Anyone here used one? I´m looking for a pedal that can double as a distortion when I need it, but also a cool pre-amp/Eq/DI to use either in conjuction with my amp (Peavey Firebass 700 + 2x10 custom cab) or to send straight to PA depending on the situation. After some research here, on Talkbass, google, and even checking the samples on Thomann, I´m close to the conclusion that the Bass DI + is the best of my options currently.
Obviously the Sansamp BDDI comes to mind as well, but judging by millions of clips I´ve heard of it (cause simply the thomann clips don´t seem 100% reliable to me cause you don´t really know what those DIs are going through) I prefer the general "preamp" sound of the MXR, plus according to my research the mxr can also do some heavy distortion quite well, whereas the sansamp apparently fails at high gain situations. This is all based on research but not actual testing though, there´s no big local music shops where I could go and test stuff here, so I´m trying to look into it as much as possible before having to go through the hassle of taking it back if I´m not satisfied or whatever.
FTR, I am happy with the tone of my amp, I just want mainly the option of an overdrive plus a little more variety in tone depending on what I´m playing, plus the DI out is a cool extra. My amp also has a DI out, but I normally send that to my drummer for his headphone monitors so an extra one to send to PA is cool.

) a stoner rock band soon using this very pedal. I really dig it, as does the bass player who is gonna be using it. The Color button is "instant good bass tone", but you can't shape it further with the EQ, and I'm unsure if it works with the distortion engaged.
it´s top in my to buy list for sure!
