Tech21 YYZ-SH Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp, Shape-Shifter

Geddy Lee YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp
The Geddy Lee MP40 Limited Edition Signature SansAmp sold out so fast, it made our heads spin. Out of respect for the limited number of MP40s featuring custom “Moving Pictures” inspired artwork, we are offering the Geddy Lee YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp. 

The YYZ Shape-shifter SansAmp includes the addition of a selectable Boost stomp switch, providing a 12dB presence boost for increased top-end distortion. Engaging the Shape-shifter button adds 6dB of Schmegilka on top, which, according to Geddy, “is an indefinable thing of awesomeness!”

WITH A BASS AMP RIG
As a Stomp Box: Run the 1/4” Output into the front input of an amp or incorporate into your pedalboard chain.

TO DRIVE A POWER AMP
Run the 1/4” Output of the YYZ Shape-shifter into the input of a power amp and adjust your stage volume with the Level control of the YYZ Shape-shifter.

TO RECORD DIRECT
You can plug directly into the input of a mixer/recorder and use the on-board sounds of the YYZ Shape-shifter. Bear in mind full-range systems yield a wide frequency response. Therefore, we suggest you start with the EQ levels of the YYZ Shape-shifter at 12 o’clock and increase/decrease to taste.

BE CREATIVE!
The YYZ Shape-shifter is not necessarily just for bass. Try it with cellos, keyboards, fiddle, drums, sax, harmonica, vocals, etc. Also try using the YYZ Shape-shifter in other applications, such as reamping in mixdowns to liven up existing tracks.

• All analog SansAmp technology enables you to record directly and enhance previously recorded tracks. For live performances, the YYZ Shape-shifter can drive a power amp and speakers, augment your existing amplifier set-up, or run directly into the mixer of a PA system.
• Mix control to blend the ratio of high-end studio clean (Deep) and dirty bass tube amp tones (Drive).
• Tight button to add definition to your notes in cleaner settings and make distorted tones snappier.
• Boost / Shape-shifter selectable Boost function deviates from the norm. It provides a 12dB presence boost for increased top-end distortion. Kick in the Shape-shifter button, and get 6dB of Schmegilka on top, which, according to Geddy “is an indefinable thing of awesomeness!”
• Drive adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section of a tube amp is being pushed.
• Active 3-band EQ
• Master volume
• BUILT-IN SPEAKER/CAB SIM: The 100% analog SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation technology encompasses the entire signal chain, from pre-amp to power amp to speaker simulation. An integral part of the circuitry, the SansAmp speaker simulation will complement any type of guitar or bass speaker cabinet system. You can also place an external IR after a SansAmp to give additional flavor if you so desire. The SansAmp speaker sim is designed and individually tailored for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multiply-miked cabinet –without peaks, valleys, and notches associated with single miking and many IRs.

• Measures 3.75″ x 4.75″ x 2″
• Operable with 9V alkaline battery (not included).
• Optional DC power supply is available: Tech 21 model #DC9.
