Tech 21 TRI-A.C.
3-Channel Programmable Stomp Box

Tech 21 TRI-A.C. 3-Channel Programmable Stomp Box

SansAmp TRI-A.C. is a 3-channel programmable stomp box with three independent footswitches. It combines the warmth of a 100% analog signal path with the convenience of digital programmability. It just doesn't get more fun than this.

You can dance the night away--to the music, not the gear. Whether you sway, twirl, rock, groove or mosh, SansAmp TRI-A.C. won't get in the way of your creative flow. Put your three favorite tones, from sparkling clean to full metal mayhem, right at your feet.

It just doesn't get much easier than this. There are no complex mathematical equations or foreign languages to learn. Dial up the setting you like, double click on the footswitch, and it's saved in that channel. When you stomp on a channel, the setting is right there. Instantaneously. You can make changes on the fly, at the gig, even during your performance, without needing the owner's manual. And, from any of the three channels, you can go to bypass mode. Whichever channel you're already in, just hit that channel's footswitch once, and you're in bypass.

It just doesn't sound any better than this.

SansAmp TRI-A.C. features Tech 21's highly-acclaimed proprietary analog circuitry that captures the rich, natural harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers. Its built-in speaker emulation encompasses all aspects of mutiply-miked tube amp rigs. When you select one of the 3 pre-voiced amp styles, every dimension of each individual personality changes. It is not merely a difference in EQ or gain structure.

TWEED = FenderŽ-style BRITISH = MarshallŽ-style CALIFORNIA = Mesa/BoogieŽ-style Each amplifier type has its own tonality and its own input sensitivity. Each interacts differently to the dynamics of your playing style and to the signal level of the instrument. For optimum flexibility and customization, other controls include on-board, 3-band active EQ, Drive and Level. Travel heavy or light.

While you upgrade your sound, you can downsize your arsenal. Or not. You get to decide how much gear you want to carry around. SansAmp TRI-A.C. gives you a solid foundation of tone that is compatible with any amp/combo, or you can:

Use a SansAmp TRI-A.C. to drive a power amp and speaker cabinet(s). Go to a gig with a SansAmp TRI-A.C. and a Power Engine 60 (see optional accessories below) and run directly through the house P.A. system. Float into any club or studio with just a SansAmp TRI-A.C. and plug directly into the board. Compact and heavy duty. While larger than our other SansAmp pedals, it still fits in a gig bag. Actual size is 7.25"l x 5"w x 1.5"h (2"h overall).
