The goal for Tech 21 was to embody his tone in a neat, compact, plug-and-play footprint. Marty’s focus is always on the music taking the spotlight rather than complex gear with distracting bells and whistles or requiring a cumbersome learning curve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Helvetica\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black\"\u003eThe Marty Friedman programmable Signature SansAmp comes preset with his main clean, dirty and lead tones. Operationally similar to the SansAmp PSA 2.0, there are two modes:  Performance mode to have your 3 main presets at the ready and Studio mode for up to 128 locations for custom presets. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStoring and recalling programs is simple. You don’t need any special training or a degree in physics to operate your unit. The rotation of each control increases and decreases in a smooth, gradual, linear fashion, so when you turn a knob, you hear the difference immediately –in real time. You just set your tones and push the Save button. Yeah, it’s that easy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn the studio, you can record direct, enhance existing tracks in mixdowns, as well as add interesting touches to any instrument. Live, the Marty Friedman Signature SansAmp can be used as a pre-amp direct into a power amp with speaker cabinets, as a “monster direct box” to a P.A. system (or both simultaneously), and as an outboard processor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eControls include Reverb, 3-band active EQ, Drive and Level. There’s also an adjustable Gate that dynamically and smoothly cleans up the signal, rather than cutting it off abruptly. Filter alters the tonality by manipulating the mid-range and is specifically voiced for Marty’s unique sound.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs is the case with all of our signature artist gear, the Marty Friedman Signature SansAmp offers Marty’s core sounds and the versatility for many different styles.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSays Marty, “This is it! This pedal has been in the works for a long time and only an exceptional design engineer like Andrew Barta could make something with these beautiful tones so incredibly simple to use.

The inventor of the SansAmp tube amplifier emulation technology, which debuted in 1989, Barta has remained loyal to the analog domain.

It lacks dynamics and responsiveness. It sounds one-dimensional and it isn’t touch-sensitive, so the nuances of your playing style get lost. It limits your ability to change the tone by using your volume knob, picking lighter or harder. No matter how hard you hit the strings, the result is mostly the same. There’s no headroom and it doesn’t breathe. You are forced go to a different patch for a different tone. Ultimately, you have to conform to the device and play in a different way. So your artistic expression suffers. Artists have told me it’s like being in a cage. You have to wrestle harder to squeeze out the results and their fingers get really tired.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-63d7643\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-id=\"63d7643\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-166b1c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"166b1c3\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Whatever device you’re using, be it an amp or SansAmp or modeler, it’s really a part of your instrument. Your instrument actually consists of the entire signal chain, not just the guitar. Digital is just a numeric translation and isn’t capable of preserving the individual personality of the guitar you use. The output is pretty much the same whether it’s a Fender or Gibson or Ric.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJust as the original SansAmp was a personal mission to encapsulate tube amplifier sounds in a compact, portable pedal, Barta has long been on a quest to do the same in the digital domain.
