Para Driver DI

The Tech 21 Para Driver DI is a versatile floor version of the RPM rackmount, offering detailed tone shaping possibilities for various signal sources, including acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, as well as upright bass. It provides a natural warmth and presence to instruments, simulating the sound as if miking it through a tube pre-amp. The SansAmp circuitry eliminates harsh, unnatural harmonics of piezo pickups, while the Drive control offers tasteful edge, from subtle to over-the-top.

Key Features:
- Active tone controls with 12dB of cut or boost
- Sweepable semi-parametric EQ
- 1/4-inch 4.7 megOhm instrument level input
- 1/4-inch and XLR outputs with selectable levels
- Parallel, uneffected output to run a dry signal to a separate channel
- Built-in speaker/cab simulation using 100% analog SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation technology
- Measures 4.75″ x 3.75″ x 2″
- Operable via phantom power or 9V alkaline battery
- Optional DC power supply available (Tech 21 model #DC9)

Version 2 of the Para Driver DI retains the same tonality and functionality as the original, with the addition of two new features: Rumble Filter and Air. The Rumble Filter removes unwanted sub-sonic frequencies that cause boominess and audible handling noises associated with acoustic guitars, while the Air button adds top-end clarity and sparkle to acoustics.

The pedal also includes sample settings in the owner’s manual for various instruments and applications, such as acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, upright bass, electric violin, drums, and more.
