I think the Ampeg sounds best snd clean not to over scratchy but tones are jumping out
I’m a ampeg player and been wanting this one, but I usually have the sound guy run Di out of my SVT so idk if I need this or not, someone feel free to sell me on it, please lol
Can't go wrong with two notes!
They are all preamps. True Di don’t have tone shaping.
If they don't have a transformer forget it
have you ever considered the studio classic sansamp bass driver DI v2, as its supposed to simulate a classic maybe vintage tubey bass tone?
GK hands down, keep up the good work Bro I’m subscribed
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.
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.
I can’t wait to get ahold of the new Sansamp XB Driver. Really looking forward to that one.
My fav out of those sounds 25:52
I have the Ampeg and I love it.
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
I've been using an original Sansamp Bass Driver since 1998.
Ampeg
Janek gwizdala just did a di shoot out and now you. ????
Love my NUX Melvin Lee Davis NBP-5 Dual Switch Bass Pedal Bass Preamp,DI box,Impulse Response (IR) Loader,Audio Interface in one. Pretty much set it and forget it with the IR on. I play funk, hip hop and RB.
Love it Travis …it’s brother Mo from Australia
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 ….
Where is the Walrus Canvas in your review?
I’d love to see what your rig looks like for Sunday/Touring.
Man that AMPEG tone…ooff
Love the ampeg clean with the ultra lo, that's where its at. 25:50
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.
The preamp in the SGT is absolutely fantastic. I don’t think there is a review video, outside of my own, that shows how good this preamp is. It’s great!!!

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 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.
what is a DI?
I love my Mesa Subway DI Preamp.
I just built my new rig around the Jad Freer Capo. Absolutely love it
AAAH i was waiting for this video for so long, i could see them on your table????????
