NOTEWORTHY NOTES
1) Do not A/B (compare) SansAmp TRI-A.C. in line with a digital
product. When linked in series with a digital pre-amp/processor, the A/D to
D/A conversion will impact the unit’s sound. For an accurate comparison,
run them parallel (separately) and manually plug in and out of each.
2) SansAmp TRI-A.C. is very responsive. Our controls are unusually
sensitive and you need not set everything at max to get maximum results.
For instance, to brighten your sound, rather than automatically boosting
Treble all the way up, try cutting back on the Bass first.
3) The noise level of SansAmp TRI-A.C. is exceptionally low.
However, it may amplify noise emanating from the input source.To minimize
noise going into SansAmp TRI-A.C., we recommend active electronic instru-
ments have the volume set at unity gain/maximum and tone controls posi-
tioned flat. If you need to boost, do so slowly and sparingly.
Also check for pickup interference by moving your guitar or turning the vol-
ume off. Be aware that single coil pickups are more likely to generate noise.
4) Using a distortion pedal when SansAmp TRI-A.C. is in British
mode with the Drive control below 12 o’clock will yield a very thin tone.
This is caused by the Bright Boost capacitor on the Drive control, and inher-
ent to classic Marshall amps (as mentioned earlier).We recommend
decreasing the drive on the distortion pedal and increasing the SansAmp
TRI-A.C.’s Drive control until you achieve your desired balance.You can also
try opting for the California mode, which doesn’t engage the Bright Boost
capacitor in the Drive control.
5) Tone considerations in British mode. Due to the Bright Boost
capacitor (see above), your guitar may sound thin when Drive is below 12
o’clock. By increasing Drive, you can attenuate the amount of distortion by
lowering your guitar volume.We suggest experimenting until you find the
balance that’s right for you.
6) Character LED indicator lights. To conserve battery power, the
Character LEDs will go out after approx. 10 seconds. If you prefer to have
them on at all times, we recommend using a power supply.
7) Channel LED indicator lights. When the battery begins running low
(around 6 volts), the channel LEDs (above the footswitches) will become
noticeably dim.
8) REMEMBER THIS WARNING: DO NOT run the speaker out-
put of any amp directly into SansAmp TRI-A.C. Severe damage to
the amp and/or SansAmp TRI-A.C. may result.
