Wanting to streamline and simplify his gear for new projects, Geddy Lee partnered with Tech 21 to design a signature rackmount SansAmp, the GED-2112. This challenging collaboration involved distilling a boatload of equipment into a single rackspace. Challenging ourselves, to bring a super-compact, portable alternative, we further distilled the rackmount into a pedal format. The SansAmp YYZ offers Geddy’s core sound and the versatility for many different styles.

Features

  • All analog SansAmp technology enables you to record directly and enhance previously recorded tracks. For live performances, the YYZ can drive a power amp and speakers, augment your existing amplifier set-up, or run directly into the mixer of a PA system.
  • Mix control to blend the ratio of high-end studio clean and dirty bass tube amp tones. 
  • Tight button to add definition to your notes in cleaner settings and make distorted tones snappier.
  • Drive adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section of a tube amp is being pushed.
  • Active 3-band EQ.
  • Master volume.
  • Operable with 9V alkaline battery (not included) or optional DC power supply (Tech 21 model #DC2, #DC4 or #DC9)

Tech 21

Tech 21 began in Manhattan in 1989 when designer Andrew Barta introduced SansAmp, an all-analogue amplifier and speaker-emulation circuit for direct recording. SansAmp remains central to the company’s guitar and bass range, appearing in standalone preamps, DI pedals, rack units and Fly Rig products. JustPedals listings include the GT2, Programmable Bass Driver DI, Para Driver DI and Character Series VT Bass DI, as well as the MIDI Mouse. These products shape or send a direct instrument signal, rather than providing only conventional modulation or ambience; compare instrument voicing and output connections.

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
