Programmable drive pedal

Hey guys, I'm after a bit of advice. I'm currently using a Ashdown Lomenzo hyperdrive pedal to add some grit to my sound, but am finding that i need varying levels for different songs. I know you can just adjust the drive/blend levels but when it's onstage and between songs it's just too much messing about. So i'm thinking of something like a Sansamp programmable BDDI so i can set the presets to the sound i need for certain songs and simply switch between. So, my question is, is there anything else that does this which i can compare it with, and also can you bypass the sansamp for when i just want my amp sound or do you just keep the blend right down for when i want clean amp signal?
Cheers

another option is the Source Audio multiwave bass distortion pro, with 6 user presets and graphic e.q.

you can dial in how much drive/clean signal and different e.q. for each preset.

pros : it is good value for money, and pairs up nicely with other pedals, and has plenty of variety.

cons : the (digital) distortion sound is not for everyone, and personally i grew out of my initial love of it, as it was a bit synthetic for me, but some people rate it.

..perhaps worth watching the demo on their website.

Shameless plug but mine is for sale on ebay at the moment and is the deluxe version. You can bypass the tone with a single click and it's pretty clean as stated. It does low gain dirt very well but the high gain tones aren't great unless the blend control is pretty low.

What's the differences between the deluxe and the normal programmable BDDI?
