TECH 21, THE COMPANY
LANDMARK BASS SERIES, AN OVERVIEW
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;
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.
as well as “traditional” style amplifiers for guitar and bass. Each
The 100% analog Landmark Bass Amplifier Series reconfigures the preamp
format of our exceptionally popular SansAmp Bass Driver DI pedal into selfcontained head and combo amplifiers in various wattages. These configurations also offer you an entire sound spectrum of the most coveted traditional
and modern bass amp systems, including mega overdriven tones that usually
require a complex mass of gear --most of which weren’t designed for bass in
the first place.
Each Landmark bass amp delivers a truckload of professional bass rigs from
one source. Each offers such styles as Fender®,SVT®, King Crimson and
King’s X, to name a few --and does so even at low volume. The interactive
controls give you access to specific tone shaping characteristics to create
your own custom sounds as well.
For studio and live applications, our SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation
technology enables you to go straight into the mixer of a recorder or PA
system via the XLR Direct Output.
As is typical with all Tech 21 products, the Landmark 120 is a versatile,
multi-functional, super cost-effective package suitable for any player’s
repertoire.
