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 made his 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 category of signal processing.

APPLICATIONS WITH A BASS AMP RIG: -As a Stomp Box: Run the 1/4” Output into the front input of an amp or incorporate into your pedalboard chain. For best results, keep the SansAmp YYZ’s Level close to unity gain so as not to overload the amp’s input, which could yield undesirable distortion. NOTE: Unity gain is when you have the same volume coming from the amp whether the pedal is on or off --which is not necessarily at 12 o’clock.

GUIDE TO CONTROLS The GED-2112 Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp rackmount introduced a new format for Parallel Pre-Amping --having two separate internal pre-amps that run in parallel. Following this concept, the SansAmp YYZ pedal adapts the architectural structure to simplify blending the two signal paths via its own Mix control. DRIVE DRIVE SECTION Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section of a tube amp is being pushed.

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 maximum results.
