Hey man, don’t suppose you know what the difference is between the Paradriver and the BassDriver? Wanted to get my hands on a Sansamp for a while and this one looks wicked!

Hi, after a quick search on google I’ve found this on another forum with someone asking the same question as you. Hope this helps. Cheers - Anth 👍🏻

 

The Guys Question was  

“I've messed with the Bass Driver and it works ok but seems to steal some punch and some of the acoustic overtones. I've heard the SansAmp Para Driver described as "the best features of the Bass Driver plus a parametric EQ" but the Tech 21 website lists it specifically for acoustic intruments”

“Is it worth my $$ to get the SansAmp Para Driver? Will I get something more than what I currently have with the SansAmp Bass Driver?

Answer from Tech 21

“I emailed Tech 21 about it and here is their response....

Thanks for your inquiry. There's only a small difference between the Bass Driver and Para Driver for bass... the Bass Driver always has a mid-scoop, and the Presence puts an "edge" on the tube emulation and overdrive. This can be subtle, as in "note-articulation and definition", or pronounced, as in that trebly "click". The Para Driver obviously has more midrange control, but a slightly "mellower" overdrive (without the Presence control). So, if you need the "angry white-boy band", aggresive "grind" of a vintage Ampeg SVT, the Bass Driver's the one. But if you simply need the warm tube amp tone of say, an Ampeg B15 (heard on millions of pop and Motown hits), the Para Driver's a great choice.

For upright, I'd say the Para Driver will be the better of the two. Its Mid and Mid Shift will offer you some crucial tone control.

The Para Driver is an excellent but of kit, far better than the Bass Driver imo, you don’t often see these up for grabs. And I find it a lot more versatile than Lloyd from the company described it, really think he’s selling their product short there.

Yep. IMO the Paradriver is the best thing Tech21 has ever made.

Cheers Lozz, I’ve replaced it with an Ampeg Scrambler DI. Not sure I’m doing the right thing now as the Para Driver seems to be getting the thumbs up on here  🤷‍♂️   
The Para Driver has a smaller footprint too!
