The Tech 21 Sans Amp Character Plus Series is an effort to capture the feeling and sound of different eras and families of different amplifier brands. Each unit represents a brand and carries an entire lineage. This is a way for players to have access to many different amp sounds without having to spend the money on multiple amps! The first Character Series units were designed in 2008, but the new Character Plus series units came out in 2022. Josh was excited to get his hands on them. On today's live, Josh is going to spend some time talking about them and what they offer. And you know he's going to jam.

Gonna cast another vote for a history of Tech 21 episode. The VT Bass DI was the first pedal I actually bought once I started playing with a band as a bassist. Amazing what that little box can do without an amp right into a mixing board. It’s a low end thickener

I would love to see a detailed video dedicated to Tech21. This company is so interesting :) thanks!

@matthewcoyle2874 Год назад

Absolutely, please do a show. They are amazing at what they do and fantastic people. I realized that they are located right in NJ and I cold called and stopped by and told them how much I loved them since I bought my original Sans Amp. They introduced me to Andrew. I had an issue with my Trademark 60 (outstanding amp!), and they said to bring it in and they would help. And they did. They fixed it for me with a quick turnaround time. They should be as big as all the rest. Not only because they are good people but they deserve it. Their stuff sounds great. My Acoustic pedalboard has the Acoustic DI and it just sounds great. My Bass Driver is such as easy way to get a bass sound on tape... Love it!

@ricardosilvestri94 Год назад

Would love to see more on Tech 21. Hands-down, Tech 21's FlyRig 5 V2 is the ONLY reason I don't sweat equipment failure at gigs. In addition to my Fractal unit, the FlyRig goes in my gig bag. I've also done quite a few gigs subbing for the regular guitarist where I show up with that, a wah, my wireless, and a piezo-equipped solidbody guitar. All the tones - including acoustic, are right there. I just plug right into the PA and go go go. Nothing can touch that!

@wootks Год назад

It's a real shame Josh didn't use one of his vintage batteries to power the sansamp. A classic Radio Shack would have really opened up that Screaming Blonde. Did you know when Kurt used his Sansamp he exclusively used batteries made in Seattle?

@jonbarnett9363 Год назад

That is a misconception. Actually, Kurt used Portland-made carbon-zinc batteries that were aged in melt waters coming off of the Cascade Mountains. But you're not alone in your error. Don't feel bad.

I think a Tech 21 episode is waaaay overdue... Tech 21 makes the coolest products

@nachobassman Год назад

As a working bassplayer I can say Tech21 and their SansAmp pedals are the best in the market. I’ve using and abusing a Bass Driver since 2001 an there is nothing out there that can replace it. Brilliant pedals.

@10CentHead Год назад

I’ve got a few of the original Character Series pedals. They are my “secret weapon” for studio work. So many useful tones, and EQ knobs that actually do something! 😅

Josh - great video! Please do one on their bass products! Tech 21 has been a back saver for bass players. I wish these had existed back in the day. Not just great for recording but amazing live. The tones you can get run the full gamut of styles and genres. Tech 21 are pioneers and we thank them.

@nachobassman Год назад

Yes, please, an in-deep episode with Andrew and Tech21.

@happihockey8601 Год назад

Would be a great show on the history of Tech 21, I used a Double Drive, an XXL and had a Tech 21 Trademark 60 with a custom Tweed instead of the standard black as my main amp for about 10 years. Great stuff, as Josh said see there bass Sansamp pedals everywhere. Yes, yes please do a full show on Tech 21. Also my main guitar is a Revered Ron Asheton signature V with a Les Trem on it, so glad to see a Reverend Airsonic in Josh's hands

@admarhermans1 Год назад

I play bass... I’ve been using many versions of Tech21 SansAmp DI/preamp pedals since the mid ‘90’s. They’re my live sound and never let me down. Much better than the new Ampeg and Origin Effects stuff! I tried all of those too. Tip: make good use of the blend knob! 100% full on is almost always just a little too much for bass, and use the ‘parallel out’ to go from the pedal to your bass rig. 🖖

@SfordRog Год назад

Yes, please do a "Who Is Tech 21?" show. They made some cool amplifiers, too.

@chrisradzion2148 Год назад

I love this series. I wish it was more affordable, but I guess they deserve the asking price. They take an amplifier manufacturer, make an “amp in a box” with a dial to capture various models and tones from that manufacturer; and then they pair it with a pedal that really compliments its sound, combos that have been famously used by artists (Marshall with a Fuzz Face: Hendrix; Hiwatt with a Big Muff: Gilmour; Fender with a Tube Screamer: Stevie Ray Vaughan). And the fact that they are things you can bring to a gig in a backpack instead of lugging huge vintage amplifier is an added bonus. I personally really want the English Muffy; it’s as close to a “Gilmour in a Box” pedal as you can get (along with the Keeley Darkside).

