I have two basses I really like. Both sound good, but they need different EQ settings. I thought that a fast way to be able to go from one bass to the other is to have two EQ settings "pre-programmed." I have a Sansamp Bass Driver DI, that is the only pedal I spent some real money on, and I have always thought it was well worth it. What if I added a second one for the 2nd bass? BUT a real SansAmp BDDI goes for between $150 and $250 used here...which got me thinking that maybe a clone...?
So I got this Caline clone for $35 on Amazon. The one bit of good news is that the tones coming out of the Caline clone are REALLY close to those of the Actual SansAmp BDDI. The bad news is what else is coming out of it, namely, Spanish language radio.
I am thinking I'll try to exchange it. If that doesn't work (and no one here has a great idea for getting rid of the noise), I'll just return it and see if I can find a used Behringer clone. They are about twice as expensive, used, as the Caline. But that's still about half the cost of a genuine Tech 21.... Or I hold out for the real deal. Given easy returns by Amazon, I am not in the "good money after bad" stage of trying to save a buck... but may be there soon.
