I used to own an MXR Bass DI+ a while ago, and I absolutely loved it. I sold it as I didn't play bass much in the last couple of years.
I'm starting to pick bass up again, and I want to rebuild my little bass board. The MXR M80 was the heart of my rig back then, really. It was great in front of my Ampeg. It was an always on type of pedal. I just switched between the clean and the dirty sound in it. I loved that I could go direct with it as well.
The MXR was great, but time has passed, and I'm wondering what else there is nowadays as far as a dual-channel (clean/dirty) bass preamp with EQ capabilities that can go direct. I'd love the distortion side to have clean blend capabilities. The one thing I'd change about the Bass DI+ is that the distortion sounded a bit too pedal-ish. Kinda like a Boss DS1. Not bad, but I'm wondering if there's anything more amp-like nowadays.
What are you guys' recommendations?
Thanks
