Oh my GAWD! I'm exhausted from laughing. Very cool stuff. Insightful, entertaining, informative, honest. And a whole lotta fun!

[@burningkarma]

Christ I couldn’t contain myself when Frank started with his Paul Stanley.

What a fantastic demo of the Street Driver 48 & interview with Frank Bello , I am of the same age group of Frank and Tim and grew up having the same bass heroes this interview was like hanging with some good buds talking bass. I also love the Street Driver 48 , Tech 21 has knocked it out of the park yet again. I have one on order to add to my Tech 21 Collection of pre amps and pedals, each serves a purpose, and I love having the variety of pedals and pre amps available on hand. Thanks as always, guys.😀

[@sickwilly]

Love The Pedal!!! Thank You Guys Great Meeting You Both. This Is A Must Own For All Bass Player. Cheers 🤘

[@ObeseChess]

Yup, this is gonna be my next dirt pedal, this is the sound I’ve had in my head for years.

[@mrhyde2250]

Tim’s mosy clean tone was the highlight of this clip. What an amazing tone!

[@BigMuff75]

Considering the fuzz of the first tone, the tonality was still intact, impressive, I may say.

[@adamrushka8096]

2 fantastic bass players.

[@drunk247]

Frank could endorse toilet paper and I'd buy it. Everything he puts his name on is killer.

[@Tech21nyc]

Ha! Now there's a visual... 🤣

[@ironsaint]

Ha! Now there's an idea... 🤣

[@RulgertGhostalker]

Frank's running a PJ !!! hey that sounds good. ( and so does the jazz on that tweak )

[@RolandDeschain1]

Frankie is a BEAST!!!

[@Mrmemphisbones]

Analog brilliance. 'Nuff said! Greetings from Athens Greece Tech21 family! ❤

[@BillyBongwaters]

I need this in my life

[@Ricky-_-Rocker]

Great video guys! The pedal sounds amazing.

[@skeleton-key]

Literally just received mine. Sounds killer. Purple Knobs - chef's kiss! 👌

[@xsickpeoplex]

love hearing Frank talk bass!!

[@brentheathersimons7042]

Just awesome! and what fun to just hang out with Frank! 😀 Tim you are still the Man! Stay healthy! Brent, VT

[@cameronlesley2428]

I was given a bass driver di 2nd hand a few years ago and it’s my always on pedal now. This new 😊 Frank pedal.(the Frankenpedal) sounds awesome the drive is so useful . Tech21 for the win

[@zer0dave]

Awesome demo, thanks so much! Tim inspired me to get my 2112 pedal and I use it every time I record bass! I got the awesome opportunity to meet him at a YYZ show in St. Charles, very kind awesome dude. Thanks for making great products!

[@Tech21nyc]

Ooops, think you mean a YYNOT show! 😃

[@zer0dave]

@@Tech21nycdoh you are correct I'm sorry! I didn't have enough coffee today lol. I even bought a YYNOT shirt and I couldn't type the name correctly lol. Thanks again for the great products!

[@quiquicampos]

Whoa !!!! These guys rock them bass tones are awesome

[@vernsorrelhorse2949]

Can't wait to try it. My fly rig was my main pedal I played every day downtown nashville or on the road for 3 years but after 3 years it stopped working so a good run. The tones on this sound amazing.

[@Tech21nyc]

Sorry to hear that. Please contact us to sort out the issue: [e-mail]

[@BTHpodcast]

"We edit this part out" love Frank

[@centroproiv5614]

I need one!

[@jasperrrrrrrrrr_]

The Bello Bass Bottom. Great pedal, love my YYZ and VT-RM. Sansamp rules!

[@gravemistake2688]

Damn , I might have to get one of these now . Sounds great . \,,/

[@user-uj9wo8ht6s]

Wish you could make a demo for para DI with Uptight bass's piezo pickup!

[@jackshittle]

Frank has his own special tone (obviously) that we all know - much like back in the day I could hear a new Van Halen song that I've never heard but could tell it's them (before the lyrics start) by the crack of Alex's snare (which I love).

[@TundraWanderer]

Never listened to anthrax much but I love but sound of this pedal after seeing a couple demos on it and I gotta say I’m going to be picking one of these up when I can afford it 😂

[@OonaEskeli]

Awesome stuff. Hopefully this pedal will land Finland soon 🤘

[@alkrow1]

Great tones! One suggestion: would have been really helpful for live use if the filth button and, especially, the dirt button had been stomp switches, so they could be easily foot stomped on / off when needed for parts of songs. Not sure how tricky that would have been to incorporate?

[@1obzene]

Pedal sounds amazing! Did you go through an amp or was the pedal di to the recording interface?

[@Tech21nyc]

It was recorded direct. Thanks for asking.

[@NocturnalOverlord]

Sounds killer! Between the Street Driver 48, and VT Bass DI, which one has the most distortion without losing the low end?

