Sansamp sound differences

[nash]

Any with first hand experience between the normal and programable versions?

Also any good alternatives that are the MXR?

I replaced a normal one with a programmable and haven't noticed any difference

I went the other way, Programmable to Normal BDDI and never noticed any difference in sound either. Good bit of kit, for sure.

I actually tried the Behringer BDI 21 as well which is a really good clone. It has a plastic enclosure which isn't really ideal for durability but at about 30 quid you can't expect too much.

I never much liked the sound of the MXR DI from the demos I watched so I've never been inclined to give it a go.

Obviously it should say "that aren't MXR".

Also any thoughts of the Aguilar Tonehammer?

Tonehammer was like the Sansamp, same thick throaty sound, but much more versatile due to the sweepable mids. I really liked it, but it wasn`t the right pedal for me at the time so I moved it on. If I were looking for a valve-type DI pedal again, this is where I`d spend my money.
