This looks like it could be quite interesting:
"[color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The Ampeg SCR-DI Bass DI with Scrambler™ Overdrive is a true Ampeg preamp, delivering a wide range of Ampeg tone perfect for the stage. The classic Ampeg EQ offers additional tonal control including Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo tone shaping. Plus, you can dial in tube-like grind with the all-new Bass Scrambler overdrive. The SCR-DI has all the connections to get Ampeg tone out of any rig and send it all to front-of-house to ensure the audience hears your tone. With a built-in headphone out and aux in for practicing along with backing tracks, the SCR-DI is also a fantastic practice tool that can fit right into your gig bag. "[/size][/font][/color]

Wonder how much it will be...

OK, so it's definitely a grit maker!

You could suggest that the pedal is, give or take, the new BA115 preamp in a box. Sounds pretty damn good to me though, and the simple functionality really appeals.

Colour me interested!

all comes down to price...

Presumably their (late) response to the vtdi etc.
price point is the key thing as already mentioned

Yep, makes sens for them to finally get into the pre-amp/DI pedal market.

Does this mean there's gonna be an influx of VT Bass's and Sansamp's hitting eBay fairly soon then?

My VT Bass DI is trembling...

Looking forward to trying one of these out. Big footprint, though, and the Scrambler circuit sounds a bit pants from that demo.

I reckon the Scrambler will be ok on lower settings - just to add a bit of dirt in, rather than like on the demo where buckets of it was used.

According to this the price is $279, so I'd expect it to be more than £200. It will have to be really, really good at that price.

Hmm, I would expect closer to £279, given the way the pound-dollar usually works for us. £249, perhaps, which would put it above its competitors.

The Scrambler side needs to be good to justify that, for sure.

That's not going to be particularly competitive to be fair.

I was able to get an interview and hands on with the device and get some answers to some I heard from some people online, like how it is based on the BA line of amps.

Check out this write up about it and where to order it for less than the $199 price that everywhere else is charging right now.
