This floor version of our RPM rackmount provides the same detailed tone shaping possibilities for any signal source. It is particularly useful with acoustic, electric and bass guitars, and upright bass,  either direct to a mixing console or with an instrument amplifier. The Para Driver DI gives your instrument a natural warmth and presence, as if miking it through a tube pre-amp. The SansAmp circuitry eliminates the harsh, unnatural harmonics of piezo pickups, while the Drive control offers some tasteful edge — just a little or over-the-top.

Version 2 has exactly the same tonality and functionality with the addition of two new features: Rumble Filter and Air. The Rumble Filter removes unwanted sub-sonic frequencies that cause boominess and audible handling noises associated with acoustic guitars.The Air button adds top-end clarity and sparkle to acoustics.

Features

  • Active tone controls with 12dB of cut or boost
  • Sweepable semi-parametric EQ
  • 1/4-inch 4.7 megOhm instrument level input
  • 1/4-inch and XLR outputs with selectable levels
  • Parallel, uneffected output to run a dry signal to a separate channel

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.

Preamp & DI Pedals

A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Tags

Acoustic

Voiced for the wider dynamics, strong transient detail and pickup characteristics of acoustic instruments. High input impedance, phase reversal, notch filtering and restrained processing help preserve body resonance while controlling piezo harshness and feedback. Balanced outputs may also carry the corrected signal directly to a mixer or interface.

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.
