Tech 21 Sansamp Character Plus Fuzzy Brit Overdrive Pedal

The original SansAmp Character Series was introduced in 2008. These pedals commemorated a range of eras within specific amplifier personalities, of which there were 8 in total. By simply twisting a few knobs, you could build the most sought-after tones and hot rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation was delivered in their own distinctive voicings.

We wanted to broaden the range of tonal options and took that concept a step further to include additional building blocks. Because there’s a certain chemistry between specific pairings that will forever be a part of history.  Think Ralph & Alice. Fred & Wilma. Lucy & Ricky.  Abbott & Costello.  Bonnie & Clyde.  They all made a lot of noise and they all had a lot of fun!

Fuzzy Brit  =  Marshall-style + Fuzz Face-style

Range of Character Settings:
• Below 12 o’clock brings you the Bluesbreaker/JTM45-style era of British blues– warm, overdriven tone with the characteristic bulldog bite.  
• Nearing 12 o’clock takes you into the Plexi range with a noticeable throatiness in the mids.
• Above 12 o’clock gets you the classic presence boost of the ‘70s Metalface.
• Full up it goes to 11. That’s right, 11.

Independent Fuzz Section:
• FUZZ to adjust the overall amount of fuzz.
• TONE is a very musical, specialized low pass filter that allows you to remove the high end without losing mids or getting muddy.
