Tech 21 SansAmp 20th Anniversary Limited Edition PARA DRIVER DI

Limited Edition Craftsmanship

Strictly limited to just 500 units worldwide, this anniversary edition is a stunning departure from the standard housing. It features a distinctive anodized, precision-machined aluminum billet housing in a sleek Anniversary Silver finish, topped with custom all-metal knobs. It’s not just a utility tool; it’s a piece of Tech 21 history designed to withstand the rigors of the road while looking like a high-end studio piece.

The Ultimate Multi-Instrument Solution

While many SansAmps are specialized for bass or electric guitar, the Para Driver DI is the "Swiss Army Knife" of the lineup. Its 100% analog circuitry is engineered to bring out the best in virtually any instrument:

• Acoustic & Orchestral: Eliminates the "quack" and unnatural harmonics of piezo pickups in acoustic guitars, upright basses, violins, cellos, and mandolins.
• Electric Guitar & Bass: Dials in everything from vintage tube warmth and modern slap tones to gnarly, overdriven textures.
• The "V2" Advantage: This edition includes the Version 2 upgrades—a Rumble Filter to remove muddy sub-sonic frequencies and an Air switch to add top-end sparkle and clarity.

Precision Tone Shaping

At the heart of the Para Driver DI is Tech 21’s proprietary tube amplifier emulation technology, covering the entire signal chain from preamp to speaker simulation.

• Sweepable Semi-Parametric EQ: The "Mid Shift" and "Mid" controls allow you to target specific frequencies between 160Hz and 3.0kHz, giving you surgical control over your instrument’s character.
• Blend Control: Mix the amount of SansAmp tube emulation with your direct, unaffected instrument signal for the perfect balance of grit and transparency.
• Active Tone Controls: Boost or cut Bass and Treble by ±12dB for instant broad-stroke adjustments.

Professional Connectivity

Whether you’re heading to a recording desk, a PA mixer, or a power amp, the Para Driver DI has you covered:

• Triple Outputs: Includes a 1/4" output, an XLR output (with selectable levels), and a Parallel (uneffected) output to run a dry signal to a separate channel.
• Flexible Power: Run it via a 9V battery, optional DC power supply, or Phantom Power through the XLR output for a cable-free stage setup.
