I’m selling a Tech 21 SansAmp PSA-1, a true classic studio and live preamp. This iconic unit works equally well with guitar and bass. Its huge tonal range, full programmability, and distinctive analog bite have made the PSA-1 a long-time standard in professional studios and on major stages.
The unit is fully functional and used, in good cosmetic condition. The display, knobs, and buttons all work perfectly.
Special note:
The unit contains original bass presets from the band Decapitated, used as a tonal starting point for the album Organic Hallucinosis. A unique item for fans of extreme metal, producers, and bass players looking for an ultra-heavy, tight, and precise sound.
Who has used the SansAmp PSA-1?
This preamp has been used by many top musicians and engineers, including:
- Geddy Lee (Rush) – PSA-1 has been part of his bass rig for years
- Alex Lifeson (Rush)
- Faith No More
- Nine Inch Nails
- Cannibal Corpse (guitar and bass production in various periods)
- Tool (used in the studio on certain guitar layers)
This is a preamp with a well-earned reputation for professional, powerful, and extremely versatile tones.
Features:
- Fully programmable
- Controls: Pre-Amp / Buzz / Punch / Crunch / Drive / Low / High / Level
