Members Computicus Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 There probably aren't too many of these (the original, the limited edition or the re-release) floating around here, but does anyone know if does low gain toanz well?

Members goodhonk Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 it does. there are better pedals for that though. are you going direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Computicus Posted November 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 Nope, it'll be at the beginning of my chain. I should specify that this is a bass quest.I've heard a lot of Talkbass cats raving about the Hardwire CM-2 for this kind of bass thing, but i prefer the gain structure of the Classic.

Members Texas Noise Factory Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 I used to love mine before it {censored} the bed. It was a great tool for tone shaping both live, and in the studio. I used it for bass quite a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 its a great pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reauchambeau Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have an original, I'm a bass player. it has a bass setting and allows a lot of tone shaping, you will definitely need an eq to add some bottom end because it's lean in that department.

I was afraid of that. {censored}e. I play flatwounds too so i've got a lot of lows by default. Maybe i'll check out the CM-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Texas Noise Factory Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 Just got a line on one of the OG SansAmp Classics locally that looks really clean. It has the box, power supply, and the manual too. Is $175 a decent price for one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 Price is ok. Be careful, I believe the reissue is called "the classic" and some guys sell theirs as the first run not knowing any better.I sold a very clean genuine first run for $300+ last year.

Members Texas Noise Factory Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 Nice! I hope it goes smoothly. I really miss my old one, and was excited when this popped up close by. Thanks for the tip on identifying the reissue. The guy says his hasn't been used in years, so taking it at face value, it's probably legit.

Members goodhonk Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 here's the one i sold. i believe the reissue will say classic on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones that I see on eBay don't have markings on the face next to the power plug that say "DC". The older ones listed don't say "classic" on them. The one I'm looking at has the "DC" markings, but also has the "classic" label... Maybe a later issue of the original? I don't necessarily have to have the original first issue, I just don't want to get screwed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Texas Noise Factory Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 The one I'm looking at looks like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that's some new reissue that looks exactly the same? Well, I think the one I'm looking at is a reissue that happened earlier than the current issue that's currently available. Look at the new version. It doesn't have "DC" next to the power jack. Plus it's quite a bit more expensive to buy new. Thus my conundrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny really... The one I used to have died after about 10 years of heavy use. That was about 5 years ago. I bought it used back in the day for probably 60 bucks or so. I just really connected with it using it to demo songs for my band, and it was easy to get a sound with it that I really liked. Nowadays, they go for stupid money probably cuz Kurt Cobain used one. I really have a problem with re-buying pedals for stupid money that I used to have and had bought for nothing... Oh well though. I miss it. I really can't blame Tech 21 though. It makes business sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AXEL276 Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 Not a bass player but and avid fan of the Sansamp Classic. I got mine way back when the company (Tech21) just started. Here's a clip recorded (all instruments direct) using the original SA Classic.Yes I know in the Tonefinder description it says Marshall JVM. They make you fill in some info before you can post and Sansamp wasn't and option. One of my other amps is a JVM.http://www.tonefinder.com/index.php?...id&value=12159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trick Fall Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 I think they were always kind of pricey (but a good value for what they are) so relatively speaking I don't think the new ones are more expensive. i also don't recall them ever actually goingout of production, but I could be wrong on that. Also 60 bucks for one even back in the day was a screaming deal. I've had my eye out for one since the early nineties and I think the cheapest I've ever seen was 175.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzio Posted December 8, 2012 Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 I think it only sounded good in low gain settings. The fender mode. Very touch sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
