Tech 21's New SansAmp TRI-A.C.

Tech 21's New SansAmp TRI-A.C.


Tech 21

Posted 2001-07-29


Tech 21 has expanded its SansAmp line with the introduction of a 3-channel programmable stomp box with three independent footswitches. The SansAmp TRI-A.C. combines the warmth of a 100% analog signal path with the convenience of digital programmability.

Super simple to operate, you just dial up the setting you like, double click on a footswitch and it’s saved in that channel. Changes can easily be made on the fly --without having to refer to the owner’s manual. You can program any three sounds, ranging from sparkling clean to mega metal, and access each one instantaneously. There are three pre-voiced amp styles per channel from which to choose: Tweed, California and British. Each style has its own tonality and its own input sensitivity, and each interacts differently to the dynamics of your individual playing technique and to the signal level of the instrument.

Tech 21’s proprietary SansAmp circuitry is reknowned for capturing the rich, natural harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers. Its built-in speaker emulation encompasses all aspects of mulitply-miked tube amp rigs. Engineered for flexibility, SansAmp TRI-A.C. includes on-board, 3-band active EQ, Drive and Level controls to customize and refine your own sounds. It can be used with any amp/combo, power amp and speaker cabinet(s), with a Tech 21 Power Engine 60, or plugged directly into a mixing console.

Slightly larger than Tech 21’s other floor models, SansAmp TRI-A.C. measures 7.25”l x 5”w x 2”h in a likewise all metal housing. It is operable with a 9V alkaline battery (not included) that will provide an approx. life span of 100 hours or with an optional power supply (Tech 21 Model #DC2). MSRP: $225.00. Manufactured in the U.S.A. by Tech 21, Inc., 333 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019. Tel: 212-315-1116. Fax: 212-315-0825. E-mail: info@tech21nyc.com.
