Tech 21 YYZ Sansamp Pedal Demo - Rush Tone Match & Settings 

Thanks for all the love on this video everyone! I am thinking of doing second video like this, what other Rush songs would you like to hear tone-matched with the YYZ Pedal? If you enjoyed this, please consider subscribing so you will know when the 2nd part drops!

Don't see anyone nailing Geddy's right-hand technique like that too often. Nicely done.

This along with the correct right hand technique really nails the tone. Excellent job and thanks for the demo.

The chords during Animate- YEE HAW!

Best rush playing i have ever seen on YT! Awesome technique

That Red Barchetta was sick.

Love this - no nonsense, just great playing and great tones. You’re a great player man. Never stop.

Your right hand technique is very good. You have Ged's sound on point. I applaud your dedication to what he played and dialing in the tone. Too often you come across "Geddy Lee" warriors on RU-vid with this awfully bright, much too overdriven tone.

WOW! Your playing and tone are spot on! I'm very impressed that this pedal has distilled Geddy's tone all in one little box...take my money!

I dont comment much, but I have to say your playing, and your choice of songs is AMAZING. I cant commend you enough for showcasing such great songs with incredible tone and accuracy. Well done overall my friend.

Amazing way to play the bass guitar 😮. Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina

2 things....you're an excellent bass player, and....this pedal sounds fantastic. I love this bass tone.

Sold me! Achieves Geddy’s tone regardless of which Rush song one is playing. Take my money.

Nice man!!! The 4 people who downvoted this are simply people who wish they could do this! You just sold this pedal to me. Now if I can just get the chops..LOL. but that one is on me. Peace, brother!!

I think you've had the best tone with this pedal out of all, the demos I've seen, you left a nice amount of low end in there and that made the difference.

not particularly a rush fan, but that sounds so good. Just ordered one

Man I got this pedal and every time I use it it blows me away.!!! I use Spector basses and this combo is killer!

Just ordered mine. And took notes of your settings.

This vid made me buy the pedal.

Well done! Well played! Thanks for sharing the settings as well!

Awesome! I pulled the trigger on one of these after watching this video. Best sounding bass preamp!

dang that's impressive tone... and skillz

Wow. Great job. Unbelievable tone and playing. You killed it.

Who dislike this? Come forward and be known

Great playing and thanks for sharing the pedal settings for the different songs! My new Tech 21 YYZ Sansamp Pedal is arriving later today. I'll be referring to this video for the settings. I hope you're able to do another video sometime and share the settings to more Rush songs.

Please sir, you need to do a Part II. I ve just bought yyz pedal and i was blown away by your Barchetta Rickenbacker settings vs The "Rickenbacker" settings in manual

That Digital Man tone is AWESOME!! 😎👌

I need one of these asap

I’m in awe of the skill and ease with which you play. That pedal is pretty sweet !

I commend you sir! Not only did you demo and get a great accurate sound for all of those, but you played accurately AND you looked like you like what you were doing!!! Thank you

The best example of this pedal that tipped me to buy one thank you Joe

Well done! This, my compressor, and appropriate effects pedals have become my gig rig. Once you can dial this in, it’s fitting for any gig.

Nice, aggressive attack. That's how you demonstrate that pedal. Awesome playing man!🙂👍🏼

Perfect playing and tone And love that jazz bass

Wow…perfect

Watching all your videos here from Brazil... you nailed them all good! Same grip, same sound! Freaking amazing!

I think you sold me this pedal!)

Holy Nutt sac. You just sold me. Awesome job!

You...YOU!!☺👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 You CRUSHED it!🎸🎶🎶🎶 That sounds like my kinda pedal. 🔊👂🤗 And,☝🏿for $200, 💸💸 pretty good deal.💯 (I'm guessing *chops not included*)🤦

impressive Flamenco technique!!!

Fantastic playing and perfect tone! You nailed it.

Ooh man your playing is satisfying af

You’ve got the feel down! Loved watching you dig into the strings. Pedal sounds great too.

Incredible playing! Getting mine in a few days, super excited.

Nice job on Digital Man!

Nailed it!

Oh my god, that sounds MEATY AF

Yay!!! The video is back! Thanks!

I've just bought one of these pedals. I'll be using your settings to aid my search for the Geddy tone!! Thanks.

Very nice playing, session chops. Great time feel.

Great tone & playing!

Very good performance! Congratulations, you are a very good bass player! Thanks for sharing your sound!

Awesome❤️❤️❤️

Song selection is on point!

