Product Overview - Tech 21 SansAmp TRI-A.C. Owner's Manual

TECH 21, THE COMPANY
Tech 21, Inc., was formed by a guitarist possessing the unusual combina-
ion of a trained ear and electronics expertise. In 1989, B. Andrew Barta
incorporated Tech 21 and made his invention commercially available to
players and studios around the world. His highly-acclaimed SansAmp™
pioneered Tube Amplifier Emulation in professional applications for re-
cording direct and performing live, and created an entirely new category of
signal processing.There have since been many entries into this niche, yet
SansAmp continues to maintain its reputation as the industry standard.
With a full line of SansAmp models,Tech 21 also offers effect pedals; a
compact, battery operable MIDI footcontroller, the MIDI Mouse; as well as
"traditional" style amplifiers for guitar and bass. Each product is thought-
fully and respectfully designed by B. Andrew Barta himself with the player
in mind. Our goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to culti-
vate, control, refine and redefine your own individual sound.Tech 21 takes
great pride in delivering consistent quality sound, studio to studio, club to
club, arena to arena.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

SansAmp TRI-A.C. combines the warmth of a 100% analog signal path
with the convenience of digital programmability in a super simple, player-
friendly stomp box format.
Our proprietary technology captures the rich, natural harmonics and
sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers, and does so
even at low volume. SansAmp TRI-A.C. delivers the same dynamics,
responsiveness, and sound quality of massive pro stage rigs in a portable,
programmable, 3-channel pedal.
The ease of operation allows you to make changes on the fly, at the gig,
even during your performance --without having to take this manual with
you.There are no complex formulas or numerical calculations to learn, so
SansAmp TRI-A.C. won't get in the way of your creative flow.
Independent footswitches put your three favorite tones right at your feet,
from clean jazz to molten metal. Custom actuators provide a smooth
transition between channels for instantaneous switching, so you can dance
to the music instead of your gear.
As with each SansAmp model, the controls are designed to give you the
flexibility to obtain your desired sound, be it at home, in a local bistro or
on a world tour.
