Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 Review

Sound Quality

This is an analogue amp modelling pedal. It has 3 different amp models which loosely approximate a fender twin, Marshall JCM and mesa triple rectifiers. In addition each amp model has 3 mic placement options and 3 wiring options (normal, hot-wired and OT) which each have increasing levels of gain. In addition there is level, bass, treble and drive controls.

The unit sounds fantastic and is the heaviest pedal I've ever heard. It gets an absolutely mammoth distortion sound that you'd swear was from monster stack. Very configurable I essentially use mine as a distortion pedal but by dialling down the gain this pedal can also be used as a preamp.

Build Quality

Really rugged, its a solid black metal square. You could use it as a bomb shelter.
