Tech 21 BSDR
Tech21 Bass Driver DI.

SansAmp Bass Driver DI gives you the warmth, presence and punch of a miked-up bass tube amp system in a conveniently portable direct box/pedal format. SansAmp Bass Driver DI can be used as a pre-amp or stomp box with your existing stage rig. You can drive a power amp and speaker cabinets. Or go direct into the mixer of a recorder or P.A. You can also plug into a power amp or conventional bass amp and a P.A. system simultaneously.

The controls offer a broad range of traditional bass amp sounds, including such meaty styles as Bassman® and SVT®, as well as raunchy, crunchy overdriven sounds that would typically require a multitude of effects units.

• PRESENCE controls the amount of definition and upperharmonic content.
• DRIVE adjusts the overall gain structure andoverdrive.
• LEVEL regulates the XLR and effected 1/4” outputlevels.
• BLEND allows you to mix the direct bass signal withSansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry (which is particularly useful forbasses equipped with piezo pickups).
• BASS & TREBLE are active EQ controls, specifically tuned for bassguitar, that cut or boost +/- 12dB.

For studio and live applications, SansAmp Bass Driver DI is engineered with three outputs: an effected XLR, and effected 1/4”, and a parallel, unaffected 1/4”. The footswitch activates the Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry. Disengaging the circuitry enables you to use SansAmp Bass Driver DI as a standard active transparent direct box.

Sample style settings include Bassman®, SVT®, King’s X, Slap, Reggae, Crimson. Settings are also included for Chapman Stick and Acoustic guitar.

Phantom power operable, or uses optional DC power supply, Tech 21 Model #DC2, or 9V alkaline battery (not included).
