How the PSA-1 Works
B. Andrew Barta of Tech 21, Inc. introduced the
SansAmp Classic in 1989. A guitar player with
both a trained ear and electronics expertise, An-
drew and Tech 21 pioneered the market for tube
amplifier emulation.
SansAmp’s FET-hybrid circuitry captures the
low-order harmonics and sweet overdrive
unique to tube amplifiers. And pushed harder,
SansAmp also generates cool lo-fi and grainy
sound textures that still retain warmth.
SansAmp also features a proprietary speaker sim-
ulator which emulates the smooth, even re-
sponse of a multiple-miked speaker cabinet—
free of the harsh peaks, valleys and notches as-
sociated with single miking or poor microphone
placement.
Finally, SansAmp provides two extremely sweet
sounding tone controls (high and low) that
sound great on most anything.
Tube sound, speaker simulation, warm equaliza-
tion and cool lo-fi textures—no wonder thou-
sands of records feature the classic sounds of
SansAmp!
