Turning 20 is a powerful testament to the unusual longevity of the SansAmp PSA. To commemorate the anniversary, Tech 21 is issuing a limited quantity with a copper anodized faceplate. In a time of
every-other-month upgrades, the SansAmp PSA has been modified only once in 20 years, and primarily
to add hardware features. Combining a warm, all-analog signal path with digital recall, it offers 49
factory presets of the most recognized vintage and modern tube amp sounds for guitar and bass, and
77 user-definable locations. |

| Via
MIDI, you can load and off-load presets, map program locations,
and select MIDI channels (including Omni Mode). Remote program
changes can also be made via MIDI (including Tech 21’s
own equally player-friendly MIDI Mouse or MIDI Moose footcontrollers). Other
features include dual 1/4” and XLR outputs for stereo
processing, either of which can be set at line or instrument
level, and used simultaneously. The non-glare, 3-digit LED display
is readable from any angle, in daylight or darkness. |

Considered
a staple in professional recording studios, the SansAmp PSA has
been used on major releases and worldwide tours for multiple applications
and instruments, including horns, vocals and drums. Players, engineers
and producers alike find the SansAmp PSA very simple to operate.
To program, you just tweak the knobs and save. Parameters are adjusted
in real time with traditional analog potentiometers. The digital
memory stores the positions of the pots. With 256 incremental steps,
each rotary control increases and decreases in a smooth linear fashion.
The
exceptionally versatile SansAmp PSA-1.1 offers 49 factory presets
of the most recognized vintage and modern tube amp sounds for guitar
and bass, and 77 user-definable locations. A Universal Output Section
enables the signal to be compatible with full range systems as well
as guitar/bass speaker cabinets. With the SansAmp PSA-1.1, you can
record direct to tape, as well as warm up existing tracks in mixdowns.
For live applications, it can be used as a pre-amp, “monster
direct box” to P.A. system, and as an outboard processor. |
