I'll be taking a deep-ish dive on the Ampeg SGT DI, Source Audio ZIO DI, Origin Effects Bass Rig and Two Notes Revolt to find out what the true sound is for each of these pedals.

Darkglass B7K Ultra for me. And the model on the Helix/HX Stomp is outstanding!

For me, I like the old school P-Bass into the SansAmp Bass Driver sound. It just seems to work across a lot of genres, much like the P-Bass into an Ampeg did back in the day. I’m not really a slap or a pick player, so that sound tends to work for me.

I use the Revolt for a year now, I love the fact that there is an effect loop. I use mainly the clean channel that a puch or shape tone with a DCX bass from origin effect ....

Hi Travis. I would like to know whether you have any insight regarding Warm Audio Wa-a-di active di box?

@MusicalKinetics 24 күн бұрын

Great video. The order of editing could have been a bit different with you playing the clean sounds in between the info in each DI. Then a head to head comparison of the different DI’s for one style (maybe dirty or grit) before moving to a head to head comparions of a different style. Keep it up. Your content is engaging

@danielvenancio7810 25 күн бұрын

I recommend the helix stomp has many amps and di's also has many effects.

Can you check the Zoom B2-Four? Multi-effect pedal with great sounding DI!

@WestOfBen 25 күн бұрын

Recommend including the DSM Humboldt Bass Simplifier, or dpi by a separate review. After trying some of the units in your review and more, I found the DSM most faithful to my bass tone, while still having great flavour and a super flexible function set. The ReVolt and Ampeg were great, but in my experience compromised.

Yea you miss the GK plex!!👌🏽🔥🔥 Although you have mention it before To me is the best for neck trough basses You need a review of types of basses like necktrough, 2pcs, etc, or type of wood wich I also think change your tone and reacts different with your Di I found out that my necktrough basses works better with the Gk plex And the ampeg sgt with maple body Blessings!!🙋🏻‍♂️

I can’t wait to get ahold of the new Sansamp XB Driver. Really looking forward to that one.

@TheAcoustic356 25 күн бұрын

I use 4. If I'm just playing bass I use the Noble. If I need distortion too, I'll take the 2 Notes Revolt Bass. If I need a few effects, I'll take the Zoom B6. If I am doubling on guitar, like I am on Sunday, I take the Hotone Ampero Stage.

@dan6134 21 күн бұрын

have you ever considered the studio classic sansamp bass driver DI v2, as its supposed to simulate a classic maybe vintage tubey bass tone?

@KohlHosein 25 күн бұрын

Just curious, how come you haven't talked much about Markbass? Thought it might be in your view as it seems like a popular pedal.

@7krunch77 24 күн бұрын

I invested in the Electro-Harmonix Battalion. Though I seldom use it as a DI, the bass preamp is pretty cool. It has distortion, compression, and a noise gate. There are options for pre- and post- for the effects; and a 4 band rotary EQ. I'd love for you to take a look at it and let me know what you think. I'm normally a bass>cable>amp kind of guy, but I do love a pedal that motivates my creativity.

Bass di shootout. Let's go! I copped the walrus audio Badwater recently and dig it a ton. Really want the GK Plex. Someday maybe. These all look snazzy too. Quick question, any thoughts on the afford alr Joe Dart bass? I'm beyond tempted to preorder 😅

@Ben-ic1ve 25 күн бұрын

If you want that joe dart kind of vibe it’s hard to pass up at that price 😅 Just keep in mind all tonal tweaking has to happen with your other gear you run it through!

Currently using : The Genzler Magellan bass DI, it is the best one I have ever had, at least to me, and the close runners up to that is the Aguilar tone Hammer (which I used to own), and a Sadowsky DI, (which I sold because I put a Sadowsky onboard pre-in my jazz bass instead) The Genzler Magellan bass DI, has a vintage switch and a modern switch, the modern switch sounds very much to me like an SWR amp, or (Genzler/Genz Benz amp, and the vintage maybe sounds like a cleaner Ampeg or bassman (kinda), it has a really good and clean 4 band EQ circuit ,and it has a circuit to mildly cut out some of the sub-bass if it’s overwhelming, without sucking any tone, it literally is the cleanest sounding Bass DI , I have ever used, and it sounds very big, punchy and full at the same time. I’ve tried it all, I’ve owned a sansamp, radial tone bone, Galien Kruger DI, etc… I will never get rid of my Genzler Magellan. The basses, I play sound great through it, my Ernie ball stingray special 5, my American Deluxe Fender Jazz bass V with Bartolini pick ups and Sadowsky preamp, and G&L L2500, play and sound very well through it. The modern sound lends very well to gospel sounding stuff like (Israel Houghton) , R&B , Pop, and funk, and the vintage it’s great for rock and old Motown sounding stuff, It’s literally the jack of all trades.

Do you use the drive function? Is there a volume jump?

@jeffbonzerpeterson 25 күн бұрын

@@joshdennis1 I rarely use that feature because I have a dedicated pedal for that. I find it kind of odd that most bass DIs come with an over drive or distortion built in. My goal with my DI pedal is to have my sound no matter what front of house system I’m plugged into. It’s last on my pedal board chain of course.
