The Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 Tube Amp Emulator costs less than the original Sans Amp, and it's easier to set up. So they compromised on sound quality, right? Not as far as we can tell! GT2 purrs and screams with the same kind of fat, warm, glowing-glass sounds heard in the original, but cost-effective manufacturing brought the price down. You select amp type, modification, and mic placement. Find the tone you want using high and low EQ, set your level, dial up distortion with the drive knob, then hit the "on" switch. The Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 is a truckload of tube amps in just one pedal!

this thing is the bomb! i got it about a month ago and it has improved my overall tone on and off stage. no matter what kind of amp you have, this little "god box" as my bassist and i have one (he has a different model for bass) can make tones form anything from blues to the heaviest metal you can think of.

This pedal is great when using in front of a tube amp. It's ok to run through a system without a guitar amp as well, but the clean side suffers. This thing really does a good job emulating different sounds, but it's hard to get light distortion to sound good. Heavy distortion sounds great, and the clean side is great, it suffers somewhat in the middle.

If you get this pedal you WILL need some kind of noise gate, especially on the distortion side. The hum is extremely loud without a noise gate. A Boss NS-2 solves the problem.

I've used this pedal a lot....... I mean alot. Gig after gig after gig. You can dial up almost any tone. The best part is it's analog. People forget what that sounds like and smells like in the digital world. Put this in front of a tube amp and it's butter. I will say I do have to replace the switch once a year but the people at tech 21 are very nice about it.

I bought one used back in 1995. It continues to provide outstanding tweed tone and clarity through my tube amp. I've tried all kinds of effects as well as the Digitech stuff and none can provide a clear tone like the GT-2. Great for blues. Only problem was getting to the battery which it ate pretty fast. I wish it had a battery cover access.

I just got this pedal and al I can say is for the value I am truly impressed. The "tweed" setting is all vintage fender, which is a blues player's dream. When it comes to rock hit the "California" setting, which is made to sound like a Boogie. The distortion on the Boogie setting is absolutely what I was looking for. This is by far the best pedal I have ever purchased.
