Functionality:
- The SansAmp GT2 allows users to "architecturally" create their own rig in
an instant, providing immediate access to a choice of amplifier, modification,
and cabinet/mic placement configurations.
- It offers the ability to mix and match specific sound characteristics in
intriguing ways that would otherwise be physically improbable, probably
impractical, and definitely not cost-effective.
- On-board, post-EQ is included to give users optimum control, and a custom
footswitch actuator provides smooth, silent engagement of the circuitry.
- The buffered bypass ensures no high-frequency signal loss through long
cable lengths.
Use Cases:
- With a Guitar Amp: The output of the SansAmp GT2 can be run directly into
the input of a power amp, bypassing the tone coloring section of the pre-amp.
It can also be run into the front input of an amp, with specific tips provided
for setting up the amp.
- To Drive a Power Amp: The output of the SansAmp GT2 can be run into the
input of a power amp with an input sensitivity of -10dB to 0dB, using the
master volume control of the power amp to adjust stage volume.
- To Record Direct: Users can plug directly into the input of a
mixer/recorder and use the on-board sounds of the SansAmp GT2, with
recommendations for EQ levels and signal level to input.
Additional Notes:
- The SansAmp GT2 is designed to accommodate instrument level signals to the
Input, such as the output of a guitar, the output of other distortion pedals,
etc.
- It is recommended to avoid running the speaker output of any amp directly
into the SansAmp GT2 to prevent potential damage.
