Paradriver, SH1, dUg, etc. PEDAL (not rack gear) as their main/only preamp tone shaper into a power amp or into an amplifier fx return, bypassing the amps own preamp? Just curious to see how many, if anyone does this. I did many years ago with a BDDI and a Mackie power amp. Thought about going that route again.
Yep, Ive ran an SH1, Street Driver 48, BDDI and a YYZ each individually into the effects return of various amps with great success. Always had amazing tone and responsiveness from anything Tech 21.
The manuals for all the pedals suggest doing what you describe. I only have experience with the SH-1 and it works great.
I am using a landmark 300 into an 810. I will also use a second 810. To do this, preamp out if landmark into fx return of a gk 400rb into 810
All the discussion about the XB while we wait for supply chain issues to resolve has me revisiting the manuals for the other Sansamps. I’m curious now about the programmable Bass Driver. I’m a fan of simple functionality. I’m guessing the fixed mid at 750 and presence knob covers a lot of useful territory.
Anyone gigging with one now?

Totally loving my sh1. I started with the geezer setting and have tweaked it from there.