Dang. Awesome tone and technique. If I didn't already have one of these on the way, I would after watching this.

Well played.

Welcome back! It's been forever since you posted!

Thank you to put other song than popular song! The Main Monkey Buisness is so fun to play i love this song so much

You’re a fantastic player, I must say!

Magnificent brother, magnificent!

Man you nailed that in every regard. 💪🍀

I just bought the YYZ pedal, thanks for the tips!

Sounds awesome.

🔥💪🤘✊🔥

Great work. Tones are perfect

Well done! Subscribed

better settings than manual...thanks for posting your playing

This will sound pretty good with my Fender American Original 70’s Jazz Bass🤘🏻

Awesome work, man 🤘 I think I'm gonna save up for the DI version but I'm 100% sold on this pedal now.

That was awesome! How does that pedal do with the Wal era tones?

Killer demo!!

Great playing man! I've been asked to play in a Rush Tribute show and am doing research on his tone. The SansAmp pedal sounds like a winner. So are you using both pickups or just neck? I've read a few places that he doesn't use any bridge pick up, but listening to the isolated Rush bass tracks I'm not sure, but it does sound like bridge pickup is way down.

AWESOME! I’d love to get this pedal at some point. Quick question.. I see you have a Helix in the back, I’m also a Helix user. Have you ever been able to reproduce similar tones with the Helix?

Love all the Rush lines you’ve been playing on YT! May I ask what your signal chain is please (pickup blend, strings type etc)? I’ve put some new Tom Brantley pus in my jazz but still haven’t quite got the Geddy going! Thanks 🙏

Very cool.

love this bud, thanks ive just ordered one of these, your vid will help.

Amazing video man. I’m glad to see another Rush fan and awesome bassist in the world. How much was that though? (Also thank you for putting The Garden as the last song)

great !!!!

Is the red barchetta setting with tight switch enabled or disabled? Thanks!

Four people did not save enough pocket money for the Sansamp YYZ.

Joe, QUESTION, If you have the time, (btw, liker and subscriber to you and your band) do you recommend any pedal or preamp that allows for a stereo effects chain? I currently run a Line 6 Pod Pro into a Carvin power amp cuz of the discreet stereo fx loop for modulation fx. I know, crazy for bass but most of my 65 years I was a guitarist in love with my Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amp so I love stereo chorus. But bass is my Primary instrument now. Also funny cuz I don’t gig anymore… just play in my guest bedroom nightly ! Holy moly, love your playing. Just discovered you and your band today, subscribed to both. Rumble on, bass brother !!!

I know i am a bit tonedeaf and i can't learn songs (especially bass) by ear, but until i saw the tab for this songs i never would've though that the part that starts at 0:52 is actually this one. Even worse is the fact that now, after i know that this IS the actual part, i still can't hear it in the songs no matter how hard i try. On top of that playing the C-B-A G-E on top of the guitar that plays F E F E or w/e doesn't make any sense to me as well

Awesome Video Man! How'd u get versions of the song without the bass In it. Sounds amazing!

Great tones. I just got the YYZ Shapeshifter pedal today, but I am not running direct in. I am running through my GK amp. Should I just set everything on my amp at 12 o’clock, or how do I set up my amp to best get these tones?

Outstanding! Now do that while singing. 🙂

Great 👌🏽🤘🏽👊🏽😎

Wow. 👍

can I do a double like????

Sounds incredible. What did you do with the signal in the daw? Run it into an amp simulator?

Hi. Can i get the Cliff Burton clean and dirty tones with this pedal? Thanks

Wow that was amazing playing! Tell me, it looks like you have the string action very low on that bass. Is it low or just my imagination?

Great playing and sick tone!!! I need to get a yyz pedal! What strings are you using on the jazz?

Is that bass all stock? Been thinking of getting one of these pedals.....Thanks, sounds great!

Hi there! did you need another preamp or boost the gain of the interface?

Is there a geddy lee default setting or do I have to pick which one of these songs I think sounds best and just work with that because I don’t like the idea of having to adjust settings

Perfect. You play hard but dont beat the shit out of the strings. like a lot of geddy players do.

so is there any point in getting the DI 2112 or is this basically just as good? Is it just for different uses/rigs or is there a noticeable difference in tone between the two?

Oof! Great tone...

Hi. Can i get the distortion used by geddy Lee with a Tube screamer or another pedal or is better to buy his sansamp signature pedals ? What do you suggest ? Thanks.
