Tech 21’s groundbreaking SansAmp, the innovation of electronics whiz Andrew Barta, was first sold in 1989. Its core idea was and remains that it enables the user to emulate an amp and cab while requiring neither, instead sending a signal to a recording desk, a PA, or in modern times, a computer soundcard. 

It’s been widely supported in our world, with varying models assigned to celebrity bassists, and a portable version, the Bass Fly Rig, which was first manufactured in 2014. This v2 version of the product offers bassists a few new options in addition to its primary function – to offer the SansAmp technology in a highly portable unit.
