Review by a visitor on 6.10.2005




I got it second hand from a friend, paid almost half of its cost.

 
 
  Features  
 
This thing is the most powerful fx in my gig bag, I couldnnullt gig/jam without this thing.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
I can get any distortion sound I want in this box, from old blues to shred of the 80nulls to early 90nulls to present! Every guitarist should have one!!
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Donnullt have problem with noise, every high gain distortion pedal has it, and I can tweak it so it would hiss less, no problems whatsoever.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Very reliable, built like a tank and a very durable footswitch you can stomp to.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
When you buy this pedal, you wouldnnullt buy any distortion pedal anymore! ...and yes, why would we bother collecting lots of distortion pedals when we can just have this
one. BTW Tech21nulls amp are awesome too, Inullve tried them and I got impressed by itnulls sound. For pure analog sound, tech21 is the BEST!

I bought my GT2 at JB PRO MUSIC in Fort Erie Ont. about 2 years ago for $225.00 used.

 
 
  Features  
 
This unassuming pedal is unbelievably versatile in any setting.I have used it live,direct into the board live and in recording sessions.The only flaws I can find is that the adapter input is in a bad spot and the clean is a little too agressive for my taste.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
I can get just about any tone I desire out of it.I put it in front of my Peavey 5150 and couldn`t tell the difference.I carry it everywhere as a backup for my amp.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The thing is built like a tank.It does however get a little noisy at high gain settings,but what piece of gear dosen`t?A little bit of noise gate adjustment and the problem is fixed.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
It bleeds reliability.Even if the settings have been moved from gig to gig,it still sounds great and I`ll end up keeping that tone for the night!
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I love this piece of gear.In the future I`d like to see this company branch out into other effects as I am confident in the quality of anything with their name on it.

I bought it in Tom Lee Music Store in Hong Kong!!!! It cost me HK$1300
about... US$185... so its expensive yes!!! tech 21nulls effex are so exp.

 
 
  Features  
 
its a black box... bigger than ur average boss effect. it has a input, output, dc power supply (sold separately), a drive, level, high, low knobs!!! this is a GREAT DISTORTION EFFECT!!! get the metalzone for example... amplify it 5x younullll get the maxed out GT2! another good point of the GT2 is its a pre amp.. and ur sound in one gig is the same in another... you can set ur amp style from a fender, marshall or mesa-boogie amp... or ur dist. (normal, hi-gain, hot wired) and u have a mic setting how you would like ur amp to sound... ( classic, centered, or off axis)!!! this effect is so NICE, you can get any crunch you want... as long as you know how to tame the beast... SansAmp GT2 is a beast... u just have to know how to measure its range! the only problem here is price... but i think its WORTH IT!!! nothing compares to this
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
its easY!!!! it burns all distortions!
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The Sound is so lovely.... when you see two knobs of high and low... ull think how do i boost my mid range!? right!? well with the right tweaking and the right setting mid range can be boomed!!!
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
its durable!! reliable!!! no frequent adjusting!!! it just consumes stronger on the 9V but what is the adaptor for!!??
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
its the only distortion you need!!! no boosters or anything.. just plain CRUNCH!!!!
