Tech 21 GED-2112

Wanting to streamline and simplify his gear for new projects, Geddy partnered with Tech 21 to design a signature SansAmp, the GED-2112. This challenging collaboration involved distilling a rackload of equipment into a single rackspace. It resulted in a new format for Parallel Pre-Amping -- having two separate internal pre-amps that run in parallel. The Drive pre-amp section is based upon the versatile SansAmp RPM, for a wide range of sonic possibilities. The Deep pre-amp section offers low end boost for thick, meaty tones. Saturation goes from clean in lower settings to increased harmonics and tube-like compression in higher settings. To keep things lean and efficient, the EQ curve is pre-set to Geddy's personal specs. You can use either section independently or blend them externally direct to a mixing board as well as to two amplifiers. Features: Dual, all-analog SansAmp circuits, Drive control for gain and overdrive, Blend to adjust the ratio of SansAmp tube amp emulation and your direct signal, Sweepable semi-parametric EQ, 170 Hz to 3.0 kHz, cut/boost 12dB, Saturation for low-end beef and separate Level control, Deep pre-amp has dedicated ¼-inch and XLR direct outputs, Effect Loop with Mix 50/50 switch, Tuner output, Uneffected ¼-inch output, Front panel A/B switching to have 2 basses ready to go; dual rear inputs with -20dB input pads.
