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 unique invention commercially available to play-
ers and studios around the world. His highly-acclaimed
SansAmp™
pio-
neered Tube Amplifier Emulation in professional applications for recording
direct and performing live, and created an entirely new category of signal pro-
cessing. While there have since been many entries into this niche, SansAmp
continues to maintain its reputation as the industry standard.
After developing a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 expanded its offer-
ings to include effect pedals; a compact, battery operable MIDI footcontroller,
the MIDI Mouse; as well as “traditional” style amplifiers. Each product is
thoughtfully and respectfully designed by Andrew himself with the player in
mind. Our goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate, con-
trol, 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.

Landmark 300, an Overview
The Landmark 300 is a 2-rackspace, 300-watt version of its predecessor, the
Landmark 600. It offers the same truckload of the most desirable vintage and
modern tube amp sounds, including Fender® and SVT® styles, as well as a
variety of overdriven tones --the ones that typically require a complex mass
of effects that aren’t really designed for bass in the first place. The interac-
tive controls give you access to specific tone shaping characteristics to cre-
ate your own custom sounds as well.
For studio and live applications, our proprietary, 100% analog SansAmp
Tube Amplifier Emulation technology enables you to go straight into the
mixer of a recorder or PA system via the XLR Direct Output.
The Footswitch further expands the Landmark 300’s capabilities. In addition
to being able to remotely change channels, there is a MUTE switch which
allows you to silently tune your instrument, and a MIX function to simultane-
ously engage both channels, yielding 3 footswitchable sounds.
With the Landmark 300, you get a truckload of big amp sounds in a single
cost-effective package.
