And just like that, you can go from traditional to diabolical.
The 100% analog, dual-channel SansAmp XB Driver is a veritable vault of treasured bass tones. It is a sophisticated toolbox with 15 knobs and 3 switches. Intuitively arranged, like familiar amplifier controls, you can craft a broad range of bass tones without a PhD.

    I bought the Bass Fly Rig v2. I love the pedal (the preamp part), but not the FX part of it. I don't need that. But I have a problem, I want to buy separate effects/pedals (tuner, compressor, SansAmp, drive, etc.) and I really like my SansAmp tone! I love it! I use the compressor level at 12, comp at 9. The SansAmp: Char in (activated) without Bite (no Bite push), Drive 1 at 9, Drive 2 at 10, Low at 3, Mid at 1.5, High at 1.5, Level 1 at 10, Level 2 at 10 (only a little more drive - and volume from the drive - between channel 1 and 2). No cab sim, I use the cab sim from my Darkglass Microtubes X Ultra. I want to buy the PolyTune 3 Mini, Empress Bass Compressor Blue SPK, (and here is my problem) SansAmp BDDI v2 or the Character VT DI !!!, and I have the Darkglass Microtubes X Ultra for nu-metal/djent style distorsion (now I use the Bass Fly Rig v2 with the Darkglass, I want to go for individual pedals for better control). I love my settings and tone of the SansAmp preamp on my Fly Rig v2, I want the same sound/character, BDDI v2 or VT DI? Because on my Fly Rig v2 I have the Char in, and that is the sound what I love, I presume that the BDDI v2 is the closest, no?

    I use this pedal live for my band lovelost and it never fails to get me compliments even from the other touring bands. Its well worth the money. We play drop F and it still can keep up. I just threw a compressor on it because the built in one is kind of lacking for what I need but thats to be expected.

    This is a really great pedal. I have one and I also have the version 1 which I use along with it on all my gigs. I have shelved all my stomp boxes in favour of those. I have to say that I thought the interview guy was a bit rude and inconsiderate in talking about Les Paul when Richie was doing his demo. It could have thrown Richie off from his dialogue but he coped well and still a great demo.👍

    • @Tech21nyc

      C# would be 34.7Hz for the fundamental. The range of your speaker system needs to be considered as well. Pedals usually work best before the the input. It's always best to experiment and see (hear) which sounds best to you.

    Unity gain can be a challenge with distortion because of the extra harmonics and compression factor. I was once so worried about my fuzzy tone (for the "Dance to the Music" solo) blowing out the sound guy that my fuzz level was much quieter than my clean level. The solution would have been to compare dirty to clean during soundcheck... but that was my oversight.

    Pffft... Geddy did all that stuff AND sang. Poser... Haha! Awesome! That sounds GREAT! I have one of those pedals, and while I had to calm it WAY down because I play Music Man basses (already pretty raunchy) and because I'm usually playing less 'inyerface' stuff than Rush tunes, it gives me exactly the balls and mid bite I've always been trying to beat out of my poor, faithful G-K amps without having to work them so hard. Can't recommend enough, and I don't even record with that setup, which it's OBVIOUSLY just superlative at. If you think you even MIGHT want one, pull the trigger, there's a lot more there than you probably think. I even use it with my upright to pick up fingerboard noise without getting too harsh with the overtones. It's a FANTASTIC unit. As always, amazing playing, thank you!
