Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 PedalTube Amp emulation in a stomp box. With three awesome-sounding, distinct amp voices- British, California and Tweed, this is one of the most versatile overdrive pedals ever. Fantastic for recording!
SansAmp GT2's streamlined design allows you to architecturally create your own rig in seconds by choosing amplifier type, modification, and speaker cabinet/mic placement configurations.
We've taken the best parts of the most wanted tube amplifier set-ups and broken them down into individual, user-accessible components. You can easily mix and match specific sound characteristics in ways that would otherwise be physically improbable, probably impractical, and definitely not cost effective.
Character switches include
Mic
- Classic = distant miking without ambiance.
- Center = close miking at the center of a speaker cone.
- Off-Axis = close miking at the edge of a speaker cone.
Mod
- Clean, which gives you a stock tube amp set-up.
- Hi Gain, which gives you an extra gain stage, as if you were to install an additional 12AX7 tube in the pre-amp section.
- Hot-Wired, which gives you a scooped-out midrange for a sizzling, over-the-edge quality.
Amp
- Tweed = Fender-style
- British = Marshall-style
- California = Mesa Boogie-style
- Knob controls fine tune the sound for any application.
- Drive adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive.
- Level adjusts the output level, without altering any tonal characteristics.
The on-board active tone controls compensate for the limited range of guitar speaker cabinets and combos, offering optimum control in any situation.
TECH 21 - GREAT TONE. BUILT RIGHT.
In 1989, after ten years exhaustive research and development with world-class guitar amplifiers, a tired but victorious B. Andrew Barta launched his unique SansAmp. This revolutionary pedal-sized tube amplifier emulator enables musicians to dial in monster tones and patch them directly to a studio mixer or stage PA. Its discrete 100% analog circuitry uses a hyper-realistic tone structure that includes mic and speaker simulation with pre and power amp distortion characteristics. Finally, it was possible to get stunning, consistent tones without brutalizing amps, heaving speaker cabs or futzing with microphones to find that elusive
sweet spot. Instead, the SansAmp delivered all of its mammoth sounds from a pocket-sized pedal.
A decade and a half later, the SansAmp technology has developed into an impressive line of products to cover every application. Each product is still hand-built in the USA using the best possible materials and exclusive components, such as our smooth custom actuators which are licensed to other major manufacturers. Tech 21’s range of products are developed with a critical ear for tonal perfection and an open ear to our customers’ needs.
The sample settings for SansAmp models and guitar and bass amplifiers include such classics as Marshall, Fender, Mesa/Boogie, SVT and artists like Santana, Metallica, Van Halen and Hendrix. These settings are also a starting point for you to find your own individual tone and style using Tech 21's original products.
