NOTEWORTHY NOTES
1) SansAmp YYZ is an interactive tool. It will react differently to
various signal levels, as well as your individual touch. For instance, a hotter
signal and a heavy hand will increase the gain structure and result in more
overdrive. Conversely, a cooler signal and a light touch decreases the gain
structure for a cleaner sound.
2) SansAmp YYZ is very responsive. Our controls are unusually
sensitive and powerful. You need not set everything at max to get maxi-
mum results. For instance, to brighten your sound, rather than automatical-
ly boosting High all the way up, try cutting back on Low first.
The tone controls also help compensate for the EQ curves found in guitar
amps. To find the best settings for interacting with your amp, start with the
tone controls at 12 o’clock and cut or boost as necessary. Be aware that
amplifiers vary greatly and some may require you to use radical EQ settings
on SansAmp YYZ to achieve your desired sound. You need not be discour-
aged or suspect something is wrong with the unit. If you’ve got your sound,
you’ve simply found the right balance to complement your particular amp.
3) The noise level of SansAmp YYZ is exceptionally low.
However, it may amplify noise emanating from the input source. To mini-
mize noise going into the SansAmp YYZ, we recommend active electronic
instruments have the volume set at maximum and tone controls positioned
flat. If you need to boost, do so slowly and sparingly.
•Also check for pickup interference by moving your guitar or turning the
volume off. Be aware single coil pickups are more likely to generate noise.
•As is the case with any tube amplifier or electronic device, particularly in
high gain settings, you may be getting outside interference caused by lights,
transformers, etc.
•Be conscious of how the controls interact. Remember, they are atypically
sensitive, so start out “normal” and then go as nuts as you like.
4) LED indicator light. When the battery begins running low, the LED
will become noticeably dim.
