Tech 21 redefined the term “direct box” with the development of SansAmpTM Bass DI, and again with SansAmp Bass Driver DI. For recording and live performances, our exclusive Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry delivers the sound of a
We have now adapted our proprietary technology specifically for the acoustic guitar player, whose seemingly simplistic desire to just put a good quality microphone in front of an acoustic guitar is foiled by feedback or unbalanced sound. Piezo pickups have helped, but their characteristic high frequencies tend to sound artificial and abrasive.
With SansAmp Acoustic DI, the parametric equalizer (the Mid Shift con- trol) removes unwanted feedback. The Tube/Microphone Emulation circuit- ry (engaged via the Blend control) eliminates the unnatural harmonics of piezo pickups. SansAmp Acoustic DI gives your acoustic guitar a natural warmth and presence as if you were miking the guitar through a tube
SansAmp Acoustic DI also functions as a standard direct box with EQ when the Blend control is at minimum. In bypass (inactive), SansAmp Acoustic DI functions solely as a standard transparent direct box.
As with each SansAmp model, the controls are designed to give you the flexibility to achieve your desired sound, be it at home, in a local bistro or on a world tour.
