I've heard many times here how crappy Behringer stuff is, though some people like it. My one band has a Behringer board that seems to be okay.

 

Anyway, in the quest to try to improve my tone should I consider one of these? I realize they are a cheap Sansamp knockoff, but they are only $55 CAD new.

Better idea to pay $200 for a used Tech21 BDDI?

At least one forumite (PresitaRules, IIRC) has one. He was impressed with it considering the price.

 

I read a thread on ebassist that said (paraphrasing), "The Behringer is great for the money, but the Tech21 is better and should be your choice if you can afford it."

 

If the Sansamp isn't for you, you can always unload it on eBay for not too much less than what you sold it for.

See if they'll let you take it home first....

I'm betting it's crappy. I hate the behringer bass stuff. There's got to be a better option for you. I had PA stuff from them. It's okay.

It's a copy of the Tech21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI (BDDI). I mean, they even put Bass BDI 21 on the name! :rolleyes:

I know - I don't know how they get away with that {censored}.

 

I'm gonna think about it. The Behringer is cheap and I can get it in town, but really, do I want {censored} gear? On the other hand, it could be a short term quick/cheap fix.:confused:

I had one and, althought it sounded pretty good, I returned it because the AC adapter socket didn't work. I'm now going to try and avoid Behringer products as much as possible.
