It depends on what you are expecting of your Pre-Amp. Coloration or OD etc.
Aphex Punch Factory(2nd Generation) is a compressor that functions as a D.I too.
D.I will be provided at gigs.

dont use od at all. more of coloration. but not so much that it eliminates my tone. its more of enhancing my tone.

 

[Colarndo]

Some Solid State pedals with D.I
SansAmp B.D.D.I: Tube coloration with OD
Sadowsky Pre Amp: Good for slapping
Hartke Bass Attack:Modded after SansAmp
Behringer Bass BDI21: Shameless rip off of SansAmp

There are tons of tube D.I pre-amps out there too.
