ECH 21, THE COMPANY
Tech 21 was formed by a guitarist possessing the unusual combination 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 recording direct and performing live,
and created an entirely new category of signal processing. While there have
since been many entries into this niche, SansAmp continues to maintain its
reputation as the industry standard.
After developing a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 expanded its offerings
to include effect pedals; a compact, battery operable MIDI footcontroller, the
MIDI Mouse; as well as "traditional" style amplifiers for guitar and bass. Each
product is thoughtfully and respectfully designed by B. Andrew Barta himself
with the player in mind.
Our goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate, control,
refine and redefine your own individual sound. Tech 21 takes great pride in
delivering consistent professional quality sound, studio to studio, club to club,
arena to arena.

ASS POWER ENGINE 60, AN OVERVIEW
Like most Tech 21 products, the Bass Power Engine 60 is designed to be
multi-functional. For studio and live applications, it can be utilized as a pre-
amp amplifier system and as a personal monitoring system.
These rugged cabinets are compatible with
pre-amp, analog or digital, tube or solid state, in stomp box or rackmount for-
any
mats, from manufacturer! (We are, of course, partial to SansAmp, but,
hey, that's just us.) Now you can take all those great direct recording sounds
you've spent so much time creating out to a gig without having to tweak all of
your presets. Simply plug your SansAmp or pre-amp du jour into the Bass
Power Engine, and run the XLR output to the house P.A. You can amplify all
your personal settings without getting any additional coloration --just volume.
You can even take this set-up into the studio and take advantage of employing
various miking techniques.
As a live stage monitor, you control what you need to hear. We've even
included convenient, 3-band active EQ controls to compensate for difficult
rooms. Ground independent inputs and output allow you to endlessly chain
Bass Power Engines together --even in stereo. There's no limit to how many
you can have --for yourself, your drummer (who will most certainly appreciate
the individual level control), or whoever else would benefit from being able to
hear you.