@echocollectors Год назад

Is the fourth combination, Vox with a Rangemaster, inspired by Brian May tones? (My best guess)

@chrisradzion2148 Год назад

@@echocollectors that’s my guess. It’s almost more of an “artist in a box” than an “amp in a box”, though the amps with the character dial are extremely versatile.

@antipusrises Год назад

I'd love to see a Tech 21 show. I bought a SansAmp classic on eBay forever ago without even knowing it's connection to Cobain. I just wanted a cool pedal that could make my crappy solid state amp sound better. That pedal has been one of my most valued possessions, and I feel like it doesn't get the love that it deserves.

@ivanwildboy Год назад

I'm using Liverpool by Tech 21 since 2017 and it's amazing! I'm playing it direct in the PA in every gig, it's perfect, it's my portable Vox

Nice one. I have an old cheap dodgy tube combo. I'm looking for a pre amp to run into a 30w digi power amp, into the cab. I've trued using a "pre-amp" style pedal like a Metal Zone but it's a tonal desert. I was wondering about one of these or a joyo.

@seashorerumble1380 Год назад

You know, I think that at the end of the day there's only so many ways you can put together transistors and potentiometers, so really these are the main archetypes that all boutique amps belong to anyway

@chrisradzion2148 Год назад

It’s amazing how those amps have the tones that every other amp manufacturer, both large and boutique, base their tones on. I guess you could add Hiwatt, Orange, and Mesa Boogie, but as great as they are, they are still downstream and derivative of Fender and Marshall.

@whiskerbiscuit6674 Год назад

The same can be said about guitars

@greyklopstock7155 Год назад

Reading the overview of the character plus series, these all sound INCREDIBLE. Tech 21 sansamp preamps, with additional speaker emulation, AND a built in effect that is famous for being paired with the modeled amp? That's an insane amount of things to put together. Even though I can't stand tube screamers, the screaming blonde honestly sounds like a friggin awesome idea and something that I'd kinda kill for. As a bass player, I've got the venerated programmable bass di that I've had since high school, so I'm well familiar with the quality and ubiquity of tech 21. I had no idea they dropped these recently, cause if I did, I'm sure I probably would've picked one up. Even though it'd absolutely kill the space on my board lol. Definitely something I'll keep an eye on

@scottsempeck3422 Год назад

Love Andrew and his products - have have the Liverpool and British on my pedal board since the came out. Perfect for Vox’ing and Marshall’ing my ‘70’s Pro Reverb (and Twin before replacing with the Pro) without having to own so many amps. Thanks Josh!

@EdGrabianowski Год назад

One thing I would love to see are some actual gig videos. I know this would take a lot of effort to set up, but it would be so valuable to once in a while see someone arrive at the venue with their rig and work with the sound person to set up and soundcheck. I would learn so much from seeing stuff like running with Sansamp straight into the board, or using an effects loop, or other stuff I "understand" but haven't experienced in a stage setting. Did I miss the giveaway? That Screaming Blonde is a dream come true. 😃

@brianrollins7275 Год назад

Great video on these character plus pedals. They sound great and I’m definitely interested in checking them out someday. I wish I was home when you went live so I could’ve had a chance at winning the blonde screamer. I always seem to miss out on your giveaways because I’m always at work when the live happens. Bummer!!! Thanks for sharing. Take care

Basically the Cobain/Nirvana thing didn't seem to go to their head. Somehow they're making superior products while still remembering what it's like to be a normal musician with super picky taste. Thanks Tech 21 & thanks Josh.

@cszollinger 8 месяцев назад

Didn't see you did this live awhile ago. I'm a big Tech 21 fan. Bought two used PSA 1 rack preamps back in high school and used them exclusively back then. These days, I'm running one of their custom shop Blonde pedal/preamp. It's really cool because it's got six channels and it's own effects loop, and lots of plug options. I also have their Double Drive which lets you cascade Class A distortion into Class A/B distortion. Really hope you cover them more!

@JordanSeal Год назад

I haven't played much Tech 21 stuff, but I understand the popular Joyo "XYZ Sound" pedals are clones of pedals in the OG Character Series, and I've played a few of those. They are very, very good. Also: I smile every time I see the avocado album poster on your wall. Amazing album, very underrated.

@PFB1994 Год назад

First pedal I got was a Tech 21 Tri OD, it had 3 sans amp settings with drive and volume. I just wanted to be able to change the volume on my guitar by stepping on a pedal.

These pedals are awesome and sound great, and having the onboard boost/fuzz/drive is killer.
