USE

Super simple to use despite the many possibilities

SOUND QUALITY

I do not know if the effects are effective, I will return in all directions, amp effects loop, facade, sound, and nothing to do, the sound cleanly ... foul!
dgueux compression, screaming death unusable stamps, in short, that's bad! certain positions, brit stamp the kind of unexpected way signal, and frankly, not very happy, even if the knobs are effective , how to fix sound as ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

I borrowed a friend because the product seemed really interesting, and what surprises, fortunately I have tried! in my configs, I quickly dbranche to reassure me, and see that my gear was working properly.
the ultra. yet all presents well, I thought spend hours carving a sound, well I have not had the opportunity .I was ready this friend a distortion dod (about 35 euros occas ') which seem terrible to me, and although I have hte it makes me!
Overall opinion: a horror.

The classic of the first pedal Electric guitar amp simulator, go anywhere, cheap and very good value for money, to use as the "Swiss army knife" of guitarist ... simple and effective!
Do not expect either to transform a sound or a transistor amp rotten in beautiful Mesa Boogie Mark IV, in old Marshall plexi or Twin Reverb '60 but frankly adpanne matter if you have a minimum ear to you good sound.
On a sound system for a jam or a lil gig in a bar, on a transistor amp a bit basic (see crappy) story of a little coloring matter or make a clear his drinking (and then connect over your pedalboard, add your personal effects pedals, pedal saturates your favorite etc ...), or an amp acoustic guitar kind AER (in my case and it works pretty well!) for your electric guitar or a little warm in clean or crunch / distortion, to saturate an acoustic guitar ... etc.

UTILIZATION

Making his personal configuration based on diffusion (amp or PA) and his guitar
Super simple to use, just messing around with the settings and make his personal sauce ...
On a PA or amp transistor base, against live in a sound card is not very terrible recess must not ask too much either, but do not want witnesses guitars so turn the tube amp and freak the neighbors 2am it does the job!

SOUND QUALITY

Good momentum of the attack, the sustain and not too much compression distorts the game, relative heat amp sounds cheap.
Realistic enough price and good sound control with knobs that match pretty well.
Respects the sound of the guitar and playing the guitar

OVERALL OPINION

Very good value for money service rendered.
For this budget was the best thing since!
You saved the life of electric guitar amp if bar or rehearsal studio is a real shit or if the guy who was to lend you his amp and you planted that you left the PA to ensure your gig!

Several types distos overdrive and all analog

UTILIZATION

Four knobs, Level, low, high, drive and 3 switches that allow 3 different positions each is simple, clear, concise.

SOUND QUALITY

I play an Ibanez Jem7 and amplifiers Tech 21 poweramp60, it's simple, it sounds almost like the lamp, only an expert could tell the difference and again, over the sounds of transistor ... is hot, it's powerful, it's analog what ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have tried many models before: Boss MT-2, Ibanez Jemini, different distortion and overdrive with Zoom (the best I've had before), but this is far ahead of everything else, even the eyes closed it sounds like the lamp, this pedal is simply the best I could possèder, plus it's versatile: you can simulate the Fender, Marshall, Mesa Boogie's, and what grain, what heat, what power , metal, rock, hard rock, blues, she swallows all!
Why deprive yourself of such a jewelry when you do not have a tube amp so cumbersome and expensive?

A must have ...

3 microphone positions / 3 types of saturation / 3 amp types

4 pots: volume / high eq / eq / low gain

Garlic sector or 9v battery

UTILIZATION

intuitive! Manual not helpful

SOUND QUALITY

no effect but an extensive palette of sounds and sounds credible are glad to hear that and make you want to play!
For me, perfect for distortion sounds or crunch! Not done too much for the clean.

OVERALL OPINION

After having tried other solution SansAmp really amazed me, I love the sounds! Connected directly to my stereo lounge (with HP Alesis MkII), the foot!

I recommend it 200% -> simple, intuitive, great sound!

