And here is yet another example of using the BDDI to NOT scoop your mids, this time with a fretless Jazz bass. The rest of the rig is very similar to Matt's:

About the last thing I expected you to play when I saw the fretless...VERY cool :cool:

Lovin it (them both). Are they thru your Jules Monique or straight from Sansamp? Other?

Thanks man!

These are both direct via pedalboard only:

Cali76 > Alpha·Omega > Sansamp > OmniCabSim in the first case, Cali76 > Sansamp > Vintage Ultra > OmniCabSim in the second.

I'll be reamping them through the Monique's DI as well as through a variety of cabs for a shootout between Barefaced, Greenboy, LDS and a few others: check post #99 :thumbsup:

Recommendations for THE best full range cab

My thanks to you. You have been my best resource to unlocking my "Sansamp`s subtle secrets"!

Im watching the cab shootout thread too.

Good eye brother!

My all time favorite band right there, snagged the shirt during their recent tour w Circa Survive :thumbsup:

They are part of my "top three" with Radiohead and Elliott Smith. I can never choose a favorite, but I do probably listen to them the most. Just got my shirt with The Alchemy Index vinyl repress. They were all out of my size by the time they played Florida.

I have an original SansAmp Bass DI and have used it steadily for well over a decade. It is hands down the one box that does what it's suppose to do better than ANY other box I've ever used. I have used it for live gigs as either a true DI, as well as an EFX ped to enhance my live sound. I have recorded extensively & exclusively with it and it's performed exceptionally in all cases.

I have used it sparingly in recent years live, as my new amp has a built in DI if need be, but I do always... ALWAYS keep it on me just in case, it can be a lifesaver if your amp craps out.

I can't stress enough how well it performs.

I don't know what I would do without mine honestly. I use mine for every gig whether it's as a DI or into my effects return as a pre or both.

Yeah, I used to do that too, last couple of years I havent really used it at all except for DI at home. I started to like the simple sound of going straight with no effects. Stripped down tone. But I do always have it on me just in case

Relatively new bass player, just ordered a BDDI to better get/control the sound I am after. Pardon the noobie question, but I have seen references to "unity gain match" as in "Leave the Bass and Treble controls at noon, adjust the Blend, Presence and Drive controls to taste, unity gain match with the Level control". I googled the term but didn't come away with a much better understanding. A definition would be really appreciated!

FWIW - I've read this whole thread and will attempt to contribute in addition to asking for help. According to the BDDI manual: "While the SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry is bypassed when Blend is at minimum, the Bass, Treble, and Level controls remain active." I found this interesting as I would have assumed that Blend affected Bass and Treble as well. Apparently it only affects Presence and Drive.

By unity gain, it means that's when you are finished adjusting the tone controls to taste, you use the level control to adjust the volume so that it remains constant when turning the pedal on and off.
