@iamgribs 7 месяцев назад

I really like the mildly driven sound when the DRIVE is at about 1, 2/10. A+ sound. The higher level sounds useful also, for some situations, although my own preferred tone has less gain. I really like the DIRT switch - very nice fuzz sound. I am very picky with my fuzz, but that sounds like the perfect thing to mimic Cliff, Geezer or Lemmy. For a metal bassist this seems to be a very nice piece of kit. I'd get one if I didn't have a BassDriver already LOL.

Tech 21 just keeps cranking out bangers! If this had existed 3 years ago it would be on my board for sure. I am kind of curious what flavor of speaker/cab simulation this has in it...have any inside info on that?

@RodneyMcG 7 месяцев назад

From the info I've read, there isn't a speaker sim per se. It's a great tone stack for sure (corrected from the source! knowing Frank's gear, the "flavor" probably isn't a tough guess ;) )

@Tech21nyc 7 месяцев назад

All SansAmps have speaker/cab sim. The Street Driver 48 is "Frank-flavored!" 😃

@tibi1687 7 месяцев назад

hey Rodney! Great to see you pumping and grinding! keep it up bro! 5:08. The the Street driver is based on the para driver circuit. While on the road, Tim met with Frank and integrated the para driver in his rig and then they began work from there to this pedal. there are some old clips and insta stories of this.

@RodneyMcG 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info!

@kimfaucher007 7 месяцев назад

Yeah…. I bought the Frank Bello EMG pickups… I still have to practice some more to play like him… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@beer_bass 7 месяцев назад

Hey Rodney! Great vid as always. I was stoked about this pedal, and purchased one just when the demos came out. I emailed Tech 21 about details. "The filth and tone are propriety controls and custom tuned to the pedal. The pedal is based on the GT2 but voiced to Frank's specs." Cool but I wasn't as happy with mine as I thought I should have been. I wanted a BDDI on steroids, and to replace my BDDI, but i didn't feel that way about it. Great pedal, just not for me. So back to the BDDI and repurchase an SH1 that I had previously sold.

@RodneyMcG 7 месяцев назад

Different strokes, as they say. I love the sh1 as well.

@joeballs5669 7 месяцев назад

not for me either......thin , tinny , junky tones

@beer_bass 7 месяцев назад

@@joeballs5669 like I said I was hoping to replace my BDDI. But that was a no go. But I just didn’t care for the dirt on it either. Just a one and done. But then Bass Driver and SH1 together kick a$$

@simonrowe7484 5 месяцев назад

Great review ! I tried one today & as you’d noted, It doesn’t seem based on the bass driver (I have one & love it). I liked it, but I wasn’t 100% sure …will try the Geddy pedal and decide !

They probably meld a BDDI old version with a KHDK Abyss as Frank Bello use both unit in his rack for years

@ObeseChess 5 месяцев назад

I was between this and the YYZ and was waiting to hear your review - there’s just too much clank in this for me, and it doesn’t look like that can be dialed out as much as I’d like. YYZ it is!

That sounds very cool … with this amount of gain a clean blend would have been nice, but this is still cool.

@jackshittle 3 месяца назад

Great video Rodney! I have the SD48 & the DP-3X (which I've had a lot longer) & was confused by something. When I use my DP-3X the volume knob just has to be barely up like between 7 and 8 o'clock & the tone is punchy, articulate etc., everything I like. But when I swap out to the SD48, the level knob has to be put at 9 o'clock to get the same volume as my DP-3X (or leave the level set lower but crank the volume on my Eden). I don't think I even had a level/volume knob that has to be put at 9 o'clock.

@RodneyMcG 3 месяца назад

My instinct says because the DP is technically 2 channels layered, the stack of them cretes a louder initial gain stage

@LoadedGeorge 5 месяцев назад

i am currently testing the Street Driver - I have been using Geddy's DI-2112 and I only want to keep one. I can't seem to get any of the sounds you get out of it unfortunately - the Drive always seems farty and out of place, probably going to return it, unless I find out what to do with it - but I will probably stick with the 2112, and maybe change that for the upcoming XB driver.

@nuldorvamoysenor2091 6 месяцев назад

Not an Anthrax kind of guy, but this pedal sounds pretty awesome, i'd choose this over a Sansamp any day of the week. The Sansamp has that watery sound, you all know what i mean, that jumping in puddles sound. I don't like that sound very much.

@TheBeardofDOOM 7 месяцев назад

Sounds great! Do you prefer this over the dUg?

2 different animals. It would depend on the project

@BigMuff75 5 месяцев назад

Does it support Phantom Power via the XLR jack?

@RodneyMcG 5 месяцев назад

I don't belive so, but you may want to double check with Tech21

@Jak_Low 7 месяцев назад

The StreetDriver48 sounds great! Different, but it definitely still has that Tech21 pedal sound I love. Ill never sell my Sansamp, its still to this day my all time favorite bass pedal.

@kevinmacza7128 7 месяцев назад

A suggestion for the future: Perhaps toggle between the effect and bypass to give an idea how much coloration to expect, especially for those looking for an always-on tone shaper.

@RodneyMcG 7 месяцев назад

Good input.