Everything has been said, it's a preamp / DI analogically simulating configurations of tube amps

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple, input, output and DC9V (type boss) for the PSU.
The manual is useless for the most part except the basic adjustments that give some very convincing sound without the fuss, these are pure tracks find a good sound right away and they work!
he would certainly have to switch a two sounds accessible to foot!

SOUND QUALITY

I said the ultimate configuration: I had rather enough of me lugging a tube amp weighs a dead donkey, effects etc. Here, I have associated with my Roland JC55 ... and here is a good amp and relatively neutral faithful takes on a tube amp, of twin or bassman ... clear sound even more beautiful with a warmth and a resurgence of bass that are less common because of the HP 8 inches!
Saturations are extraordinary and convincing! Dynamics extraordinary!
What happiness!
I use it with a 50 strat mex and it works even in electro!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month (well I got mine for a month if I had the bad habit of borrowing from a friend for some years. Associated with a transistor amp very true this is amazing!
I tried many configurations such digital GT8, 10 and 100 recently, I tried the vox, the zoom, nothing much convinced me that this little box.

it took me 6 months of bidding on ebay to get the sans amp gt2 but it was well worth it!! I paid $95 USED!!! on ebay

what do I like about the sans amp gt2 ??EVERYTHING!!!!! it sounds just as good as "most" not all but most of the new modeling amps and at a fraction of the price!! you can take this little beast straight to a sound card or...... if you DARE put it in between your favorite old tube amp and a guitar and HANG ON!!! cause it takes any simple tube amp and turns it into a MONSTER!!!!!

no delay

built like a tank

its an AWSOME tool for ANY studio or live rig

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

The unit was purchased through Musician's Friend for around $200 a year or so ago.

Very solid and well built. Simple controls, but a variety of choices and the sweetest tube tone I've heard out of a preamp box yet - and that includes that POD!

There's really not much to dislike except for the fact that you have to actually touch the unit to change amps or cabinet settings. There's only one foot switch. It's great for recording, though.

Built like a little tank. Everything from the knobs and the housing to the footswitch and input jacks.

If you're into direct recording or playing through a PA system, I don't think you can go wrong. Although the unit doesn't include any effects it does what it's meant to do very, very well. You can always chain effects before or after the preamp.

Analog guitar pedal prampli.
4 pots + 3 switches with 3 positions choice of the profile amp (Fender / Marshall / Mesa)

UTILIZATION

Super simple to use. It lacks the possibility of how easy it is but mmoriser rgler, offset a little. Manuel correct

SOUND QUALITY

I board sold the mine for a Pod 2. So in comparison, the pais is more than the Pod 2 and I find it more ractif to change in the guitar playing.
It sounds more limited in range but gives ample plain as drive.
My complaint: It blows a lot.

OVERALL OPINION

In résumé: Beautiful and well pais trsractif the game wide palette that can adapt any style. It should be a good noise gate absolumment derrire.
This is not the lamp but approaching my taste more than many accumulators numriques fashion.

Based on analog technology, while the sound can be adjusted easily without the need for manual.
Jack an entry / exit Jack.Une A jack is for connecting a power supply (no need because I do not even know when I installed my 9V, but the LED is still red when I turn on the GT2)
The metal case is very solid (it's been years since I use it and not move it !!!!)

UTILIZATION

Four knobs: Level, High, Low and Drive.
Three miniswitchs can adjust the type of microphone (Off axis, center, classic), fashion (clean, Hi Gain, Hot wired) and amp (Tweed, British and California). An input jack / A output jack. The manual is superfluous .... as the settings are simple and logical ...

