Sansamp again....

[LSD-Studio]

I'm in the market for a sansamp (finally)....
I won't get the PSA-1 just because it's too expensive...
I'd reallybe interested in the "SansAmp RBI" but it's twice as much as the BDDI and as I understand it it's just the rackversion of the BDDI?

would you say "don't be a scot and save for the rackversion" or is the BDDI exactly what I need?

so, now feel free to tell me "this has been covered 10000 times, use the search function".....

I talked to the bassplayer Jesper liverod from Burst and he said the rackversion actually sounded less cool then the normal bassdriver D.i when they were in the studio for origo.
I myself tested the 1 channel d.i versus the 3 channel and the 1 channel sounded cooler again.. so my advice would be to just buy the normal one haha

the rbi is amazing though i must say.

I would get the BDDI. I never really could get into the rack version. YMMV.

 

[everybody's x]

buy the stompbox, you'll love it

I will buy the Bass Driver DI stompbox. I´ve tested it today and... damn. Makes you wish to have a miracle unit like this for DI guitar tone too. You plug it and the bass tone just rock.

RBI has a dedicated mid control.

 

[LSD-Studio]

cool. thanks for your help,..I'll get the BDDI

Just a quick question... Is there any difference in sound between PSA-1 and PSA-1.1?

 

[sparkyness]

Don't own one but have been researching PSA's.....the 1.1 is made with different (cheaper) components. Consensus on the likes of Gearslutz seems to be that Version 1 is superior sounding.

Here's the blurb from the Tech21 site:
Our popular SansAmp PSA-1 underwent an internal redesign and is now known as SansAmp PSA-1.1. While the 100% analog signal path and functionality remain the same, during the design process it became possible to include a few new features: an on/off switch on the front panel, more program locations (there are now 128), a master volume control, an XLR ground lift switch, phantom power MIDI input, and a dedicated headphone output.

I definately like the stompbox better.


Quick question though, If I'm setting up a DI bass track to reamp later would the Sansamp parallel output be better or should I use my Radial DI?

 

[Polpotkin]

Sweet.. I found one, used, for about 300€, I think i'll buy it...

I would use the radial for that application.
