Review The Tech 21 Para Driver DI

This is a wonderful product. I play an Eastman hollow body through a Henriksen jazz amp. I thought I was getting great tone but this little device takes it to a new level. Increased control of bass, treble, and mid. Wonderful, warm sound. Service and price from Sweetwater is unbeatable.

High Quality bass sounds!

The Para Driver DI is a very impressive piece of gear. It's designed to use for multiple applications, but I added it to my recent Sweetwater order because Tech21 Sansamp products have a great reputation among bass players when it comes to getting great live and recorded bass sounds. I'm happy to say that Sweetwater delivered and so does the The Para Driver DI. I needed something to get great recorded bass sounds and this seemed to be everything other Sansamp products are AND it has the MID controls, which most others don't. I'm a guitarist with a home studio and decades of live and studio experience. I already have guitar gear expenses and studio expenses to keep my busy wallet busier. I have friends bring their big money basses and amps over and record a bass line on my songs, but often record my own bass parts on my recordings. I did a lot of research into finding the best and least expensive options for getting similar sounds to the impressive bass rigs. I didn't want to divert much money from the guitar and studio gear list to aquire the high quality bass sounds I wanted. I found a great solution with a wide variety of sound options. I often recommend The Para Driver DI to bass players and they usually already know about it and usually have great things to say about Sansamp.

Solid "make it better" box

Just picked up this little bugger and was surprised by how great the EQ section changed my bass. The different tones that you can tweak out of the Sansamp make me not want to look at other pedals, except maybe a compressor. But honestly this guy adds so much sustain I think I can get by for a while.

A very useful tool

I was about to tour overseas in a brand new territory and was worried about the quality and consistency of my backline/stage sound. Sweetwater was the only place I could get an overnight delivery guaranteed to make it before my flight. It was worth every penny including what I paid for speedy delivery. Both myself and our soundguy were relieved to have a consistent sound every night at the amp and at the board. Having the preamp controls on a DI box really changed my approach to stage sound. Every night I got the sound I wanted for my electric vioin regardless of the local sound equipment. Since then I have recorded bass and synth direct with the ParaDI and I can dial in amazing tone across a wide spectrum. On stage or in studio the ParaDI is a very useful tool.
