I have had one of these and I absolutely love it. So much chunk and grind in an analog pedal. It's become "my" sound;) You do have to be careful though - to me the xlr out totally loses that magic body grind compared to the 1/4 in out. Not sure why this is, but I've read other people saying the same thing. Still, you cannot go wrong with this pedal. It just works and sounds "right" everytime in a mix.
Fuck today I ordered one of these. But now, every vid I saw till now was disappointing. The bass loses his body. It sounds complete powerless. You cannot use this sound in a bandcontext. The thing blew me away in the shop, but now?!
It gives you a sound similar to plugging into a bass amp, without having to plug into a bass amp. It's mainly used for recording, though it can be used live, especially when you have to d.i. through the p.a., but ultimately you can use it any way you want.
@itsbanffdavehere Thanks, man. could you plug a bass into the sansamp and the sansamp into an amp and you could still get a cool tone? and how would you plug it in to a computer?
@GanonPlayingDaBass66 They are designed to be used as DI's into a mixer or computer sound card. Although they have built-in speaker simulation, I personally find the Sansamp products sound just great plugged straight into an amp, and make fabulous-sounding stompboxes.
TheMbard. I used a device called "Audio Interface" in between my computer and bass. You can connect your guitar/bass to the AI through the normal cable, and USB/firewire cable between AI and computer. Try google to see what it is. I used one from MOTU.
Just fyi. I made the music track on "Garageband" and made a video on "iMovie".
i'm so confused about the xlr and how to connect it to the computer ^-^
i mean what kind of cable to use and where to stick it?
is there some device needed inb/w z xlr and z pc?
also is it possible then to play through the computer using some sofware and without delay in signal and no hiss ? (and i dont mean recording) but hearing what i play
settings???

@audiotrax2000 Meant to say I've had one of these for several years for direct in recording.

@audiotrax2000 the XLR out is a direct out of course.

when the pedal is off the bass sounds like dead, flat, at least for me

Sounds like the lows and highs are boosted too far, and the bass sounds like Korn's

Sorry, but I sound like an idiot. What exactly is the sansamp used for? is it some kind of effect or is it for recording? some body please answer.

@GanonPlayingDaBass66
You can plug a sansamp into an amp, but whether it would sound cool...I don't know.
You could record it to your pc, though you'd need an audio interface if you were to record it into a DAW like Cubase, FL Studio, Cakewalk etc..
Sorry I can't be more help.

i love the sanamp and I have one and use it a lot. but I prefer the 1st sound on this recording, the sansamp settings can do much better than that

@algmusicuk Yeah I was excited about the sound at the beginning then it was a little too "sharp" for me I guess you could say.

What does the SansAmp really do? As I hear it beefs up the sound but there is overdrive in the background...
