Behringer bd21i, what to put with it?

[zonular]

Hey all

Couple of pints and it looks like I ordered a bd21i sansamp / Di clone.

 

How do you guys use it? 

I'm debating a zoom ms60b+

 

Would the two together suffice for a micro board?

Well, I guess it depends what you're looking to do with effects. Do you want to get wild and make some insane sounds? Or is this just a situation where you want a little compression and dirt, with the odd modulation sprinkled in sometimes?

tbh I don't think you'll need bd2i if you've got ams60b, I didn't need mine with a Zoom B1on, unless you need the XLR out

Compression and dirt for the most part

IME a BDI21 is redundant if you already own an MS-60B. I own a SansAmp RBI and don't use it anymore except for the studio. The MS-60B emulates it OK, and that's what I use for any home recording and live needs. Compression and a dirty "preamp" is 99% of what I do with my Zooms.

Put it last in the chain so the di can be used as a di if needed.

Put an envelope filter, octave, compressor and maybe a drive in front.

 

Job done.