SOUND QUALITY

This case is just amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live, I use it only for saturation (the clear sound is obtained by the preamp combo of my ....) And here let me say it sounds any lamp is hot, straight and accurate . The sound of my Start is fully respected in all its nuances and according to the power of the attacks of my right hand ....
The sonic possibilities are endless and REAL (I do not use the word realistic as it is above this notion)
In Studio, with me, alone with my guitar. (My amp and multi-effects remain home !!!!!)
I have all the GT2 sounds pros on hand .... live in the console and once again, close your eyes and listen .... AMAZING !!!!! lamps inhering and breathless (yes Culbuto, your breath is certainly in your guitar or microphone in your wiring )!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

I buy the GT2 to its release and since I can not do without .... This replaces the receiver and other MESA SOLDANO I would not have to buy (for my Top banker !!!!! !) for a price insignificant given the price of branded products mentioned.
The GT2 is the secret of making beautiful sound in all circumstances ..... Close your eyes and listen ..... listen especially before buying toys and Co. POD ... Try the analog ... . and save your money .. It's timeless sound, And The Rest is history ...

Prampli form of pedals simulating various sounds amp lights.
Hardware reliability and an indestructible any evidence.
Advantage over the Sansamp Classic: 9v power supply (the Classic rclame a PSU SPECIFICATIONS, a mini jack ..)

UTILIZATION

Trs simple, over there or the leaflet or on the website of Tech 21 examples to help you
find the type of the DSIR.
Its use was originally intended more to the studio and home studio, but tight deadlines to use it on scne to add heat or sound supplmenatire his amp.

SOUND QUALITY

So it's not the reason that TECH 21 is the inventor of the prcurseur formulation, simulation or modlisation (call it what you want) of amp tones.
It is unbeatable in quality, sound is a finesse and a raliste incredible.
I possd a Pod 2, really nice but well below the SANSAMP.
POD 2 possde effects like chorus, delay reverbs (though incidentally means) so it is closer to a multi-effects amp simulator (despite its many prslections).
Let's seriousness, if you want to record a sound approximating the sound of an amp lamps, there is the SansAmp (I think the GT2 is as good as the Classic even if poss under rglages).
You plug your guitar in the GT2, the latter in your console, add a supper of reverb (and delay ..) and is the top. The GT2 excels in Fender and Mesa sounds ..

OVERALL OPINION

Matos really pro (used by professionals).
Cheap: around 130 150 euros during
At ease in all situations.
Gnial in the studio, but try to plug in a console to play a sound: amazing! (And much less fragile than a heavy amp lamps)
Only regret: not programmable but his vocation is the Premire studio. It is better in this case purchased the rack PSA program (I'm not sr name)

Amp Simulators Mesa, Fender, Marshall (analog)

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, a switch on / off, a lead on / off, 4 knobs Level-hight-low-Drive
1 Amp selector (3 position)
Mod a selector (3 position)
1 MIC (microphone position 3)
ACCS easy, fairly intuitive

SOUND QUALITY

Very effective and realistic effects.
Output high, predict the same breath with a quality guitar (fender micro Snc) and the quality amps correct.
Use clean tweed especially in position, and its clean and rich in harmonic crystal-clear and sharp enough
Saturation effective pannel type of saturation rather broad, made of good quality suprieure to classic overdrive.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 3 months. Very satisfied with the rendering and the expression of the pedal.
Used alone, it radically revolutionized the sound and expression of a guitar
Couple with other uses because NS is a prvoir end of string, but it boosts all requires a lot of settings.
Excellent quality of material. A final choice especially for a OCCAZ (around 150eu).

One of the pedals Premire amp simulation.
4 potentiomtres: level, high, low, drive
3 switches: Mic and Amp Mod
PSU on 9v battery or transformer

UTILIZATION

Very easy to take in hand we choose the type of desire amp (amp switch), the type of gain level (switch mod) and position the microphone on the HP (switch mic) then there is more that has a rgler its discretion sounds using the 4 pots like on an amp.
The three-switch system is much more intuitive and planks on which version prcdante propasait a system of five or six tiny switch (a stack of clip to change its rigor).
like all the pedals should spend some time on it to find its ultimate donns the examples in the manual so it can rev well made as a basis

SOUND QUALITY

Warning sounds big and well in bleuffant rglages pluttmtal type or boogie marshall plexi, (but rather noisy all the same, the breath can s'avrer Gnant even with a power supply ' stabilized)
hot shade for sounds kind Bluesbreaker,
snapping well for sounds funky.
well according to the sound of the guitar he uses can really use his instrument to its maximum possibilities.
Same branch of a Marshall MS-2 was a monstrous sound

OVERALL OPINION

In 1996, a search of "his", I had the chance to hear this little wonder in the hands of JM Ecay which drew roots-blues sounds fabulous branch in a small transistor 15w hughes & Kettner and the same day Perroine D branch in the same amp we ballance monstrueu a solo tapping his fingers with a 8 to a correction compensates for the first course.
I instantly bought the bte and still used today.

