The Bass Shop is stoked to finally have the Bass Driver DI Elite in stock. Extensive, yet inexpensive for a solid pedal that does pretty much everything a bass player needs for stage or studio.
Here's Tech 21's description:
Just as the original SansAmp was a personal mission to encapsulate tube amplifier sounds in a compact, portable pedal, inventor Andrew Barta has long been on a quest to do the same in the digital domain. Never one to jump on a bandwagon, Barta wouldn’t “go digital” until he found a way to replicate the dynamics, responsiveness and fluidity of its analog counterpart.
The SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver ELITE has two modes:
• Performance mode to have your 3 main presets at the ready.
• Studio mode for up to 128 locations for custom presets.
There’s an additional “Red Zone” that changes the functionality of the controls to include Preamp, Filter, Frequency, Q, Ambiance, Ratio and Chorus. It can also activate pre-programmed Chorus and/or Filter effects.
The MIDI interface enables deep editing of parameters for amplifiers, blendable IRs, effects and EQ. The IR section includes a SansAmp IR, a curated collection of modifiable IRs, the ability to custom blend them, as well as upload your favorite external IRs. Clear, uncomplicated graphics, and intuitive controls provide ease of use to achieve your desired tones.
As is the case with all Tech 21 products, the controls are designed to give you maximum flexibility to obtain your desired sound. It is our hope that the SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI ELITE will be a useful addition to your arsenal for stimulating your creativity and, ultimately, playing your best.

Returns
The Bass Shop offers a 48 hour trial period for your approval. However, all returns are subject to a 10% restocking fee, regardless of reason. You must call before returning the bass. The customer is responsible for all shipping charges. This may sound harsh, but this serves to eliminate the “weekend rental” syndrome, minimize buyer’s remorse, and save wear and tear on instruments. It also costs us thousands of dollars a year in fees. So make absolutely sure you want what you are buying, clear it with your spouse, and know that you are buying a bass that is accurately described and professionally set up. Sometimes a bass can go out of whack, especially during summer and winter, so if there is a set up issue when you get the bass, please give us a call and we can talk you through a minimal tweak to make it perfect again. Lastly, if a purchase is made and The Bass Shop has received approval from your credit card company, it is considered a sale, regardless of whether the bass has been shipped or not. So if you decide to back out of a deal after your card has been charged, you are still subject to the 10% restocking fee. In the case of an instrument that is damaged or delivered to the customer with any defects as a result of shipping, The Bass Shop will arrange return of the bass and you will not be responsible for shipping or the restocking fee.
