Will the Sansamp Bass Driver get me this pick tone?

I looked at her site and its all in japanese but i found a link to the sansamp bass driver on the japanese amazon.

I'm just wondering if the bass driver will be better for a more aggressive pick tone like this, or if the para driver is more for what im looking for since it does have mid controls, which is what i think of when i think of punch.

Sounds pretty close to what I get with the Bass Driver. I’ve had good luck using it for an “aggressive pick sound” for many years. There isn’t a “mid” knob, but there is a “presence” knob, which pretty much controls the frequency range of your pick attack.

Maybe others have differing opinions, but I always have my Bass Driver around. It has been very reliable for the years I’ve had it, and seems to always get used for something when recording or playing live—usually for the “pop-punk tone” when I play my Music Man Stingray with a pick.

(I haven’t ever used it as a DI. I keep it on my pedal board and use it as an effect only with the DIs and amps that I always use in the studio and on the stage.)
