1. TECH 2 DESIGNED amp MANUFACTURED IN THE USA 2015 HOW IT ALL STARTED In 1989 Andrew Barta launched Tech 21 in midtown Manhattan and introduced his unique invention to the world the SansAmp It originally began 10 years earlier as something he simply wanted for his own personal use As a performing musician with an electronics background and whose day job was repairing modifying and customizing amplifiers Andrew had the expertise and the determination to make his vision a reality Ironically Andrew never intended to become a manufacturer He wanted to sell his technology to a major company and continue his quest as a musician But none of them understood the potential and how much impact the SansAmp would eventually have Unable to abandon his idea Andrew set out on his own Although this kind of product had never before existed it took a surprisingly short amount of time to gain acceptance from players All they had to do was hear it Tech 21 pioneered the direct recording movement and created an entirely new category of signal processing The revolutionary SansAmp tube amplifier emulator was the first device to enable musicians to dial in monster tones and patch them directly to a studio mixer or stage PA Finally it was possible to get stunning consistent tones without futzing for hours and hours to find that elusive sweet spot Instead the 100 analog SansAmp delivered all of its mammoth sounds f2. i Gives you a saturated pre amp tube sound product that is unique on its own with old school ana with warm distortion in higher settings log vintage sound Character switch Proprietary formula filter that warms up the bass giving more TECH 21 PRIVATE STOCK DIVISION For bass in particular most of the tone tradition bottom and more top end Disengaged ally comes from the pre amp stage of a bass amp you get a more neutral Jaco style sound ART Barta Eo Tech 21 with a proai y onon a deson e for BUY Therefore you have a lightweight tube driven pre amp Bright switch GW Being a constant tinkerer there are times he is inspired to build creations for and the flexibility to choose the power amp and of treble for a tighter brighter GOs British his own enjoyment that are outside the realm of being mass produced and wattage that best suits your needs sound with more prounounced top end commercially viable With the encouragement from a select few who have l 1megOhm Input For active basses you witnessed some of these products Andrew has decided to open the door to can compensate the sensitivity by his Private Stock f AW a decreasing the Drive setting to eliminate any unwanted distortion A The Private Stock Formula 21 Vacuum 5 Tube Bass Pre Amp is custom designed hydr iau by Andrew Barta handbuilt tested and XLR Output Switchable line instrument Pie er rr tweaked at our factory in the
