Sans Amp Tube Amp Emulator

The Sans Amp came out at a time when Modeling Amps were still in the distance, and convinced with its really realistic sounds. But even now, the GT2 can still claim its place, because, despite its ease of operation, the GT2 is really extremely flexible, and every guitar player should probably be able to make his favorite sound for direct solutions.

Sounds like a guitar amp.

Anonymous 18.06.2016

I am not a guitarist. But I do record them often. And I also have a 24 fret 6 string bass, which sounds like a guitar near the top of the fretboard. So I bought this for recording.

When I plug this thing in, I can get really great tones out of it straight away. It sounds fantastic on any settings (apart from the EQ, which I always leave flat, and EQ ITB instead). There's no harshness which you might get from digital FX. (Not that digital amp emulators are bad, but many of them just use waveshaping instead of proper circuit simulation). And it's always better to record through a distortion effect instead of adding it afterwards.

I can also get great distorted bass tones out of it too. If I want to get a Motown distorted P-bass sound (where the distortion becomes invisible in the mix, but helps the bass stick out) it's very easy to dial in.

I do wish this had a parallel dry output though. I know there are other SansAmp models which do this, but it didn't have many options. So I just use an active signal splitter before going in to record the dry signal too.

Bought this one, changed to Classic

ThorSwe 17.12.2021

I bought this one looking for the Nirvana type of tones.. I listened to a lot of A/B:s of the GT2 and the Sansamp Classic and found very slight differences ( a bit more "rawness" on the Classic). I decided to change to the Classic and its probably unnessecary and just OCD/perfectionism behaviour...
They are both great pedals, and the difference is very slight in sound. Not really worth considering for a normal laid back person..

There's better

Adam Outlnd 26.06.2022

The thing with this is that it WAS cool. However there are just too many better versions on the market now (like the Simplifier, Tsakalis AudioWorks Multicab, etc), leaving the sound quality of this outdated and inferior in my opinion.

Voilà une pedale couteau suisse fort bien faite! Je suis guitariste pro et cette pedale me sert dans de multiples situation, à tel point qu'elle fait partie de mon pédalier.

Son utilisation première pour moi est la simulation d'ampli, je l'utilise souvent en simulation d'ampli en son clair, en direct console, afin de passer mes pédales dedans. Super efficace autant en concert que chez moi pour bosser dans mon home-studio.

L'autre utilisation est pour moi de la brancher comme une pedale de saturation traditionnelle, pour obtenir au contraire des très grosses saturations, elle a un coté un peu chimique qui correspond exactement à ce que je veux, et de manière toutes les pédales de cette marque ont une petite empreinte sonore qui plait ou pas, mais qui se place très bien dans un mix.

Je ne m'en sers pas pour ça mais elle peut aussi être utiliser directement en carte son pour l'enregistrement.

L'étoile manquante pour la fabrication est du au fait que la pedale utilise pas mal de plastique, j'utilise la mienne depuis des années et fonctionne parfaitement, mais je garde un doute quant au long terme, peut-être à tort.
