Description
Geddy Lee has been performing without onstage amps and speakers since the Test for Echo Tour in1996, favoring major household appliances instead. Wanting to streamline his gear for new projects,Geddy initially partnered with Tech 21 to design a Signature SansAmp, the GED-2112. This challengingcollaboration involved distilling a rackload of equipment into a single rackspace. According to Geddy,The GED-2112 is really a continuation of my long-time approach to bass tone. A deep clean tone coupledwith the edgy crunch I get from the SansAmp RPM now all in one box.
The GED-2112 rackmount introduced a new framework for Parallel Pre-Amping having two separateinternal pre-amps. Following this concept, the compact SansAmp YYZ pedal adapted the architecturalstructure to simplify blending the two signal paths. Merging the design of the rackmount and the portabilityof the pedal, the SansAmp DI-2112 offers yet another new format that is designed to be equally athome on a studio desk-top as well as an amp-top.
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 thick, meaty tones. Saturation goes from clean in lower settingsto increased harmonics and tube-like compression in higher settings. You can use either sectionindependently by only connecting to the Drive/Mix outor blend them externally by using both outputs direct to a mixing board as well as to two amplifiers.
Each Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp offers Geddys core sound and the versatility for many differentstyles.
