I wanted- the bas just produced a dull thudding sound

This little thing will clean up your bass sound

I also admit that cheap instruments sound cheap, and my Memphis is no exception.2- For expert ears, tonal coloring is no substitute of a good instrument

It is NOT a substitute for a classic tube amp, but with low expectations I was really impressed with the positive sound it gave me

Nice clear sound, good tones and wide range to work with.

Also, despite claims that you can put a 6-string guitar though this, i tried but could not dial up a very good sound

Good tone unit that will make a cheap bass sound like a quality one

This is even better, good thing I really adore the sound now because the "stock" mode is currently glitching

First it makes your cheap instrument sound like is 5 times (in my case 10) more expensive

The BDI21 gives me a nice warm adjustable tube sound for very little cash output.

Make your cheap bass sound decent

I like the DI part as well just one little box to plug in direct on stage for a great Bass sound.

The tube emulator is super beefy; it will give your bass a sound similar to a Marshall guitar head and really boosts the overall tone when you're playing with a full band

I can definitely get a better sound with this than without it when recording, but it's not the magic

This item is well worth the money and the sound is awsome, which is what you want.

i also got a pair of studio headphones from behringer that were only $25, they are ruggedly made and rival the sound of the $150 pair of sennheisers i use

It seems to give good true sound in bypass mode

I gave it 2 stars since it does provide some nice warm sound.

The EQ provided great tone and the presence\blend sounded incredible

I have not yet explored all of the options available, but definitely some great combinations of classic amp sounds

This sounds so great through the keyboard amp and many house mixes

My friend has a SansAmp DI (apparently the more expensive version of this pedal) and we both agree that the Behringer almost produces a better sound.

Behringer's build quality can be dubious sometimes, but overall their stuff produces sounds that should satisfy anyone who isn't a picky audiophile.

but I can overlook them for its awesome sound and versatility.

Makes a passive bass sound crisp and fuller

This is a great sounding, value for money pedal

After playing a gig with my crummy bass amp mic'ed with a cheap "all-purpose" dynamic by an unprepared sound guy, I needed a solution

Excellent sound for the priceI needed a direct box / amp modelling pedal to play straight into mixing board / PA and was looking

Between running this into my interface then using compression, Cab IRs and reverb, I can get a great sound on recordings

This is an incredibly inexpensive active DI with a nice sounding pre-amp, and it's as cheap as anything.

At the price I highly recommend trying one out, and not just for a recording application but for live sound as well.

It does the job; makes the sound warmer and more amp-like

great sounds from this box

great sound.

The BDI21 is just the thing to warm up my sound.
