Well mini-gas attack. Bought a Behringer GT-21, which is a rip off of the Sanamp thingy. £26, so worth a punt. Used it for all the guitars (bass and guitars). The distortion is okay - but not brill, so fronted it with the tone-bone (tube, Plexi) for distortion, and Boss Compressor for the clean sound. Bass is straight through using clean fender emulation. This is an analogue pedal, so interesting. Pretty pleased with the sounds.

Holy crap Mr B - you play some mean guitar! All sounded fab to me, but really loved the clean tone in the last minute or so! Superb fella

WOW - well played. This is so tight.
JOA
Wow!! this is a light the fuse and stand well back track...that guitar is on fire......love it ooooh Yeah!!!!! said very loudly.....love it!! ...love it!! ...love it!! ...love it!! ...love it!! ...love it!! ...love it!! ;D
Thanks guys - appreciate the comments. I probably need to explain though. This is a bit of an experiment. This device emulates amps, but is not digitally modelled but analogue. The Sansamp devices costs around £170 upwards - Behringer ripped off the circuit and built it for £26. Wanted to see if they were any good, £26 didn't seem so bad for a punt. There are no amps in this recording, just the GT-21 straight into the recorder. You can dial in different amps and mike placements, it has inbuilt distortion, but I wasn't too impressed by the distortions, so simply using it as a clean amp, and fronting with distortion boxes (just like an amp) - this is the end result. I really like the way the bass sounds, I've never managed to get a really meaty sound before.
I've ordered the AD-21, which is the equivalent acoustic pre-amp modeller (all analogue again), and the BD-21, which is the bass amp equiv. Suffering with GAS :-)

You are a monster brother...a monster of rock!!!! This might find it's way onto my mbr this week!
Rock on!
Good guitar tones Bruno and the the bass tone is so full and meaty! The combo of the bass and guitar tones reminds me a little of ZZ Top's sound. I have a SansAmp GT2 and the controls on the Beri GD21 look and are labeled almost identical to it. Nice buy for money!

Bruno this pedale was made for you. Great playing and sound !
Great sounding for sure,
It seems Behringer is good for ripping off good sounds!!!
Super excellent guitar playing too... apart from gear used, it 's the reason why all that sounding so good for our ears!!!

Nice playing and nice sounds. I shelled out for the Sansamp version years ago, and while I don't break it out regularly, it has a great up front sound. I'm thinking you scored with the value of this Behringer in a big way.
Excellent playing, by the by.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys.
Am feeling somewhat guilty, as Behringer are a bit of a rip off merchants, and I do prefer to support small niche suppliers generally. I saw some second hand Sansamps, but by the time I was going to buy, they'd gone. £170 seemed a bit excessive new, particularly if they didn't cut the mustard after you had a play.
So I went all out and ordered a GDI-21 (guitar), BDI-21 (bass) and ADI-21 (Acoustic). Am still waiting for the bass one. Recorded the acoustic with the ADI-21, recorded with a sound hole Fishman and a separate valve mike and I'm going to have to listen again, but I'm quite stunned by the results. All the pedals were £26 each on Amazon!!! 3 pedals for 1/2 the cost of one Sansamp, hmm.
Am interested on the results from the Sansamp to compare - the results I've got so far, far exceed the sounds on the typical youtube review - so interested in any Sansamp recording, to see if I need to take the next step - or stick where I'm at.

Hi Bruno, a minor gas attack but a major piece of playing. Love it..........Willie
Oh yeah! Found this beauty while dredging this morning ....superb!
bloody hell Bruno...yes...as Hook said...you are a guitar monster... and then you go into this clean jazzy thing? wow....
as for me worrying about Behringer doing this or that.... I figure that is what courts are for...to decide stuff like this... so my conscience is clear... I buy quite a bit of Behringer stuff...
but i hear you because i boycott Amazon because I am not a fan of the way they treat their employees and a few other reasons pertaining to other business things...so I guess we all have our causes....lol
back to the song... I think it's cool that you found new gadgets that motivated you to play this...yes the tones are brutal...
hope you still dig them... I have essentially one guitar multi controller...the Boss ME-25... and then I also use the stuff inside the BR1600....cuz I don't like fiddling that much...
I prefer to plug, press and play...but yes it is cool to find something you really dig....glad this got bumped...
listening now for the 3rd time...and download.....
I didn't realise this was an old post until I read the other comments. I'm glad it's been reposted. What a brilliant bluesy rock track. You are a great guitarist. I loved all the tones on this, the clean guitar at the end was fab. :)
