SansAmp XB Driver

The SansAmp XB Driver encapsulates over 30 years of bass gear design into a powerful dual-channel, bi-amp, DI toolbox. This 100% analog pedal offers a wide range of bass tones, inspired by legendary bass innovators, and is ideal for achieving both traditional and experimental sounds.

With 15 knobs, 3 switches, and built-in speaker/cabinet simulation, the XB Driver delivers the flexibility of dual independent channels—Clean and Drive—that can be used separately or blended via the Mix mode. Additional tone-shaping is possible with the crossover switch, enabling the LPF and HPF filters.