Dj you know everything.
I put -1 as no presets, but in my case, I do not care, I only use it for home studio recordings.

UTILIZATION

Use extra, very easy, intuitive trs.
10

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with fenders and gibsons DIFFERENT MODELS of the ism is not bad, but it was mainly another quality which makes it an indispensable tool for my Creations guitaristic.
I talk about APRS.
I have a small mesa preferences for the simulation, although the emissions distortion, no sugar.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, buy a misra next to what she reported.

Its small size makes it a toy amne wherever you want to do without the scratches pter balls, and calm everyone in 2 seconds.

I ToneLab SE which I used also for the enr and scne, but the quality of the simulation Premire is very easy to go in the mix, I mean, just with the 'qual, if a not pass, you move a bit, and you find your place without getting to the head for hours.

The job is simplified and downstream as long as you pass in, for example a slice JOEMEEK you dchires ... (this sentence is valid replaceable downstream anal ...)

The RAPORT q / p, even nine is excellent, but most do not buy it, keep your head to take the tile ...

For breath, the small button above the cut is fact, not becaufe I tell the guys would say, when they recorded, they mutate not their gear when they play it ... (I like it leave empty tracks in the recording pramp bottom to say that my stuff is zero ...)
Finally what, if you hear the breath by changing the saturation mesa, I will donate one ear, may be used.

TRS is a good product, I could do without, even if only to make sound tests over the diffrent composed ....
Recording, it belongs to the same as my stilted or recorder.

Personally, not worth a 10, a is 15!
Edit: I have ears ... I also prod ...

I think that says it all

UTILIZATION

Using fairly simple and intuitive, to say anything

SOUND QUALITY

His level ... the fact is frankly that there is anything better in the ...
Test in Cubase SX3, there is frankly nothing has shot his cold and cardboard, the simulation lacks hp, there may be potato but it's not going to enrich the sound provided ... résumé in those who have ears will not say the opposite is the sound just sucks

OVERALL OPINION

This device is a scam vritable I strongly deprecated for those who do direct recording, for those who use it on an amp that's another story at the same time it is not too much to ...
So when I hear the poop is a cot pod2 arrter need to say anything, I have a pod2 and I can assure you that that rsultats j'obtient for a short time the trs sounds terrible natural pod2 a month to operate a grain even if the eq is very effective, just a little tweak in cubase and do not have ears in boxes.

All are said

UTILIZATION

Such

SOUND QUALITY

I will not please the haters from below but frankly I agree with the negative opinion, the level you really have to work and rework it, dig it in every way to get something of a let crdible remains cold, trs grain synthetic sounds in the end, even if every time the sound is big and bright enough not enough to say that the sound is exellent.

OVERALL OPINION

In the end I sold this machine that serves me with anything because POD2 and a J-Station, the GT2 is the total picks.
Regarding the link of the gentleman from below, do not pay too much attention because the DMOS is frankly misleading and over the sound of the DMOS trs synthetic sounds anyway.
I am neither DSOL ingson or pseudo ing sound, there is no need to be a pro to understand that this product is not worth the time, at least for those who are picky about crdibilit the sound and the ism, the pedals is frankly not the best amp simulator on the market that are far from, j'espre not upset you too much the gentleman below.
For me the J-Station is the best amp simulator.
Now it's my opinion should not take it badly eh Mr. unhappy underneath? and it's not useful I think to attack people, they're just there to give our opinion, it was not all the same the same Audible felt the same feeling (though it must have a), APRS is the ears, it has or not.
