  • Beefcake

    As reviewed by Roger Shattuck on 8/30/2006

    I've had this little guy for about 8 years. This thing is a tank. I used it on tour when I went to Afghanistan and never once had a problem. The Phantom is probably one of the smartest things I've ever seen for a stompbox, wish more folks would use it. The controls are straight to the point and functional. I can go on for hours about knob twiddling. I've also used this for acoustic and electric guitar, and had very good results. The overdrive and amp simulation make the home studio a much less noisy place. I guess the biggest compliment I get is the "Wow, you've got a Bassdriver". That and the folks that want to steal it!

  • Sweet!

    As reviewed by Michael C on 3/11/2010

    This is the sound we were looking for. Attention sound guys, ever wondered how to get that rich crisp punchy sound from your bass player. This is it! I bought this at our bass players request and we are super pleased with the results. As some of the other reviews mentioned, you can even lose the bass amp if your sound system has good low response. Your bass player will come alive again with the Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI. Batteries not included... not needed. You can even power this direct box with phantom power... how cool is that. Its the little things guys.

  • Bassists Unite! Never trust a soundman's ear again!!

    As reviewed by Jimi Streets on 2/5/2011

    Had mine for 5 years now. Over and above its qualities as a tone-shaping pre-amp, what I love most is the complete control I have over my sound when I play thru a PA! If you are like me, you get PISSED to hear from others, after pouring your heart into a performance, thinking you played well and sounded good, something like, "Dude, couldn't hear you!" Or, "Man, it sounded really muddy!" You know what I mean! With the SansAmp as DI, you not only can shape the tone you send to the board, but with the GLORIOUS level knob you never have to worry about not being heard again! Most of the times I play, we make a recording of the performance, then mix it a bit. The difference in tone is like night and day when I use the SansAmp and when I don't! Okay, in case you haven't figured it out yet, a play a lot in my church, and have played in LOTS of churches over the years! Easily 80% of church soundmen are good guys, but lousy soundmen! This box puts the control back into MY hands! It even makes cheap amps sound good. Easily the most lethal weapon in any bassist's arsenal!
