The Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI (V2) is a preamp/DI pedal built around Tech 21's SansAmp analog tube amp emulation circuitry, letting bassists achieve a range of tube-amp-like tones and drive directly into a mixing console or interface, without a physical bass amp or cabinet. It includes Tech 21's characteristic Blend, Level, and Drive controls alongside a 3-band EQ, giving bassists studio-quality DI tone shaping for recording and live front-of-house feeds.
The Tech 21 GED-2112 is a signature bass preamp and DI from Tech 21 (New York, USA), co-developed with Geddy Lee of Rush to recreate the two-channel bass preamp setup he used on Rush classic recordings, combining SansAmp analog amp simulation with Geddy Lee tuned EQ and two footswitchable channels. The GED-2112 delivers the classic Geddy Lee bass tone in a compact live-ready format.
