Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI video

[tech21nyc]

Hi all. We have posted a YouTube clip of this pedal to demonstrate some of the various tones that it is capable of. We would also be interested to know what type of clips that "you" would like to hear.

You're clipping the signal on some of those examples. Not a good way to show the tone if you're distorting it on mixdown.

But I use my Bass Driver to do a lot of recording and it always sound great.

Nice sounds. Yeah, the BDDI receives alot of flack, but still has some killer tones, as you have demonstrated.

I sold mine and got the VT deluxe.

Some of the examples were meant to show the overdrive capabilities of the pedal. Please note on the distorted clips the drive level is turned up past noon and the level is turned down. There is no distortion being created by the recording device.

I was looking for one of these videos almost 2 years ago!

 

[totalimmortal08]

I'd like the see the kings x setting.

I don't know but that was a crazy chop in a stone cold kinda way!

 

[Terracite]

For us that have no chance of trying before buying, these videos are awesome. Keep'em coming!

I'd love an in-depth with the Leeds on bass.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I'd love it if you came out with a VT in a BDDI enclosure - with the DI, of course.

 

[BroKenSticKs]

I'd like to see a good demonstration of the red ripper personally.

I have the programmable version of this exact pedal. It is one of the best investments I've ever made. Really adds a nice ballsy tone to any rig.

 

[BrentSimons]

Nice!!!,
How about an "official" demo of the RBI, RPM and the PSA-1 all with bass.
PS-Love the Rush and Kings X riffs!

What a nice suprise today!
Thanks Tech 21!

I was looking for a bddi video not too long ago. For how long it's been out and how great it is I was surprised there wasn't one at the time. Thanks for getting it out there.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for making the VT bass and especially for making the VT bass deluxe. You've made many of us around here very very happy.

I find it funny. This video shows exactly the kinds of tones I got out of my BDDI. They're pretty good tones. Very versatile pedal. They're just not my tones.

From what I've heard, the Leeds is where my tones are, but I haven't heard the British on bass.


Regarding the comments above: That's what you get, Tech 21. Throw us a bone, we'll ask for a carcass.

Tech 21 XXL Bass Edition + BDDI would be awesome.

 

[jumbosilverette]

This comes at a good time for me, as I'm in the market for a new DI/preamp.

They're just not my tones.

Perhaps it's YouTube, perhaps it's a computer's audio system, but these sound pretty uniformly atrocious to me, too. Too much, too harsh. I never want most of these sounds on anything I play or listen to.

The SansAmp shines for me in its ability to really do a neat, professional-sounding tailoring of fairly clean bass, and what they can do for bringing some life out a flatwound-strung bass is amazing. That's probably too subtle for a demo, which is why demos are such poor things on which to base a buy. They're almost always overdone.

That's the dilemma.

Oh, and it's "Recorded."

 

[Thunderscreech]

mine (FWIW is an older one) sounds fine on most settings, but it only gets "harsh" to my ears when the drive knob is between the last few degrees of it's movement.

Also, the presence knob is a great way to boost treble without making it sound sharp and edgy.

I dunno, I like my BDDI. I acutally like it and the Tech 21 XXL B better than any fuzz I've tried.

sorry, i love my BDDI (that into a straight power amp is my bass rig), but those tones were mostly blurry on the low end.

how about a "clean SVT" setting?: blend 100%, drive well back (like at 9:00), EQ to taste but not too extremely boosted. that gives me a bit of grind when i dig in on my picked P bass, but the low end stays big and clear.
