Tech 21 NYC

Tech 21 NYC, founded in 1989 by Andrew Barta in New York City, revolutionized guitar amplification with the introduction of the SansAmp, an analog preamp pedal that emulates classic tube amplifier tones. This innovation allowed musicians to achieve high-quality sounds without the need for traditional amplifiers, paving the way for direct recording and live performance setups. Tech 21 continues to produce a range of analog-driven products, including the Fly Rig series and signature models for artists like Geddy Lee and Richie Kotzen, all crafted in the USA.
