PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This triple channel switching overdrive stomp box offers
true
channel switching
between three completely different tube amp characters,
“Tweed,” “California,”
and
“British.”
For greater flexibility and usefulness, each channel is independent with its
own
Drive
and
Level
controls.Tech 21’s custom footswitch actuator provides a
smooth transition between channels for instantaneous switching.
The TRI-O.D. can be used for live performances with an amp/combo, or to drive a
power amp and guitar speaker cabinets.Turning off all 3 channels enables you to
use the
Speaker Simulator
and
Master Output Section
only.This feature is useful
when you want to record direct with a pre-amp, fuzz box, or any other stomp
boxes in your collection.
Manufacturer of the highly-acclaimed SansAmp
TM
line of Tube Amplifier Emulators,
Tech 21’s proprietary circuitry is engineered in the true tradition of tube ampli-
fiers in their
totality
--with a pre-amp stage and an output stage. It incorporates
the harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics uniquely inherent to tube
amplifiers.This is largely caused by what is referred to as “push-pull” symmetrical
clipping, which a single tube is physically incapable of accomplishing.
The TRI-O.D. employs aspects of this technology to deliver the same dynamics,
responsiveness, and sound quality of the top pro stage rigs in a conveniently
portable,
switchable
, pedal format.
WARNING:
DO NOT run the speaker output of
any
amp directly into
the TRI-O.D. Severe damage to the amp and/or the TRI-O.D.
may result.
