Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
I use this just after my volume and clean boost pedal and before my overdrive pedal. Excellent sound for just about anything you plug into it. Makes my electric bass sing and adds punch and body to my electric guitar sound. Add this to your pedalboard to make whatever you plug into your pedalboard sound better. Top quality construction and made in the USA seals the deal.
Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
Stellar bass and acoustic tones. I would definately replace it if lost. Combine it
with a PSA for biamping an incredible bass sound. Thanks to tech 21 for making
products that work in the real world and not just at home in the bedroom.
Great DI, plenty of signal to the board with passive basses. The "mid" controls make
this more bass-friendly than the actual bass driver! (I sold my bass driver after getting
this.) In and outs give flexibility to serve any system. I send the para-driver signal to the
mixer/house while using the parallel out to go to a tech 21 PSA via power amp. Stunning.
Never have quality issues with tech 21 stuff.
Considering it is essentially an RPM for alot less money it is well worth the money.
This gets such great bass tones that I think it should be the "bass driver" that
every bass player desires to have. It does more, has the mid controls and has a
higher range of overdrive. It can also bring acoustic guitars to life. I don't like it for
overdriven electric sounds, but it would be a useful backup if a guitar amp failed on
you.
Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
After trying out several boxes, preamps and different EQ's etc..I got this box and this is it..that elusive tone I've been searching for..I use it for my bass rig since it has a mid shift adjustment that the Tech Bass Driver doesn't..my music requires I have 3 distinct tones...Clean/SVTish, Overdriven-Fuzzy..I run a BBE Bmax as my Clean Preamp, this for the SVTish tone, and when I engage a Digitech bass Driver and run all 3 I get the perfect distorted Bass tone without losing ANY Bottom end..The serach is over...I run the BBE pretty much Flat...with the Para mids about mid way with the gain at 3 o'clock..and the sonic max engaged...I run the Para Driver pretty close to the sample SVT setting in the manual with the blend at about 3 o'clock instead of all the way..and the Bass up a hair..and this thing was the missing link in my eternal search..thank you Tech 21..
Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
This box does it all! For Live Performance, for audio recording, as a quick and easy amp-simulator. I have found many uses for this active DI box. What makes it unique beyond the connectivity features are the Active Controls. They not only cut frequencies but boost them ... so you can tailor your tone for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals. Highly Recommended!
Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
I bought this about a month ago, and I have to say it is one of the best purchases I have ever made in 20 years of guitar gadget buying. It delivers on everything it promises (which is a rarity). I record directly into garage band with this and this thing really warms up a Pod 2.0 and Alesis drum machine.
Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
I use this pedal exclusively to run all my piezo sounds. My piezo signal goes through this and then straight to the board. The EQ is quite powerful and the mids can be shaped radically. The blend feature is great, sort of a pseudo fx return. I use this pedal to supplement an already great sounding piezo and have since stopped taking acoustic guitars to my gigs. This combination sounds better than any AC Sim. I have every heard. This pedal stays on all night during my gigs, I run it off phantom power and have never had any problems. Great sounding pedal.
Comments about Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI Instrument Preamp Pedal:
I use this Tech 21 Sansamp "Para Driver" pedal with a Boss Metal Zone on my practice amps (Roland Cube 15 and Peavey Studio Chorus 210). Perfect to customize your sound. Adds some thick brutality to your distortion. The Mid freq knob is key and a bonus compared to the Tech 21 Sansamp "Bass driver". I also use a rack version of the "Para driver" called the Tech 21 Sansamp "RPM" on my live gear (Peavey JSX halfstack w/ Noise Gate and Aphex Aural Exciter). Adds power and shaping to my halfstack. Also for bass, use the "Para Driver" and "Bass driver" together to take it to maximum depths. Very brutal and a "must have" for Extreme metal guitarists/bassists.
