Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI

In this video by EMG Backstage, the guitar tech of Anthrax and Helmet's bassist Frank Bello does a brief rig rundown where he points at that Frank uses a simple rig consisting of only 1 effects pedal, the Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI pedal. "A Sansamp is the only pedal we need. That's a Bass Driver DI and so we use that to get a little overdrive; a little blend of what he wants. That just runs straight into the Hartke LH1000" - [Frank Bello's Guitar Tech](https://youtu.be/W_cYTcr6hBw?t=1m4s)

The Sansamp Bassdriver can be seen velcroed on the side of his amprack on [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM4zJIwXLQg) at 1:04.

In a 2001 interview for Bass Player, Mike Inez is quoted, “I also use the SansAmp to dirty up my sound in my Ultimate Ears inears. I keep them at about 3 or 4, so they’re more like earplugs, while still allowing me to hear my rig and side fills, if needed. Mix-wise, I have the whole band in my in-ears, with a bit more Jerry in the left ear.” The article also reports that Mike Inez "plugs into a SansAmp Bass DI live, which sends his signal three ways (direct, amp, and miked-amp) to the house board."

in a recent interview for the Alter bridge tour he mention that he use the sans amp DI for more dirtyness in his sound to match Tremonti and Kennedy attack....lol

"What are you guys using on this album?" Ahren Stringer: "Me personally, I used a Mesa Classic through a SansAmp, Ernie Ball Music Man guitars – a StingRay – and yeah, that’s pretty much all I used. Keep it simple. It’s a great sound; I love it. It’s nice and easy." "And the SansAmp – have you been using those for a while?" Stringer: "Yeah, pretty much since I started playing bass." There is also another article from Bass Guitar Magazine titled "[Ahren Stringer of The Amity Affliction considers bass options](http://www.bassguitarmagazine.com/news/ahren-stringer-of-the-amity-affliction-considers-bass-options/)" where it lists that he uses "Effects Sansamp."

Artist's pedalboard from Instagram

Used this instead of an amp in 2015

On this instagram picture, you can see the SansAmp on his pedal board. He probably splits the guitar signal with his Boss Tuner. One output goes to the dirt boxes (Micro Amp, Blues Driver and Fat Fuzz) and the Tremolo and then to the Fender Deville. The other goes through the POG and then to the SansAmp and probably to an Ampeg bass amp. That's how he gets that full, fat sound.
