Which Sansamp should I pick? Paradriver, GT2...?

[acappa]

Hey, Im trying to decide which sansamp should I get and when I see into the catalog I fall into a bunch of different options...and I can´t see which is the one that fits the best with my needs.
Well, as I usually record bass guitar at home, I use to take my Radial DI and record the dry signal for then reamped, and the thru is what I want it to put the sansamp, mainly for monitoring, and if I get a decent sound, then blend it with the reamped one.
I think it´s stupid spend my bucks on the expensive rack units, so I just want to know if a pedal version would be enough....
Well, if some of you could shed some light....thanks!!

Sansamp are no good IMO.. plastic sound.

That's helpful RPM gets my vote for the adjustable midrange!

Did not understand what you´ve written here.

Anyway, you really can´t go wrong with the Sansamp Bass Driver DI. I´ve heard that the classic version sounds a bit better than the 3 channel one (programable) but I haven´t A/B'ed them yet to confirm this.

I can only speak for the Bass DI and PSA-1.1 but i've found both need pretty heavy amounts of tweaking after the fact to pull decent bass tones. The PSA-1.1 is capable of some cool grit though.

It´s quite simple: Radial has two outputs, one of them is called through, so I record the dry signal from the bass using the output, and the other output (called through) is what I use to monitor what I´m playing, right now thru a Line6 guitar amp, and in the next future with sansamp. This way I record two tracks, first one only the dry signal for reamping, and the other one with line6, sansamp or whatever I use...

The Tech 21 VT bass is the way to go, cheaper than all those on your list and a lot better. It has more useable tones and actually has a mid control. It's the center of my entire bass rig, no need for any drive pedals or external EQ.
