I stayed away from pedals going in direct because they tend to add noise. I'm an obsessive audiophile--any extra noise is unacceptable. So I tended to use rack mounted stuff. I was using two signal processors--one was an Alesis and I can't remember the other. These could allow cool stuff like stereo fx and like that. Noiseless. They are definitely more DI friendly than pedals. Probably cheaper than a lot of pedals. Something to look into. For bass guitar, I use a Boss digital fx pedal--nothing better, I don't care what anyone says.
