Signature tones on tap
The Tech 21 Marty Friedman Signature SansAmp gives you Marty’s core clean, dirty, and lead sounds straight out of the box, so dialling in a killer tone is instant. Performance mode keeps your three go-to presets ready for the stage, while Studio mode unlocks up to 128 locations for deeper sessions. It’s a fast, intuitive workflow: set your levels, shape with EQ, hit Save, and you’re ready to record, rehearse, or gig without menu diving
Real amp feel, direct convenience
SansAmp tube amp emulation covers the whole signal path from preamp to power amp to cab sim, so the feel as you play is dynamic and touch responsive. Record direct with convincing mic’d-cab character, feed front-of-house with a polished sound, or run into a power amp and cabs for stage volume. It’s a compact rig that breathes and reacts like an amp, but travels in your gig bag and sets up in seconds
Smart controls that sit in the mix
Drive, Level, and a 3-band active EQ give you broad tonal range, while the Filter is voiced for Marty’s mid character to help parts cut without harshness. Add room-style Reverb for space, and tame noise with the adjustable Gate that cleans smoothly rather than chopping your signal. Every control responds in a linear, musical way, so small tweaks translate immediately and you can fine-tune tones to the room with confidence
Pro connectivity and rugged build
MIDI support handles preset management, the effects loop slots your pedals neatly in line, and you get both low-impedance XLR with Ground Lift and quarter-inch outputs for flexible routing. A built-in tuner keeps things tidy between songs, and the tough metal chassis with silent footswitches is ready for nightly use. With the universal 9V supply and international plugs included, you’re covered for studio days and international gigs alike
