IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

HEED ALL WARNINGS.

This unit is powered by potentially hazardous voltage. Therefore, observe
the following safety precautions:

1.

Read and follow all instructions before using

product.

2.

Do not use product near water (such as near

a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming

pool, in a wet basement, etc.).

3.

Unit should be located so that its location or

position does not impede the flow of air through

the ventilation openings.

4.

Product should be located away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, or

other products, including amplifiers, that pro-

duce heat.

5.

Product should be connected to a power

supply only of the type described in the operat-

ing instructions or as marked on the product.

6.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, con-

venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

7.

Do not allow objects or liquids to penetrate the enclosure through openings.

8.

During heavy use, chassis may get hot to the touch. Handle with care.

9.

Protect unit from strong impact.

10.

Unplug product before cleaning. Never spray liquid cleaners into the unit. Wipe

with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.

11.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 

12.

This product should be used only with a cart or stand, if neces-

sary, that is recommended by the manufacturer. When a cart is

used, use caution when moving the cart/product combination to

avoid injury from tipping over. 

13.

Amplifiers may be capable of producing high volume levels that

could cause permanent hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to

such levels is prolonged. Such damage is progressive and irreversible! If you experi-

ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult an audiologist. 

14.

Unplug unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of

time.

15.

This unit must be earth grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, NEVER remove or oth-

erwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. If the provided plug does not fit into your

outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

WARNING:

To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not expose this unit to

rain or moisture. Do not remove metal coverings from its enclosure. Removing the cov-

erings exposes extremely dangerous high voltages. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Hazardous voltages are present inside the chassis. Refer all servicing to quali-

fied personnel.

CAUTION:

Never modify the power cord. If original power cord becomes damaged,

frayed, or has exposed wires, replace immediately with same rating and gauge, or high-

er. Replacements are commercially available or you can contact Tech 21 directly.

WARNING:

Attempting to repair this unit is not recommended and may void its 

warranty. NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, servicing is performed at factory only. In

other countries, please refer repairs to the local Tech 21 authorized distributor.

FUSE

Fuse holder is located inside A/C cord receptacle. 

You must unplug and

remove power cord to change fuse.

Replace with similar

type and same value:

100V and 117V units: use F 1A L

230V and 240V units: use F 0.5A L

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

Get your SansAmp GED-2112 up and running before reading the entire manual. But by

not reading the manual, you’ll miss out on getting the most out of your new investment! 

1.  Plug your instrument into the front panel Input jack (on the left side).

2.  Connect either the 1/4" or XLR SansAmp Outputs to the input of your mixer, power

amp, powered monitor or amp. Set all 3 Level Selector switches in the “in” position.

3.  Attach the AC cord to the unit and plug into a wall socket. Set the Level controls to

minimum, then turn the SansAmp GED-2112 on and engage the Function switch

(between the Drive and Deep section).

4.  Turn on the mixer or amp and bring up the Level controls of the SansAmp GED-

2112. If the signal is too “hot,” resulting in unwanted distortion, or too weak, check the

mixer’s or amp’s input control as well as the Level controls of the SansAmp GED-2112.

5. Play your instrument and you should hear sound coming through your system. If not,

check that your instrument’s volume control is turned up, recheck your connections, and be

sure your cable isn’t faulty. If there is still no sound, refer to factory or qualified technician.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to important operating and maintenance
instructions in the accompanying literature. Read the manual.
