For over 30 years, we’ve been obsessed with bass tone. Now, that obsession has been forged into a single, sleek machine: the SansAmp XB Driver. We’ve fused the soul of our most iconic pedals—the Bass Driver DI, Para Driver DI, QStrip, and the dUg Pinnick Ultra Bass 1000—into one formidable unit. Go from classic warmth to outright destruction in a single step.
This is a vault of legendary tones. A 100% analog, dual-channel powerhouse with 15 knobs and 3 switches, intuitively arranged for tone-sculpting without the headache. Two full-frequency channels—Clean and Drive—operate independently or blend seamlessly via the Mix footswitch. Engage the crossover to activate sweepable low- and high-pass filters, and carve out a sound that’s unmistakably yours.
Inspired by tone pioneers like dUg Pinnick, who defied logic by running multiple amp rigs to legendary results, the XB Driver is our tribute to that spirit of innovation. It’s for players who demand maximum flexibility and refuse to settle.
Plug in anywhere: as a stompbox, a preamp, or straight into a mixer or interface. This is more than a pedal—it’s a dual-amp toolbox built to unleash your best playing.

A pure analog dual-channel direct box for the working musician. Sculpt your sound with dedicated Bass, Treble, Mid Shift, and Mid EQ controls per channel, along with individual Level knobs and a Master Volume.
The pristine Clean channel features a classic FET-based compressor, delivering the warm, transparent, and musical squash of vintage studio gear.
The aggressive Drive channel is equipped with Drive and Bite controls, plus Pre/Post and Crossover switches for ultimate tonal flexibility.
At its heart lies our proprietary SansAmp analog speaker and cabinet emulation. This is not an afterthought; it’s an integral part of the circuit, faithfully capturing the character of a miked guitar cabinet with a smooth, even response. It delivers the complex tone of a multi-miked setup, free from the harsh peaks and notches of a single microphone.
Run it as a stompbox into your amp, a preamp into a power section, or go direct to a PA or recording interface—your perfect tone is always ready.
