Tone and flexibility to spare
This is my DI, and, essentially the amp sound for my IEM's. Very Ampeg-like tone, obviously, and lots of routing options. I love it.

An unopened unit was listed for sale on Reverb.com in November 2020.
Robert DeLeo shows off his latest pedal board for STPs 2022 tour on his Instagram feed.
"It was during that tour that then 19-year-old bass player Paolo Gregoletto first truly roadtested his Kustom Groove Bass stage rig. That rig consisted of two Kustom Groove Bass 1200 heads (1,200 watts each), two Groove Bass 410H cabinets (each loaded with four 10-inch Eminence® speakers and compression horn drivers) and one Groove Bass 215H cabinet (loaded with two 15-inch Eminence speakers and a compression horn driver). “Not only have I gotten the tone I want,” says Paolo, “but I am able to crank it with 1,200 watts of immense power! The low end is amazing. It literally shakes the stage every night.” When asked about any other elements of his stage rig Paulo says, “The only thing I use in between my bass and my Groove Bass rig is a Sans Amp pedal to give it a slightly dirtier sound when and if I want that.”" kustom.com
On a forum I saw someone quote the Kustom website. I couldn´t find that article but this was the closest thing I found to what pedals he uses.
