Pr-amp transistor 100% analogue

Connections: complte
- 2 inputs (front and rear) with slecteur level (0dB,-10dB)
- An effects loop (mono send, return Stereo) with slecteur mix (50%, 100%)
- 1 output jack Stereo 1 / 4 "with slecteur level (0dB,-10dB)
- 1 x XLR Stereo (never used) with slecteur level (0dB,-10dB)
- Ports MIDI (In, Out / Thru).
- Possibility of Midi mapping (basically call her on 32 pdalier can match any of pRSET pramp)
- Slecteur patch DOWN and UP
- Backup Button (prvu to click with a mediator). This button accder to special functions (mapping, dsengagement of potentiomtres, reversing mill sites / users, etc.).

Trs not simple (as a bit rough at the display) but the manual is very well done.

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple, the programming ease.
Again: Refer to the manual.

The factory presets are well done trs (mention spcial sounds Boogie & Marshall), and are the basis for user presets.

The name and function of potentiomtres can Drout, but once understood philosophy (thanks to the manual, dcidment ...) it's pretty simple.

SOUNDS

Ideal for live, but also for saving models (used in recording all that evidence).

It is also powerful in big crunch that trs saturations (Try the riff Sludge Factory (Alice in Chains) in Dropped D on preset 24, you tell me the news !!!), and allows ventail sound variation on a pretty amazing (the old to Boogie JCM). The clean sounds are a little behind, but with a good amplification lamps high volume, the ct attnue a little "bridquot;.

Try the riff Sludge Factory (Alice in Chains) in Dropped D on preset 24, you m'endirez news!

I personally use a Mesa Boogie Fifty / fifty and Quardaverb GT for effects, and all registers around (Hard Rock, Blues, Funk, Pop), the prampli proves extremely efficient. I jou before on JMP1 well, but much less versatile.
My Mesa Boogie Studio sounded much better in clean, but had neither the flexibility nor the versatility of the Sansamp.

Unlike what I read sometimes it fully respects the grain of the guitar (my strat diffrent, my Les Paul Jr. or my Sheraton), and very well gre volume knob at the crunch.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years now ... and I see no reason to change!
The Sansamp is the most versatile prampli I used good, just the derrire Triaxis, which is typical even a notch above.

The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable.

If you have a choice, turn plutt to version 1.1: an on / off switch, headphone jack and more. I have not changed because mine is a limit SERIES ... Pink!
