SansAmp XLR Direct Output
Carries the signal from the SansAmp RBI, including any effects that are placed in the
Effects Loop. For recording, the SansAmp XLR Output is like having a built-in direct
box. Designed without a transformer, it provides a balanced, low-impedance output
of extremely high quality for recording or interfacing with professional-quality signal
processors. You can go direct to the board and get the same sound you hear coming
out of the speakers right onto tape or disc. The SansAmp circuitry not only captures
the warm, rich, natural harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to
tube amplifiers, its speaker emulation encompasses all aspects of multiply-miked
tube amp rigs.
For live gigs, you can use this output direct into the P.A. system and you won’t need
a microphone in front of your amp. And you won’t have to subject the audience to a
sterile, muddy, or boomy bass tone.
XLR Output Level Switch
Sets the range of the signal level of the SansAmp XLR Output jack. When the switch
is in 0dB position (engaged), the Output is in the line level range. When the switch is
in its -20dB position (disengaged), the Output is in the instrument level range.
Note: The standard output level range of the SansAmp RBI is 0dB due to the wide
availability of digital recorders, which are unforgiving to excessive input levels. This
prevents overloading the input of a digital recorder.
Uneffected XLR Output
Provides a buffered balanced output of the direct bass signal without processing.
FOOTSWITCH
The Footswitch can be used to activate the unit. Simpy connect the output of a
footswitch to the Footswitch In.
To toggle between this unit and another SansAmp RBI, do the same as above and
connect the SansAmp RBI Footswitch Out to the Footswitch In of the second
SansAmp RBI. Now you can switch between 2 sounds. For the audio signal path,
connect your bass into the Input of the first SansAmp RBI. Connect the 1/4”
SansAmp Out to the Input of the second unit. The 1/4” and XLR Outputs of the
second SansAmp RBI are then your main audio outs. (Refer to Hook-up Diagrams
on Page 13.)
Any alternating (on/off) footswitch can be used. Optional factory footswitch with LED
status indicator is available through your authorized dealer or directly from Tech 21.

FOOTSWITCH (Model

FSWA)
Footswitch has LED status indicator, and is powered via the cable, so
no batteries are required. And, unlike most amps which require a cus-
tom multi-pin connector, this Footswitch is engineered to utilize
any
standard 1/4” instrument or speaker cable. You can easily replace the
cable should you lose it, or purchase different cable lengths to suit
your particular needs.
The Footswitch measures 2.25” x 4.25” x 1.25” and is available through your local
authorized dealer or directly through Tech 21.
