Classic SansAmp Tone Goes Digital with New Plugin from Tech 21 and Audiopunks
Audiopunks and Tech 21 NYC have partnered up to announce the SansAmp Rack plugin, which puts the company’s flagship circuitry into a digital format. The new plugin offers exact emulations of the SansAmp Classic dip-switch pedal and the SansAmp PSA-1 rack unit. Each unit’s all-analog tone paths were modeled in detail, Tech 21 states alongside the effect descriptions.
“The SansAmp Classic. Tech 21’s original all-analog tube amp emulator in a pedal format introduced in 1989. It uniquely features a bank of 8 dip switches and four rotary controls for sophisticated tone shaping –from subtle cleans to aggressive distortion,” they write. “The SansAmp PSA-1 is a programmable rackmount with an all-analog signal path, introduced in 1993. It is known for its flexibility and powerful tone-shaping controls: Buzz for low-end saturation, Punch for mid-range overdrive, and Crunch for upper harmonics and pick attack, plus overall Drive. It’s been used on thousands upon thousands of records for a multitude of instruments.”
The plugin boasts zero latency and anti-aliasing as well flexible mix and output routing for your DAW. Check out this quick overview with Tchad Blake.
The Audiopunks Tech 21 SansAmp Rack plugin is available now with an introductory price of $79 until July 31st. A free trial is available on the website.
