Review: "It's just a preamp" but it is AWESOME! - We all have more preamps than we need, right? Our amps have them, and a bunch of pedals have them. But the products from SansAmp are better than the rest. They are amazingly versatile, and I was really surprised at all of the different, nuanced sounds that I can get out of it. The manual comes with quite a few settings to get you started. You can go from super sharp and articulate to thick and thudding, or you can crank up the gain for a really wide range of overdrive. Then you can hit the "bite" button to give your sound a noticeable edge. It has a "character" knob, and I am not sure how to describe it, but it runs through a range of different tonal characteristics. Try to find a video that demonstrates what it can do, and you will see what I mean. For the money, and with the high quality of this pedal, I think it is an essential piece of gear. Ok, since it says that I should talk about durability, I will add that this feels like, and appears to be, really solid and well-put-together. I don't gig, but it feels like one of the more solid pedals that I own.
Review: Like a SansAmp - I use it at every gig. Sounds almost exactly like a SansAmp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like a SansAmp

I use it at every gig. Sounds almost exactly like a SansAmp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It sounds great and works really well
*by M***X on February 19, 2016*

I got this for our bass guitar at church, and will be using it with some effects pedals. It sounds great and works really well. I love all the different options on it, and it seems to be really versatile with the different things that can be adjusted. The Character and Drive knobs provide a wide variety of tone. There is one drawback I've realized. Since I'm using this as a DI, it pretty much has to be last in the chain. But normally a Drive pedal doesn't go last in the chain, after other effects like Delay and Reverb, which I plan on using. That means I have to place those effects before this one instead of after, and while that will probably be ok, it isn't ideal or my preference. What might be a cool alternative design is to be able to have the effected 1/4" output of this go through the rest of my pedals, and then back into a 2nd input on this unit before being converted by the DI. That being said, I'm really happy with the way this thing sounds, and also with the way it functions as a DI. I just wish it was possible to place my other effects after the Drive effect instead of before.
