well i would recommend runing your bass thru some butique pre di and then go thru the virus Input but generaly any cheap ass DI will do the job.

How will that affect my setup? I want the Virus and my pedals in my eccets loop. Will a DI affect that?

A cheap DI will sound, er, cheap! A class A valve/tube DI sounds fekkin awesome...

But it shouldnt stop you from running the bass into the Virus.

The difference between B/C series Virus? There is a comparison chart on the Access website. I think with the C you get more polyphony, EQ/FX per part, and also the MOOG filters...

Any recomendations for a DI?

Since I'll essentially be using the Virus as another effect pedal I'll need some kind of footswitch right? What brands do you suggest?

I would suggest one of the Sansamp DIs,maybe the bass driver model.
these DIs are also excelent for tracking.

honestly, using a virus c or ti as a guitar effects module?

seems a bit excessive, and expensive. i'd probably use my jp8080 for tha purpose before my virus. especially since my 8080 has that formant vocoder.

I kinda agree, unless you will also be using it for it's intended purpose too? Maybe you are after just a filter bank or something?

It does seem like alot of money to spend if you are just going to run your bass through it.

i was under the impression he was going to use it as a synth at the same time... :\

I straight connect my bass(active)

into the TI's input, no DI-box!!! Sounds pretty frigging great!!!! Even better when SX3 is running the inputs.
