QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
Here’s how you can get your SansAmp PSA up and running before you read the
entire manual.
1. Plug your instrument into the Input jack.
2. Plug one end of a cord into the Output jack, and plug the other end into the
input of a mixer or an amp or power amp.
3. Attach the power supply and plug into a wall socket. It will show 00, bypass.
(If it doesn’t, just go to 00.)
4. Turn on your amp or mixer. (If the mixer is patched into a monitor or
recorder setup, make sure the power amp and speakers are turned on, too.)
5. Turn up the input level on your amp or mixer. If the signal is too “hot,” result-
ing in unwanted distortion, or too weak, check the amp’s or mixer’s input con-
trol. Also check the Trim control on the SansAmp PSA.
6. Play your favorite riff or chord changes, and you should hear a sound coming
through your system. If not, recheck your connections, and make sure your guitar’s
volume control is turned up.
7. Select a program by pushing either the Up or Down buttons. The unit is
shipped with the first 49 programs (01-49) as factory presets (refer to the list
on page 22). Programs 51-99 are duplicates of presets 01-49. From 100-127, all
knobs are preset neutral at 12 o’clock. Programs 00 and 50 are permanent by-
pass settings. For more details, refer to “Programming” on pages 7-8.
UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
The SansAmp PSA is shipped with a power supply that is set up with a
U.S. prong assembly. To change the prong assembly to one of the in-
cluded European, UK or Australia/New Zealand styles, be sure the
power supply is unplugged and follow these instructions:
Press the PUSH switch to release the
prong assembly. Slide the assembly up
(about halfway) to align the side tabs
of the prong assembly with the slots of
the power supply housing. Then pull up
to remove the assembly. Choose the
new prong assembly, align the side tabs
with the slot of the housing and slide
down until it clicks into position.
NOTE: You cannot slide the
prong assembly all the way out
or in.
APPLICATIONS
WITH A GUITAR OR BASS AMP RIG:
-As a Pre-Amp:
Run the 1/4” Output of the PSA directly into the
power amp input, a.k.a. “effects return” (if applicable), of an amp. This
will bypass the tone-coloring pre-amp section of the amp rig.
-As a Stomp Box:
Run the 1/4” Output into the front input of an
amp. For best results, keep the PSA Level close to unity gain so you
have the same volume coming from your speaker/monitor whether the
pedal is active or in bypass. This ensures the next device in the signal
chain won't get slammed by a much hotter signal than what would nor-
mally come from the instrument. Similarly, you wouldn't want a drop in
volume, either, which would force the next device to struggle for
enough signal.
TO DRIVE A POWER AMP:
Run the 1/4” Output to the input
of a power amp, and adjust your stage volume with the Level and/or
Trim control(s) of the PSA.
TO RECORD DIRECT:
Plug the 1/4” Output directly into the input
of a mixer/recorder. Work with the input trim control on the
mixer/recorder and be sure not to overload its input. Bear in mind full-
range systems yield a wide frequency response.
FOR MIXDOWNS:
You can liven up existing tracks in mixdowns
not only for guitar and bass, but for any stringed instruments, as well as
drums, wind instruments, even vocals. We encourage experimentation!
Be aware the PSA 2.0 runs at instrument level. You may need to adjust
the level at the board or the setting on the PSA so as not to overload
the input.
THE INS AND OUTS
1/4” INPUT:
1megOhm instrument level. Features an impedance
buffer so that the tone from a guitar’s or bass’ pickups, or the signal
from other instruments, reaches the SansAmp PSA without degrada-
tion. For normal operation, signal level to Input should be close to that
of a standard guitar (approximately -10dBm / 250mV).
1/4” UNIVERSAL OUTPUT:
Unbalanced low Z output. This
output can be connected to High Z amplifiers (or effects) as well as Low
Z mixer and computer inputs. Output level is unity gain when pedal is in bypass
mode. It also drives long cables without loss of signal integrity, even in bypass.
NOTE: The 1/4” Output is a TRS jack. The complete SansAmp signal is
passed through the tip, while the ring connection carries the SansAmp signal
without speaker simulation. Refer to the Speaker Simulation section on
page 9.
