MGR/Anonymous « Tech 21 SansAmp Tri-OD »
Published on 06/26/01 at 15:00This is a Sans Amp unit with 3 switchable modes, USA (Fender), California (Mesa Boogie) and British (Marshall). Useful for working direct into a PA system or recording console. Bought the unit locally at a music store for $200 US out the door. I was playing with a band where everyone was plugged directly into a PA and I needed something to do multiple channels and easy to carry.
The switching aspect of the unit is what sold me. It's like having three amps in one small box about the size of your average stomp box. The sounds are very realistic, particularly the Fender clean sound. It acts just like a real amp, dropping off gain as you roll down the volume on your guitar. Built like a rock, solidly constructed, and easy to use.
The battery is a pain to change due to having to remove four screws on the bottom of the unit. I picked up a power supply for it and my other effects which took care of that problem.
As I said earlier, it is a solid metal unit which will take any abuse that you can send to the unit. Great sounds. I got lots of positive comments on my sound using this unit.
This is an excellent unit. A must have if you are going direct into a PA or recording console.