[@Tech21nyc]

There is no loss of low end with any of our pedals. For the most distortion, we'd recommend the Street Driver 48. Thanks for asking!

[@NocturnalOverlord]

@@Tech21nyc Love the Sansamp BDDI btw! Also own the VT Bass rackmount, and the GED 2112 rackmount which are both killer and part of my studio rig. Just was curious about picking something else up to use live with the option for more distortion. The Street Driver definitely sounds up that alley! Thanks for the response!

[@demontesinferno6x6]

Frank is a grown ass man. As in he is clearly into the moment. the only thing that bugs me is that yall never talk about all the first era punk and math rock that influenced you , which turned into thrash.

[@hexdbvnger5431]

What is the song at 17:21-18:16? Sounds so familiar, can't remember who it's by

[@Tech21nyc]

It's an original YYNOT song called "Bully."

[@50beowulf]

Is there any cab sim on the XLR out?

[@Tech21nyc]

Yes, it’s on both the XLR & the 1/4”

[@RulgertGhostalker]

sort of off topic Question for Tech 21 NYC, i am getting a Mop Top Liverpool ( for guitar ), and i was wondering if there is any Cone Mode Filtering in the speaker circuit ? and i know that people can barely hear cone modes....it's interesting, like a drum or cymbal type of overtone series, inversely super imposed on a stringed instrument. i just wish there was a way to turn that up or down, and like select between filtering 15" cone mode overtones, or a 12", or a 10"..........i just wish i could adjust that.......i know that's weird, but what if it's neat ? ....the thing is, i Don't know if anyone has completely figured out that overtone series yet .... it's not as simple as string overtones. and maybe people don't need to be able to adjust that , but "what if" increasing cone mode filtering, had the psycho-acoustic effect of making people feel more like they were hearing an actual guitar or bass speaker ? maybe it does that, or maybe it just sounds sort of interesting ... do you understand my unknowing intrigue with this ? whatever the case....the notch filtering would make an instrument more transparent in a mix....just that is worth something there. i mean you guys understand notch filtering. but does anyone know how to calculate that overtone series ?

[@Tech21nyc]

The speaker emulation in the Character Plus series is analog. It is voiced and optimized for each individual pedal. Each pedal has 3 band active EQ that is after the amp and speaker emulation that allows you to adjust the tone to better suit your application. Because our speaker emulation is analog, it can work seamlessly with impulse responses if desired. If you have any further questions please contact our customer support team. [e-mail]

[@RulgertGhostalker]

i studied it in depth, all the demos sound fabulous, and it will work in context with all my situations....Thank You.@@Tech21nyc

[@RulgertGhostalker]

i like the instantaneous-ness and low power consumption of solid state analog, the form factor is of course remarkable, but that this will work in every scenario for me, makes it a miracle.@@Tech21nyc

[@RulgertGhostalker]

i can hear the 5AR4 type sag, and the minimal negative feedback of the AC-30 somehow comes across in the demos too... do you know how someone feels when they finally find their amp? .. that's mega.@@Tech21nyc

[@pissboy3125]

Bring the xxl back!

[@Tech21nyc]

We actually did re-release it awhile back, so it's possible we will consider it again in the future.

[@mrhyde2250]

Personally, I think the bass driver DI can do almost all of these tones, but this seems a little easier to dial in. I could play with nothing but these tones and be happy.

[@jugglerj0e]

Great Demo & Pedal. But you should have zooooomed in on the pedal to see it better.

[@Tech21nyc]

Happy you liked this video. You can see the pedal close up & read all the details on our web page, which is linked in the description. But for your convenience, here it is: www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/streetdriver48/ Note: all the settings that were used in this video are in the manual, which is linked on the web page. 😃

[@Bigscott4130]

Yet another reason why #timstaraceismyspiritanimal

[@RulgertGhostalker]

Tech 21 NYC, are you there?

[@RulgertGhostalker]

i have a Rulgert Ghostalker signature concept. it's one envelope follower, with two envelope depth controls individually modulating bit depth, and rate, and a wet dry blend ... it's a dynamic bit crushing transient shape-er

[@RulgertGhostalker]

visualize one of those 3.660" x 1.692" boxes .... 3 knobs on top, ( no foot switch ), input , output, power. But, it also has a 4th jack, on the input side ... a smaller 3.5mm jack ( maybe... just so it doesn't get confused ) that jack is switched, so it takes the envelope input away from the input jack...........so that the envelope signal can be routed from further up the chain ( allowing the effect to to get a clean envelope signal, if not early in the chain )

[@RulgertGhostalker]

and it is because it's a transient shape-er, that i don't think it needs a kick switch ... one could A/B with the blend...it's part of the tweak.

[@RulgertGhostalker]

the Klon has nothing on this thing.

[@RulgertGhostalker]

probably label the knobs Depth, Rate, Blend ....depth and rate are modulation amounts, but it's a delicate ear tweak anyway.
