The SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver ELITE is a bass preamp/DI that combines SansAmp's signature amp sound and natural response with high expandability via preset functions, IRs, a nd MIDI. It responds smoothly to dynamics and picking nuances during playing, allowing you to build a stable bass sound in a wide range of environments, from live performances to recording. This unit features a "Performance Mode" for quick access to three main presets and a "Studio Mode" for saving up to 128 custom presets. In Performance Mode, the selected switch number is displayed on the screen, and a "-" is displayed when the switch is off. In addition to intuitive sound shaping with DRIVE, 3-band EQ, PRESENCE, COMP, and BLEND, the "RED ZONE" allows you to adjust preamp level, filter, mid-frequency, Q, ambience, compression ratio, chorus, and more. From auto-wah filters to chorus, vibrato, and natural spatial expression, this single unit can handle a wide range of sound creation. This mode is switched on by pressing the tuner button, and the red LED next to Blend lights up when RED ZONE control is active.
