Maude Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Most Line6 multi effects units have all the amp/cab/effect sims for both guitar and bass in them including pre amp sims for guitar, bass and vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Shameless plug but this is a good unit for bass/guitar/vox, two channels can also be run simultaneously http://basschat.co.uk/topic/312041-fs-line-6-pod-x3-pro-fxmodel-for-bassguitarvox/ Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://acmeaudio.net/motown-di/"]http://acmeaudio.net/motown-di/[/url] [/quote] These looks great and get good reviews. Thanks for the heads up. From personal experience I'd also recommend any of the [url="http://www.radialeng.com/radial-products.php"]Radial DI boxes[/url]. Superb sound quality and built like tanks. For bass, the [url="http://www.littlelabs.com/redeye.html"]Little Labs Redeye[/url] is something that gets consistently great reviews from pros and amateurs alike. I don't have any experience with it, but seems well worth a look. Beyond these you're getting into the realms of stuff like 500 series (aka lunchboxes) and other pro outboard. If so, you can't [i]ever[/i] go wrong with an [url="http://www.apiaudio.com/product.php?id=103"]API 512c[/url] or similar, which are pretty much 'industry standard' when it comes to multi-purpose DI for guitar, bass, vocals... whatever you choose to throw at it.

tonyxtiger Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 you could use the tech 21 Q\strip which is a studio EQ and Preamp with a DI? Sounds great. https://fxpedalrental.com/tech21-q-strip-studio-eq-and-preamp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got two independent channels with a mic and instrument input on each. I bought it because I thought I would use all the functionality but as I use it exclusively in the studio, I've got multi-channel functionality anyway. I also thought that running two mics (on acoustic guitar) into this and running hardware FX before going into the desk and using plug-ins might save some processing power but I've got too many units and I realised I'm starting to complicate what was supposed to be a very simple studio set up again (bloody eBay/Basschat)! I imagine that live it would have pretty much every base/bass covered to be honest. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wouldn't be able to run a guitar and bass at the same time, but the Tech21 ParaDriver DI works really well for both guitar and Bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
