TECH 21, THE COMPANY
Tech 21 was formed by a guitarist possessing the unusual combination of a
trained ear and electronics expertise. In 1989, B. Andrew Barta incorporated
Tech 21 and made his invention commercially available to players and studios
around the world. His highly-acclaimed
SansAmp™ pioneered Tube
Amplifier Emulation in professional applications for recording direct and per-
forming live, and created an entirely new category of signal processing. There
have since been many entries into this niche, yet SansAmp continues to main-
tain its reputation as the industry standard.
In addition to a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 also offers “traditional”
style amplifiers for guitar and bass, effect pedals, and battery operable MIDI
footcontrollers. Each product is thoughtfully and respectfully designed by B.
Andrew Barta himself with the player in mind.
Tech 21’s goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate, con-
trol, refine and redefine your own individual sound. We take great pride in
delivering consistent quality sound, studio to studio, club to club, arena to arena.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI and SansAmp Bass Driver Deluxe
combine the warmth of a
100% analog signal path with the convenience of
digital programmability in a super simple, player-friendly stomp box format.
Our proprietary technology captures the rich, natural harmonics and sweet
overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers, and does so even at low
volume. SansAmp delivers the same dynamics, responsiveness, and sound quali-
ty of massive pro stage rigs in a portable, programmable pedal.
The ease of operation allows you to make changes on the fly, at the gig, even
during your performance --without having to take this manual with you. There
are no complex formulas or numerical calculations to learn, so there’s nothing
to get in the way of your creative flow.
Independent footswitches put your favorite tones right at your feet, from
warm vintage to Sumo-sized overdrive. Custom actuators provide a smooth
transition between channels for instantaneous switching, so you can dance to
the music instead of your gear.
