Tech 21 SansAmp Geddy Lee Signature YYZ Shape-Shifter Bass Effect Pedal

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. It has the same color scheme and graphics as Geddy’s other Signature SansAmps (GED-2112 rackmount, DI-2112 desk-top, and YYZ single footswitch pedal), with the same features and functionality of the MP40.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!”

From a Backline of Amps, Speakers and Major Household Appliances to a Full Line of Amazing Products.

In 1996, Geddy Lee began performing without onstage amps and speakers, favoring major household appliances instead. He relied on an intricate system of off-stage gear, which included the SansAmp RBI and/or SansAmp RPM. After the R40 tour, Geddy wanted to streamline his gear for new projects and partnered with Tech 21 to design a Signature SansAmp, the GED-2112. This challenging collaboration involved distilling a rackload of equipment into a single rackspace. According to Geddy, “The GED-2112 is really a continuation of my long-time approach to bass tone. A ‘deep clean’ tone coupled with the ‘edgy crunch’ I get from the SansAmp RPM now all in one box.”

The GED-2112 rackmount design introduced a new framework for Parallel Pre-Amping –having two separate internal pre-amps that run in parallel. Following this concept, the compact YYZ SansAmp pedal adapted the architectural structure to simplify blending the two signal paths. Merging the design of the rackmount and the portability of the pedal, the DI-2112 SansAmp offers yet another format designed to be equally at home on a studio desktop as well as an amp top.

No matter which Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp you choose, each offers Geddy’s core sound and the versatility for many different styles.
