Drive Your Bass with This Programmable DI Box!
Tech 21, the SansAmp people, have come up with the Programmable Bass Driver DI, a 3-channel, programmable, rig-in-a-box for bassists who can't get enough of a great thing. Like the TRI-A.C. for guitar, the Bass Driver DI offers three hot tones right at your toetips. The all-analog circuitry features the same controls as its single channel predecessor: Drive, Bass, Treble, Presence, Blend and Level. Digital only in its programmability, you just tweak the knobs until you find a tone, double-tap on a footswitch, and it's saved in that channel. It's that simple. Three of your favorite tones - to go!
Tech 21 Programmable Bass Driver DI Features:
* 3-channel programmable DI box especially for bass instruments
* Drive, Bass, Treble, Presence, Blend and Level controls
* Build your Bass Driver DI into a live rig with a Bass Power Engine 60, and run through the PA for extra power
* Go live with just your Bass Driver DI straight into the PA
* Bounce into any studio with a Programmable Bass Driver DI and plug directly into the board
* While larger than other SansAmp pedals, the Programmable Bass Driver DI still fits into a gig bag
* Actual size is 7.25" L x 5" W x 2" H.
* Roadworthy all-metal construction, yet weighs a mere 25 oz.
* Operable with a 9-volt alkaline battery or optional Tech 21 DC2 power supply, and also phantom powerable
Versatile bass power and control
Yes, it's a transparent direct box, but the Bass Driver also provides the sound of a tube amp with speaker emulation for additional flexibility. Use the Drive control to dial in just the right amount of dirt, then shape your sound with the 2-band EQ and a Presence control.
Direct Box Eliminates Harmonics of Piezo Pickups!
The Tech 21 Para Driver DI is a floor version of their RPM rackmount direct box. The Para Driver DI provides the same detailed tone shaping possibilities for any signal source. It's particularly useful with acoustic, electric and bass guitars, and upright bass, either direct to a mixing console or with an instrument amplifier. The Para Driver DI gives your instrument a natural warmth and presence, as if miking it through a tube preamp. The SansAmp circuitry eliminates the harsh, unnatural harmonics of piezo pickups, while the Drive control offers some tasteful edge - from just a little to over the top.
Tech 21 Para Driver DI Features:
* Active tone controls with 12dB of cut or boost
* Sweepable semi-parametric EQ
* 1/" 4.7 megOhm instrument level input
* 1/4" and XLR outputs with selectable levels
* Parallel, uneffected output to run a dry signal to a separate channel
* Phantom power operable, or utilizes an optional 9-volt DC power supply (Tech 21 Model # DC2) , or optional 9-volt battery (not included)
* Actual size: 4.5" x 3.5" x 1.5"
* Weight: 12 oz.
