Tech 21, the Company
Tech 21, Inc., 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 unique
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 performing live, and created an entirely new category
of signal processing. While there have since been many entries
into this niche, SansAmp continues to maintain its reputation as
the industry standard.
After developing a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 expanded
its offerings to include effect pedals; a compact, battery operable
MIDI footcontroller, the
MIDI Mouse
; as well as “traditional” style
amplifiers. Each product is thoughtfully and respectfully designed
by Andrew himself with the player in mind.
Our goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate,
control, refine and redefine your own individual sound. Tech 21
takes great pride in delivering consistent professional quality
sound, studio to studio, club to club, arena to arena.
SansAmp RBI, an Overview
Simply put, SansAmp RBI is a rackmount version of our exceptionally
popular pedal, SansAmp Bass Driver DI. This format, too, offers you
an entire sound spectrum of the most coveted traditional and modern
bass amp systems, including mega overdriven tones that usually
require a complex mass of gear --most of which weren’t designed for
bass in the first place.
Tech 21’s proprietary, 100%
analog circuitry delivers styles ranging
from Fender
®
to SVT
®
, and from King Crimson to King’s X. The inter-
active controls give you access to specific tone shaping characteris-
tics to create your own custom sounds as well.
For studio and live applications, our SansAmp Tube Amplifier
Emulation technology gives you the sound and responsiveness of a
miked-up stage rig --direct into the mixer of a recorder or P.A. system.
You can also simultaneously plug straight into a power amp, powered
monitor, or conventional bass amp.
Beyond the obvious difference in housing, SansAmp RBI’s additional
features include a dedicated MID control; an individual Level control
for the XLR out to optimize your amp’s output relative to the P.A. sys-
tem; an Effects Loop with a Mix 50/50 switch to configure the loop in
series or parallel; 1/4” rear input and XLR output with selectable lev-
els; buffered uneffected XLR output to run a dry signal to a separate
channel; Footswitch input to engage the unit; and Footswitch output
to chain and toggle between another SansAmp RBI.
With the SansAmp RBI, you get a truckload of professional bass rigs
in a single cost-effective package. As with each SansAmp model, the
controls are designed to give you the flexibility to define and refine
your individual tone. After all, the greatest inspiration comes from
having the sound that’s right for you.
