Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 Preamp/Direct Box Pedal at a Glance:
Drive and Presence controls deliver hard-hitting sound
Shape your bass tone with EQ and blend controls
Run direct or feed your amp with killer bass tone
Drive and Presence controls deliver hard-hitting sound
The SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 delivers an impressive range of tone-shaping options that let you get the most out of your bass. It starts with the drive control, which makes it easy to add heat to your tone, and when you crank it, you get a wooly distortion that can flesh out an otherwise anemic mix. Presence control brings out harmonic overtones to add the perception of loudness, without adding much volume - it's ideal for controlling slap bass tone.
Shape your bass tone with EQ and blend controls
For R&B bass, you may want to back off the Treble, while Bass and Mid controls with switchable center frequencies let you contour your tone for 5- and 6-string basses and a variety of pickup styles. Finally, there's the Blend control, which lets you go nuts with your tone and then mix in some of the unaffected DI signal for a more complex and coherent sound.
Run direct or feed your amp with killer bass tone
One of the things many of the gigging bass players here at Sweetwater love about the SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 is that once you have one, you'll never be without a usable bass rig again. That's because the SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 includes both 1/4" and XLR outputs. Want to feed your bass amp? No problem! Depending on your amp, you can totally bypass your amp's preamp and run the SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2's output directly into the effects return. Likewise, you can send the signal straight to the PA via the XLR output, and if you hit it with phantom power, you don't even need to worry about batteries or AC. And thanks to the parallel output, you can even do both, sending the affected signal to the PA while feeding your bass amp with clean signal for stage monitoring.
Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 Preamp/Direct Box Pedal Features:
A powerful tone-shaping tool for bass players of all styles and setups
Drive control lets you add heat and hair to your basic bass tone
Presence and treble control let you contour your top-end expression
Bass control with 40/80Hz switch accommodates 4-, 5-, and 6-string basses
Mid control with 500/1000Hz switch lets you adjust for pickups and technique
Blend control lets you mix in unaffected signal for added clarity
Choose between 1/4" instrument signal and XLR line-level outputs
Parallel output lets you send clean signal to your onstage amp
Contour your bass tone with a Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2!
A Studio's Worth of Compressors
The Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor pedal packs a studio's worth of compressors into your pedalboard. Integrating an all-analog signal path and digitally modeled sidechain circuits, this bass compressor pedal re-creates some of the world's most iconic compression tones. You can enjoy three models right out of the gate, and thanks to the Hyper Luminal's built-in USB interface, you can download more as they become available. Take control of your tone via the pedal's 4-knob interface and dual through-metal sensors, or if you really want to dive in, download the free Darkglass Suite software and start tweaking.
Dial in your sound
The Hyper Luminal includes dual through-metal sensors that detect when and where the chassis is touched. This technology provides an intimate, pleasant way to tweak the pedal's Ratio and Mode parameters. Beyond that, four physical knobs supply easy control of Blend, Time, Output, and Compression. Blend mixes the clean and effected signals. Time sets your attack and release, which can be further tweaked via the free Darkglass Suite software. Compression sets the amount of compression, while Level sets your overall output volume. You also get an easy-to-read 10-segment Gain Reduction meter. The bassists here at Sweetwater have been able to coax a myriad of tones out of the Darkglass Hyper Luminal.
Dive in and take control
There's a lot going on under the Hyper Luminal's hood, and the Darkglass Suite software puts it all at your fingertips. Connect the pedal to your Mac or PC via its built-in USB interface, load up the software, and then enjoy access to advanced fine-tuning and mapping that allows you to assign different constants to each model. You can also use the software to load new compressor models as they become available.
The Hyper Luminal ships with three selectable models:
BUS
is modeled after the definitive solid-state bus compressor.
FET
is inspired by the FET-based compressor that's been a studio standard for decades.
SYM
is based on the now-discontinued Super Symmetry pedal.
