Where do you put your SansAmp?

[48thStreetCustom]

Do you put it at the end of your pedal chain or somewhere else?

Tail-end, so I can go DI if needed.

So you use it as an amp preamp as opposed to a preamp to drive your pedal chain?

Personally, I like the sound of my phaser after my SansAmp

I tested the PBDDI just about eveywhere in the chain, starting with what is recommended in the user manual. I found the differences in sound ranging from marginal to non-existent. The Phase 90 I used to have worked really well placed before the PBDDI.

P > Boss Chromatic Tuner Pedal > Sans Amp > Amp

 

[Burwabit]

Line 6 wireless > Boss Tuner > Aguilar TLC comp > BDDI
(All 4 fit on a Pedaltrain Nano, BTW)
I'm no expert but that's what I do.

 

[G3Mitch]

just put it on top of my amp/cab. for me its always worked best at the very end of the chain

I have weird approach for placing BDDI

I do: Bass -> LS-2 (output) -> Dirt pedals -> LS-2 (input) -> BDDI -> Modulations + Delays -> amp

I think dirt pedals just sound better before sansamp. It adds bottom end and clarity.

Where I put my dirt pedals, I run my ParaDriver as an OD/distortion more than anything.

 

[FretNoMore]

For smaller rooms or unplugged type gigs I may use it on top of my combo amp, connected between pedal board and amp, in case I want to use it as a DI to the PA.

the end. BDDI Prog, phantom powered by my mixer.

At the end. Para Di is the preamp for the Peavey IPR 1600.

Deluxe first.

There is no right or wrong way to place the SansAmp. It depends on your application and preference. In general we recommend running time domain effects like reverb and delay "after" the pedal but this is more for lead guitar. I don't know that many bass players that regularly use those type of effects. If you do, you will get a cleaner delay and reverb signal by running after the SansAmp (or any distortion pedal or preamp).

If I want to boost mids for certain songs, using an EQ pedal, is it better to run the EQ before or after a BDDI v2?

 

[18eranaRic]

i go: bass guitar, sadowsky pre with DI out and tuner out first to enhance and shine the tone of the maple ric, micro chorus, bass-drive OD, clean boost, then amps

Either way will work but in different ways. Boosting mids before the pedal will also possibly increase the distortion whereas using the EQ after the pedal won't. Just try it both ways on a gig and see which you prefer.

Everything changes when you're playing with drums and other instruments.
