- The SANSAMP GT2 transforms your amp into many different classic tones like fender, marshall, and mesa style amps. Check it out this review with the tones of a Gibson SG & GEAR UP!!! Thanks for Watching, TMNtv
Boys and Girls, I have this pedal, first I also thought that it sounded crap because I could not set the mids, but now I know how: If you lower the highs and the lows, the mids come out, you just need to compensate by raising the volume a bit. Another thing: I found that this pedal sounds better in front of an amp, if you want to go direct to PA, rather go for the TRI AC because it sounds better via P.A. and for direct recording but sounds worse in front of an amp. The TRI AC also has a mid knob and this is important when going dirtect to the P.A: So in short: GT2 is better as a drive pedal in front of an amp, the TRI AC is better for going direct to a PA and for recording. Hope this helps someone.
Tibor Risko Does it sound good in front of solid state amps as well?
Yes, in my opinion this sounds better in front of solid states amps than Tube amplifiers. Sounds good on both, its just my taste , great pedal
Years ago this was pretty much my only pedal in one gig with Peavey 30. The Marshall setting sounded phenomenal in front of the clean amp.
Great pedal, love mine...I just got the Blonde original in mint condition too...Tech 21 rock n roll...
Well made video. No unneeded jibber jabber and covered all aspects of tone that I needed.
I've had mine for 20 years. It's all you need. I've never look for another distortion pedal since I've owned it.
i have a vox ac15c1 will it change to complete tonality of the amp?
Kelsey Benskin If you run it into the effects loop then it will. If you run it in front of the amp as a stomp box then not entirely as you will still have the preamp shaping the tone too before it goes to the power amp.
i've owned this pedal for about 6 years and it's perfect for emulating a classic tube amp sound. this demo doesn't do it any justice. i use it mainly for recording and when i don't want to or can't bring my amp, connecting it directly to a pa. it may not be as versatile as modern modeling devices, but the sound is just great.
I agree it’s nice and raw sounding. Do you carry a stick next to you to change all the tones?
Or wear really pointy boots? Just wondering.
well, i'm sold! you can definitely hear the MESA influence on the signal though. would love to hear a demo sent into a clean D.I.
Holy crap! This thing is badass. I had no idea. I passed on a used one for $40. Boy do I feel like an ass. Damn.
I have one of these and its actually quite hard to make it sound this shit normally! I just go straight into the clean channel of my Laney and use the Brit setting and it totally rocks.
The scooped mids phenomenon was something that came way after the 80's, but I share your sentiment all the same.
I thought the purpose of this pedal was to be used without an amp. “Sans” means “without” in French. I was hoping this demo would demonstrate sounds when going straight through to a mixer / PA system without the need for an amp.
It would be good to see such a demo.
I agree. I don't think the tone and playing on this demo does it any justice. I don't own the SansAmp, but I have the Behringer V-Tone GDI 21, which is similar(but less expensive) and kicks ass, for me. I don't even use an amp at home anymore, just that, a mixer, and headphones. I have always heard good things about the SansAmp units, but it's important to try things out in person.. Then you'll get a real feel for what they can do. Sometimes too much gets lost over the UA-cam anyway.
power chords! use power chords! and use the bridge pick up!
I can attest, it does sound good- you just gotta dial it in. I use this in front a simple Fender Twin '68; the Classic/Hi-Gain/British setting gives you nice gritty crunch- I find it helps to roll off the drive a bit; it really cuts through a bit more & is very controllable. Same setting but drop it down to Tweed mode & you get a nice clean on the verge up breaking up sorta sound. Really depends on what your using with it, but I've come to really dig it. And it's got a 12ax7 in it which really gives it a bit more bite. I agree with some of the comments though; some of the settings in this demo may not be a great 1st impression (no offense to the player in the video), but just saying, it is quite versatile, & after playing with it, you'll start to see what works.
+shockcityrocker Agreed. Gotta tame that urge to crank the gain. I track metal direct with this and I'm still never going above 12:00 on the "drive" knob on the "high gain" with either the BRIT or CALI setting.
Aaaah your sansamp has a 12ax7 tube in it! Very interesting. where did they hide it?? Can not find it! And this demo is spot on. The most shitty sounding pedal in the world! And it sounds just like the demo! If you can not hear this you better go to a ear doctor.

Oh please why doesn't anyone shows how it's reacting with the knob on the guitar, people don't use it nowadays ??
5 years later... It cleans up nicely, pretty much exactly like a tube amp.
I'm so very happy with this review! I can see in your expression that you do not believe your ears either. Very bad sound from this pedal. Earpiercing high frequencies. What ever you do with the nobs. Earpiercing High Frequenties. I have the Behringer copy of this pedal and it sounds the same shit!! You damage your ears with this trebly sound. Is no one here below hearing this?? I thought that it was my pedal or my guitar or my amp or me! But no, just a very bad circuit.
The only way to tame that bloody high freq. is a partial make over. I did it and I am very happy with it now.
ok, now put the mesa boogie at side, and try to use a 20w cube-amp to show us how gt2 pedal works...
Honestly, we can hear only mesa boogie...
@1325ACO IMHO, you could get good sounds that way, but u might have 2 do some careful tweaking of yr bass amp and this. But yeah, if u want to escape having 2 shell out 4 a Marshall rig, this wouldn't be AS good, but in the end you'd be fine with this. And ALL Tech 21 amp sim pedals are GREAT 4 bass, no worries on that.
And the California mode?

This pedal is awesome.
Use it like an amp
Put your TB or OD infront of it
Put your eq after it and your sorted...
Check out Steve Hacketts pedal board.
He’s had this pedal on his board for over 20 years...
What's the point of playing it in to a mesa? It'll always sound like a mesa.
Now play it into a pa or frfr setup and you'll really see what it can do.
Clues in the name. Sans (sans means without) amp!
Playing it into a guitar amp really isn't it's purpose. Although to be fair it's does make a decent dirt pedal
I'm happy with my Vox stomplab that comes with a variety of cab sim and amp sim. No need to buy this expensive thing.
sae daeee seco
Sounds like shit in front of an amp. Better into a PA or for DI recording
Plug guitar into gt2
Gy2 into fx return and enjoy...
This video is set up wrong...
Guy didn’t reD the manual
Harsh and brutal.. what a mess
Co to za badziewie??? Bardzo okropne brzmi.
