Just like its exceptionally popular pedal
predecessor, SansAmp RBI offers you an entire sound spectrum of the most coveted traditional
and modern bass amp systems --including mondo overdriven tones that typically require a
complex mass of gizmos that weren't even designed for bass in the first place. Sample
settings, such as SVT®- style, Bassman®-style, King's X-style, and Crimson-style (to name a
few) are included in the owner's manual to get you started.
Most controls are the same as SansAmp Bass Driver DI:
Drive adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive; Presence brings out the upper
harmonic content and attack; Blend allows you to mix the direct instrument signal with
SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry; and active Bass and Treble controls cut or boost
±12dB.
So what's different about SansAmp RBI?
SansAmp RBI features a dedicated Mid control; individual Level control for the XLR out
to optimize your amp's output relative to the P.A. system; Effects Loop; Mix 50/50 switch to
configure the Effects Loop in series or parallel; 1/4" rear input and XLR output with
select- able levels; buffered uneffected XLR output to run a dry signal to a separate
channel; Footswitch input to engage unit; and Footswitch output to chain and toggle between
another SansAmp RBI.
Streamline your setup --physically and financially.
SansAmp RBI gives you a truckload of bass amp rigs in a single rackspace. When you
start with a solid foundation of tone, you can travel as heavy or light as you like:
- Float into any studio with just a SansAmp RBI and plug directly into the board.
- Go to a gig with a SansAmp RBI, a Bass Power Wedge 60 (see optional accessories
below) and run directly through the house P.A. system.
- Take a more "traditional" set-up to a gig with a SansAmp RBI, power amp and speaker
cabinet, and run directly through the house P.A. system.
In case you were wondering, you can switch between sounds by chaining to another
SansAmp RBI. If you prefer programmability, please consider our own "not-just-for-guitar"
SansAmp PSA-1. There are 10 presets devoted to bass and 49 user-definable locations for
storing custom settings.
