The Tech21 SansAmp 20th Anniversary Limited Edition is a commemorative version of the original SansAmp, the pioneering tube amplifier simulator and DI pedal that transformed direct recording and live performance without a guitar amplifier. The SansAmp circuit simulates the harmonic complexity of tube amplifier circuits using an all-analog design. The 20th Anniversary celebrates two decades of the SansAmp's impact on guitarists, bassists, and touring professionals worldwide.
The Tech 21 PSA is a programmable analog SansAmp preamp, the rackmount and pedal device that brought Tech 21's acclaimed analog amp emulation to a deeply tweakable, preset-based format, here in a 30th Anniversary edition. It delivers a vast range of amp and cabinet voicings entirely in the analog domain, from clean to high gain, with a DI for direct recording, a studio and touring staple.
