Hey Michael! It all depends on what you are looking for. They’re all tools that add a different character. The sansamp is great if you want a quick and easy tool that gets you into the “mic’d up cabinet” sound. All the other DI’s shown there don’t provide that. I personally use the Noble DI and the Mesa boogie stuff :)

Appreciate the comparison. Wish the SansAmp had been set to be more "flat." All knobs at 12 really makes it not belong with the others. It's much more in that territory of trying to fake a real amp sound. The others aren't designed with that in mind, which is why they sound so much less colored, especially at the beginning. SansAmp literally means "amp and cab sound without an amp." An early precursor to amp modeling and IRs! And a very specific amp sound at that, I believe modeled after an SVT and 8x10. Thanks again, looking forward to more vids

I've been using the sans amp for about three years now and I love it as an introduction to good sounding preamps. The next step up is the tone hammer and the cream of the crop is obviously the Noble. In my mind the darkglass is equivalent to the sans amp, but still offers a great tone and many rock bass players use it! Thanks again and maybe one day I can afford a noble!

Hey Thanks for the video! I have the vintage ultra v2 and its a great pedal. both as a preamp and as an overdrive. but still, not quite where I want my sound to go. so I`m aiming and saving for the noble. I just cannot not have it :) Having that said, I really liked the tone hammer in this comparison. much less sterile than the vintage, and a bit warmer. (transparency is welcome in a pedal, the sterilization that I`m getting from my vintage ultra, sounds a bit detached from what my bass want and born to do). The Aguilar also much less overdoing than the sansamp ( a great pedal and a great solution for poor setups, but a bit old fashioned to my ears). The Tone Hammer seams to me like a sweet-spot in the middle after this comparison. decent transparency at natural settings, nice coloration when engaged and tweaked. versatile and in a useful musically way. Still going for the noble, but glad that I've came across this vid. Thanks!

It's a "clean only" preamp, but I'll be pairing it with a Vintage Microtubes which will be here in a couple days.

The EBS Microbass 3 has a semi parametric mid control that goes all the way down to 110hz….seems like something to try…maybe. $400 instead of the Noble at $1,200 plus.

SansAmp wins this one for me hands down. I use one with my Rickenbacker 4003 and with I can get a perfect Chris Squire tone.

@IvanBassist3 жыл бұрын
The volume of the noble only controls the output of the 1/4” out. The DI has a set volume

Has anyone tried a Tech 21 Q-Strip on bass? I wonder how that would shape the tone? Also looking for a Bass Pedal Compressor? - Any input is appreciated.

I have a Boss bass compressor, and when I use it, I swear by it. I tend to like Boss pedals overall the best, but of course other makes have their pluses and minuses.

сансамп больше всех понравился тем что более всего меняет тембр. На счёт остальных - какой смысл в преампе если звук принципиально не меняется. Эквализация не в счёт.

@IvanBassist4 жыл бұрын
No its not. We split the signal at the very beginning. You can see the cable on the parallel out of the pedal going into the Noble. One XLR goes out of the Noble, the second one out of the Tone Hammer

@@IvanBassist I know, Ive tried but I dont dig the sound. Even at 12 o clock position you can aprettiate how much the SansAmp affects your sound/signal. I prefer the Aguilar or the Noble, they are designed to keep your sound naturaly coloured just helping adding richness in some low-frequencies that just work so fine for your tone. I like the DG and the SansAmp for drive/distorsioned sounds though. Cheers.

@IvanBassist Ivan, you are very welcome! Very interesting review. My thoughts on the peramps: SamsAmp very forward, in your face,with very nice clarity and a beautiful tone. Having said that, at times, quite edgy. Vintage Deluxe! It feels like it's more controlled and refined. In it for the Long Haul. Agular, the sleeper of the bunch! A French fine wine with complexity is sweet at times with a beautiful aroma. If the price was competitive, they would be very compelling. I'm definitely passing on the noble..

Hey there! Too bad that the sound doesn’t meet your expectations. The signal chain was recorded with a fresh set of DR Pure Blues and a custom shop Fender P bass. I guess i’m just a terrible bass player. And Tech 21 didn’t pay me a cent.
