Tech 21 Introduces Programmable SansAmp Bass Driver DI Foot Pedal

Tech 21 Introduces Programmable SansAmp Bass Driver DI Foot Pedal


Tech 21

Posted 2005-02-01


Tech 21 has taken their popular, “don’t leave home without it,” SansAmp Bass Driver DI design and made a 3-channel, programmable version for performing bassists who can’t get enough of a great thing. With a combination of a 100% analog signal path and convenient digital programmability, it features three independent footswitches and the same controls as their single channel Bass Driver --Drive, Bass, Treble, Presence, Blend and Level.

The unit is super simple to operate. Changes can easily be made on the fly --without having to refer to the owner’s manual. You just turn the knobs to a setting you like, double click on a footswitch and it’s saved in that channel. You can create and program any three sounds, from vintage clean to gnarly overdrive to crushing distortion, and access each one instantaneously.

The Programmable SansAmp Bass Driver DI can be used as a pre-amp or stomp box with any amp/combo, power amp and speaker cabinet, a Tech 21 Bass Power Engine 60, or direct into any mixing console. There’s a 1/4-inch instrument level input, as well as 1/4” and XLR outputs with selectable levels.

Slightly larger than Tech 21’s other floor models, the Programmable SansAmp Bass Driver DI measures 7.25”l x 5”w x 2”h in an all metal housing. It is phantom power operable, or utilizes an optional 9V DC power supply (Tech 21 Model #DC2), or 9V battery. Manufactured in the U.S.A. MSRP: $250.00.
