GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Sansamp Anyone?
Posted by: Adrian Figallo Aug 23 2011, 05:18 PM
hey guys, i'm looking into these small amp emulators, do you guys know them?
im curios, they also make one called the TRI AC, but i cant find it on the website, it's like a programable analog 3 channel pre amp

I was checking out TRI AC before some time, I think it sounded very good. I've heard Sansamp on stage in action, and it comes out nicely. Should be good for home recording, and for live too, since it's analog. Too bad Sansamp is not really around in stores here (along side with many other things 
)

same thing here ivan, they sound great and all, but i just can't find em here, maybe im going to order the british one, and make a review for everyone

As far as I understand Rammstein built their guitar sound around them. They also have a famous model for direct recording bass in the home studio.
So this should be good stuff!

great feedback kris, i didn't that about Rammstein but that's a great reference, i thinking, maybe i could get like 1 or 2 modelers and a bunch of pedals, overdrive, mods, wah, booster etc, and that into a clean power amp + speakers, or send it on a line, it's an interesting concept.
do you guys think that could work?

try a sansamp gt2, you will not regret

Chowy Fernandes brought the triac to my studio to record some lessons and it a very good pedal. We recorded connecting the pedal to the line input of the soundcard and we could get very powerful metal sounds. It's also very versatile.

i was thinking about the other ones that emulates just one amp, i guess the sound is better than one with multiple types, but i dk, do you have the GT2?
That's great gab, i will look for chowys lessons, he's a great player too so i guess he thinks a lot about his sound.
This might be the solution for my live sound, finally!

I have one and I get a great variety of sound with it
in this video im using the clean channel of the amp and the gt2, sorry for the bad quality, its a phone cam ^^

However I would like to see you live rocking a JCM800 amp!

I used it a couple times as a plugin with Pro Tools DAW, excellent sounds !
Posted by: Adrian Figallo Aug 23 2011, 10:10 PM
me too man!!, the thing is, i could buy a bunch of pedals + sansamp or, i could buy a jcm + cabinet + a big guy to take it wherever i need to take it...I would love the jcm
Great feedback man, i trust your ears

Their Bass Driver DI pedals are almost must have for gigging/recording bassists so I suppose their other pedals are pretty good as well!

The GT2 is a bit heavier and less versatile than the TRI-AC I think, although ofc it is very versatile.
I've been using the GT2 for recording, band practice and live. It is the one piece of gear I've owned that has never ever let me down in any way.
This guy got a great review:

I like the convenience of it, great small device to take everywhere, not bad at all
but I thought you were not into digital emulation?
Posted by: Adrian Figallo Aug 24 2011, 02:53 AM
You are right dude, bassists all around the world love that pedal, i think im going to go for it

Hey that's a crazy good review, thanks for that link man, im now between the Gt2 and the british.
but I thought you were not into digital emulation?
Well, i prefer the real deal daniel for sure, but it's not so versatile to have an amp, i tried before trust me, sometimes the play is too small, or bad mics, or i just simply can't take it. so i need a light rig to take everywhere, and im not sure aobut guitar rig 4, i think i prefer analogs.
Posted by: Sollesnes Aug 24 2011, 09:02 AM
It's also an analog pedal
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Aug 24 2011, 09:12 AM
Yes, GT2 is what I heard on stage too, it has a character to it, this is very important with these pedals.

I know man!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Aug 25 2011, 07:38 AM
My bass player is using sansamp and he is very very happy about them as for the big guy to carry stuff...it would be ideal to have a crew which takes care of each and everything wouldn't it?
