(Click for a close-up)

A two channel bass amp head, the Landmark 300 is a 2-rackspace, 300-watt version of its predecessor, the Landmark 600. It offers the same vintage and modern tube amp sounds, as well as a variety of overdriven tones. The interactive controls give you access to specific tone shaping characteristics to create your own custom sounds as well.

Features include a 10dB gain boost to set up the pre-amp for different style pickups, active tone controls, and sweepable, semi-parametric EQ. Channel 1 includes Drive, Bass, Presence, Blend, Treble and Level controls, consistent with the design of Tech 21's famed SansAmp Bass Driver DI. Channel 2 offers Drive, Bass, Mid, Mid Shift, Treble and Level controls. For studio and live applications, Tech 21's proprietary SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation technology enables you to go straight into the mixer of a recorder or PA system via the XLR Direct Output. Other features include effects loop, tuner output, /4" speaker outputs, and included rackmount kit.
