GED-2112 Geddy Lee Signature Sansamp Preamp
The Tech 21 GED-2112 Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp Preamp is a true marvel of engineering, distilling the iconic bassist's entire onstage rig into a compact, dual-channel powerhouse. Geddy's decades-long partnership with Tech 21 has resulted in this unorthodox yet ingenious solution, allowing him to ditch bulky amplifiers in favor of a streamlined setup that delivers his signature tones. At the heart of the GED-2112 are two parallel SansAmp circuits, each with its own distinct personality. The Drive channel draws from the versatile SansAmp RPM, providing a wide range of gain and overdrive textures, from crystal-clean to snarling aggression. The Deep channel, meanwhile, offers a dedicated low-end boost for thick, meaty tones that anchor the mix. By blending these two channels, users can craft a truly unique sound, tailored to their individual playing style and rig. But the innovation doesn't stop there. The GED-2112 also features a sweepable semi-parametric EQ, allowing for precise tone-shaping, as well as a saturation control that adds harmonic richness and tube-like compression. And thanks to the built-in speaker simulation, this preamp can be seamlessly integrated into any bass rig, whether direct to the board or powering an external cab. For bassists seeking the holy grail of tone, the Tech 21 GED-2112 Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp Preamp is a must-have. It's a testament to Geddy's relentless pursuit of sonic perfection and Tech 21's engineering prowess, distilling decades of iconic tones into a single, indispensable pedal.
