This is why I love my Sansamp PSA1

[Lasse Lammert]

I have an Ampeg SVT and a Mesa M-Pulse BigBlock that barely get any use because of the PSA.
I really lke that gritty tone and how it blends with heavy guitars.

here are two examples:

Hey Lasse have you tried using the SansAmp on guitars ??

 

[Charles J]

jesussssssssssss ITNON sounds INCREDIBLE.

I've been wanting one of these forever........ ah god. The PSA-1.1 is the one to get, yes?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Thanks.
I think this is actually the older PSA-1

 

[Jaymz]

Wouldn't mind hearing a quick snippit of the DI of this.

 

[LeSedna]

I have the 1.0, IIRC the big improvement is that at least the newer model has an ON/OFF knob

Hey Lasse have you tried using the SansAmp on guitars ??

The whole discography of Hypocrisy/Pain, and old albums by Rammstein, are made with the SansAmp only or mixed with "actual amps"

What cab did you use with the JVM? I'm liking the Marshall tone, too.

EVH

 

[SethTheGreat]

That sounds amazing. Does the PSA sound different than the Bass Driver? I've got a bass driver and I can't say I've ever gotten close to that...

 

[GuitarHack]

That Marshall clip sounds great!

you mean ATM250DE dont you?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Yes, it's the 250DE.
The bddi sounds different, yes, I still really liked the bddi when i had it though

 

[GuitarHack]

Thanks for confirming that.

Now I want one! The 250DE that is.

Yeah the PSA is a great workhorse on bass. I think the best examples I have of are these clips:

I love all the Sansamp stuff too. BDDI has more of a saturation sort of distortion and can't get you the grind of the PSA-1. It'll add more clank and presence and can sound terribly close to a SVT stack. Had a band coming last year with a big SVT rig and after micing it up and a couple of hours of work getting the Bass Sound right I just thought to myself that I could have gotten the almost same result with the BDDI in like 15 minutes. At least in the mix the differences would have been negligable. Very similiar!
I had a PSA1 years ago but sold it since I've got the BDDI, the classic Sansamp Pedal (cool for Pain style guitars with a Post EQ and Bass in parallel as well) and finally I think the Plug In in Pro Tools is one great example of hardware modeling done right. It's very close to the hardware.

Have someone compared bddi against MXR m80? I see that fearcomplexmusic like m80 a lot and it would be closer for my budget at the moment.

 

[tgs]

Very nice. What bass guitar was used for this?

 

[Daniel Chen]

That clip sounds great!
Love my psa-1,too.
