British rock tones in a versatile, easily-controlled pedal.

The legendary crunch of British steel and Greenback-style speakers delivers searing blues to UK anarchy from this Anglo-voiced Tech 21 distortion effect pedal. Tough Bluesbreaker overdrive, the throaty roar of a Plexi or the ballsy smack-down of a '70s Metalface, it all adds up to a well tasty spot in your face, Brit-style. However you choose to build your stack of tone, the British guitar pedal makes for serious rockin' out.

Each effect pedal in the Character Series is loaded with the tonal DNA for a specific style of guitar amplifier. By simply twisting a few knobs, you can build those sought-after tones or hot rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation is delivered in the distinctive voicing of that amp style. The intuitive amp-like controls let you get your hands dirty from the get-go to explore decades of blistering tones.

Being a genuine SansAmp, the CS-BR and each Character Series pedal is way more than a stompbox. Each can be used as a stand-alone preamp to drive a power amp, a studio mixer, or a PA system, with the rich SansAmp cabinet emulation that sounds huge even straight into a computer soundcard. Or plug them into your guitar amp to take your tone somewhere special.

Reviewer's Background: Guitar and Bass player since mid 70's

Reviewer's Play Style: Classic Rock

Great overdrive pedal. Takes my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe to another galaxy. Tweak the knobs (example settings are given) to get an overdriven Marshall stack : AC/DC to EVH, it's in there. Can also sound like a Hiwatt stack too (Cheap Trick). Fat! I've used the SansAmp for my bass rig for many years and have always been happy with the ump it gives me. This British pedal is just as powerful. If your looking for a classic rock overdrive pedal this one will get 'er done!

I am a sound engineer/guitarist, work Live and Studio, I have been playing for 20 years. I have had all line 6 products, own a vox, fender amps. There is nothing better to go direct into a board or computer interface. Natural, warm , fat tone....you can have the knobs in any position and it sounds amazing! Built quality is incredible....this is as close to real tube amp as you can get.
