Tech21 RBI SansAmp Rackmount Bass Preamp / Direct Box

A 1U rackmount version of SansAmp Bass Driver DI, and then some.. Just like its exceptionally popular pedal predecessor, SansAmp RBI offers you an entire sound spectrum of the most coveted traditional and modern bass amp systems --including mondo overdriven tones that typically require a complex mass of gizmos that weren't even designed for bass in the first place. Sample settings, such as SVT®- style, Bassman®-style, King's X-style, and Crimson-style (to name a few) are included in the owner's manual to get you started.

Most controls are the same as SansAmp Bass Driver DI: Drive adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive; Presence brings out the upper harmonic content and attack; Blend allows you to mix the direct instrument signal with SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry; and active Bass and Treble controls cut or boost ±12dB. Plus, the SansAmp RBI features a dedicated Mid control; individual Level control for the XLR out to optimize your amp's output relative to the P.A. system; Effects Loop; Mix 50/50 switch to configure the Effects Loop in series or parallel; 1/4" rear input and XLR output with select- able levels; buffered uneffected XLR output to run a dry signal to a separate channel; Footswitch input to engage unit; and Footswitch output to chain and toggle between another SansAmp RBI.
