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
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 cate-
gory of signal processing. While there have since been many entries into this niche,
SansAmp continues to maintain its reputation as the industry standard.
With a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 also offers effect pedals and MIDI prod-
ucts, as well as “traditional” style amplifiers for guitar and bass. 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 Character Series
VT Bass Rack, an Overview
Simply put, the VT Bass Rack is a rackmount version of our exceptionally popular
pedal, the VT Bass from our SansAmp Character Series. This format, too, offers a his-
torical journey through the most coveted Ampeg®-style bass amp rigs.
For studio and live applications, Tech 21’s proprietary, 100% analog circuitry
delivers the warmth 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. The interactive controls give you
access to specific tone shaping characteristics to create your own custom sounds as
well.
Beyond the obvious difference in housing, the VT Bass Rack’s additional features
include an individual Level control for the XLR out to optimize your amp’s output rela-
tive to the P.A. system; 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 levels; buffered unef-
fected XLR output to run a dry signal to a separate channel; Footswitch input to engage
the unit; and Footswitch output.
