Tech 21

Andrew Barta, Tech 21 mastermind, was a performing musician with an electronics background. His ‘day job’ was repairing, modifying and customizing amplifiers, and in the late ‘80s, he developed the now-legendary SansAmp. This piece of equipment came from Andrew’s desire for top-notch, punchy bass tones that went straight into a PA or desk; something that no one had done before.

The 100% analog SansAmp bass preamp now allowed bass players to tweak their sound with minimal effort and via a compact, robust enclosure! When bass players heard what this thing could do, it became an instant hit and catapulted Tech 21 to the forefront of the gear world.

Nowadays, they continually strive to offer player-friendly, truly useful, flexible, multi-functional, roadworthy, workhorse products. Although they’ve since branched out into amplification and effects, their core line has remained the same since their inception – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

We’re proud to offer a great selection of Tech 21 gear here at Andertons Music Co! This includes everything from their feature-packed bass amps, switching systems, effects pedals and of course the SansAmp Preamp. Check out our full selection below!
