Just as the original SansAmp was a personal mission to encapsulate tube amplifier sounds in a compact, portable pedal, inventor Andrew Barta has long been on a quest to do the same in the digital domain. Never one to jump on a bandwagon, Barta wouldn’t “go digital” until he found a way to replicate the dynamics, responsiveness and fluidity of its analog counterpart.

The SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver ELITE has two modes: 
• Performance mode to have your 3 main presets at the ready.
• Studio mode for up to 128 locations for custom presets.

There’s an additional “Red Zone” that changes the functionality of the controls to include Preamp, Filter, Frequency, Q, Ambiance, Ratio and Chorus. It can also activate pre-programmed Chorus and/or Filter effects.

The MIDI interface enables deep editing of parameters for amplifiers, blendable IRs, effects and EQ. The IR section includes a SansAmp IR, a curated collection of modifiable IRs, the ability to custom blend them, as well as upload your favorite external IRs. Clear, uncomplicated graphics, and intuitive controls provide ease of use to achieve your desired tones.

As is the case with all Tech 21 products, the controls are designed to give you maximum flexibility to obtain your desired sound. It is our hope that the SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI ELITE will be a useful addition to your arsenal for stimulating your creativity and, ultimately, playing your best.
