DEEP SECTION
The Deep Section is an independent, parallel pre-amp with individual Level and
Saturation controls. To keep things lean and efficient, the EQ curve is preset to Geddy’s
personal specs.
Saturation
Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section of a
tube amp is being pushed.
Level 2
Adjusts the output level of the Deep Section.
REAR PANEL
Inputs A and B
Dual inputs to have 2 instruments ready to go. Reminder: when you plug into the front
panel’s Input, rear panel Inputs A and B will be disconnected.
Inputs A and B Level Selector Switch
This switch lets you connect the SansAmp GED-2112 to a wide variety of equipment
with a variety of signal levels. Also, you can set the Input level selector switch to its
-20dB position when you plug in extra-hot signals, such as the output from active bass
guitars. There are two positions:
0dB (in position).
Optimizes the rear panel Inputs to accept instrument level sig-
nals. In this position, Input A and B’s sensitivity is the same as the front panel’s Input.
NOTE: We recommend you start with the switch in this position.
-20dB (out position).
Set the switch in this position to engage the pad when
sending a line-level signal into the SansAmp GED-2112. When the switch is in this
position, the signal coming into the unit is padded down by 20dB.
EFFECTS LOOP
(Drive Section Only)
Send and Return
The Effects Loop allows you to connect external effects with the SansAmp GED-2112
and is placed between the tone controls and Level controls of the Drive Section.
Connect the input of your processor to Send; output of your processor to Return. Note:
When nothing is plugged into the Effects Loop, the signal passes through from the
SansAmp GED-2112 to the Drive Output jacks, with both the SansAmp 1/4" and XLR
Outputs receiving the same signal.

Mix 50/50 Switch
The 1/4" Send routes 100% of the SansAmp GED-2112’s signal through your effects
processor when the 50/50 switch is not engaged. If you engage the 50/50 switch, then
50% of the SansAmp GED-2112 signal goes through your effects processor, and the
other 50% passes directly to the SansAmp 1/4" and XLR Outputs of the Drive Section.
To preserve the signal integrity of the SansAmp GED-2112, use the Effects Loop with
the Mix 50/50 switch engaged. When the SansAmp GED-2112 is in this mode, the
effects processor’s mix control should be set at 100% wet. Your relative wet/dry mix
can then be controlled by increasing/decreasing the effects processor’s output level.
NOTE: If you experience a thin, undesirable sound or phase cancellation, the effect
may not be capable of a 100% wet signal. Therefore, we suggest disengaging the Mix
50/50 switch.
UNIVERSAL OUTPUT SECTION
The output sections of the SansAmp GED-2112 are designed to be compatible with any
application. The outputs can be used for full range (P.A. systems, multi-track recorders,
powered studio monitors) or limited range systems (amplifiers utilizing limited range
guitar or speaker cabinets), as well as
simultaneously. For recording, the SansAmp out-
puts are like having a built-in direct box. Designed without a transformer, they provide a
balanced, low-impedance output of extremely high quality for recording or interfacing
with professional-quality signal processors. You can go direct to the board and get the
same sound you hear coming out of the speakers right onto tape or disc. The SansAmp
circuitry not only captures the warm, rich, natural harmonics and sweet overdrive char-
acteristics inherent to tube amplifiers, its speaker emulation encompasses all aspects
of multiply-miked tube amp rigs. For live gigs, you can use these outputs direct into the
P.A. system and you won’t need a microphone in front of your amp.
1/4
"
Uneffected Output
Buffered output without processing. Sends a direct signal, right from the input, to
another channel on your amp, pre-amp, or effects chain.
1/4
"
SansAmp Outputs
Each 1/4” SansAmp Output carries the signal from its corresponding section of the
SansAmp GED-2112, including any effects that are placed in the Effects Loop of the
Drive Section.
Level Selector Switch:
0dB (in position): Unity gain output. NOTE: Start with the switch in this position.
-20dB (out position): Pads down the signal by 20dB.
SansAmp XLR Direct Outputs
Each XLR Output carries the signal from its corresponding section of the SansAmp
GED-2112, including any effects that are placed in the Effects Loop of the Drive
Section.
Level Selector Switch:
0dB (in position): Line-level output. NOTE: Start with the switch in this position.
-20dB (out position): Pads down the line-level signal by 20dB.
