Tech 21 Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp
Dual Parallel Bass Preamps for Unlimited Sonic Potential
Geddy Lee has been using SansAmp in his live bass rig since 2001, and now he’s teamed up with Tech 21 to create the Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp. Two internal preamps allow you to dial in two distinct tones. Its Drive preamp section (based on the SansAmp RPM) covers a wide sonic range, while the Deep preamp section delivers boosted low end for fat, round tone, with saturation that ranges from clean to tube-like grit and compression. And with an EQ curve based on Geddy’s exact specifications, there’s a world of tone to explore with the Tech 21 Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp.
Parallel preamping for expanded sonic potential
The Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp is equipped with two all-analog SansAmp circuits running in parallel. Whether you’re after gritty midrange-rich tones or fat, thumping dub sounds, you’ll find them here. And for maximum flexibility, each preamp section has its own individual output, allowing you to combine them in the mixer or your DAW for powerful layered bass tones.
Flexible routing options
Made for touring professionals, the Tech 21 Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp gives you the options you need to configure your bass rig however you’d like. Each of the aforementioned SansAmp outputs are available on both XLR and 1/4″ output. A built-in effects loop makes it easy to integrate pedals or rack effects. There’s also an uneffected output for running your signal to a bass amplifier for monitoring, and a dedicated tuner output as well. If it’s designed for a pro like Geddy Lee, Sweetwater is sure it’s a capable tool for any discerning bassist.
Dual inputs for gigging convenience
Dual inputs make it easier to use multiple basses during a gig. There’s a convenient front-panel input, plus an input section on the rear panel with a switchable -20dB attenuator for high-output basses. A front-panel input selector switch allows you to change input sources instantly.
