Tech 21, the Company
Tech 21, Inc., was formed by a guitarist possessing the unusual combination
of a trained ear and electronics expertise. In 1989, B. Andrew Barta incorpo-
rated Tech 21 and made his invention commercially available to players and
studios around the world.
SansAmp™
pioneered Tube Amplifier Emulation in
professional applications for recording direct and performing live, and creat-
ed an entirely new category of signal processing. While there have since
been many entries into this niche, SansAmp continues to maintain its
reputation as the industry standard.
After developing a variety of SansAmp models, Tech 21 expanded its offer-
ings to include effect pedals; a compact, battery operable MIDI footcon-
troller, the
MIDI Mouse
; as well as “traditional” style amplifiers for guitar and
bass. Each product is thoughtfully and respectfully designed with the player
in mind. Our goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate,
control, refine and redefine your own individual sound. Tech 21 takes great
pride in delivering consistent professional quality sound, studio to studio,
club to club, arena to arena.
Bronzewood 60, an Overview
Tech 21’s proprietary, 100% analog circuitry has been adapted from its
SansAmp configuration into a dual-channel, 60-watt combo amp format
specifically for the acoustic player. Our exclusive technology removes the
harsh harmonics associated with piezo pickups and delivers a natural
warmth and presence for which Tech 21 is known.
Compact and lightweight, the Bronzewood 60 is loaded with exceptionally
extensive features, including a compressor and a top-of-the-line full-length,
Accutronics™ 3-spring reverb. The distinctive brown crocodile embossed
vinyl covered cabinet is complemented by a custom grill covering and
decorative piping detail.
For live and studio applications, our highly-acclaimed SansAmp Tube/
Microphone Emulation technology enables you to go straight into the mixer
of a PA system or recording console via the XLR direct output.
With the Bronzewood 60, you get a lot of sound in an affordable, cost-
effective
38 lb.
package.
