General

The collaboration between Tech 21 and Steve Harris began when the bassist toured to promote his debut solo album, British Lion, since it wasn't all that practical for the Iron Maiden member to bring his go-to live rig along to smaller shows. That meant that together with Harris, who's been using the same gear for nearly 40 years, Tech 21 had to find a way to capture his signature sound and carefully stuff it inside a lightweight and compact amp.

The Steve Harris SH1 Signature SansAmp: Completely Practical and Practically Complete

The SH1 has two channels with individual gain and volume controls and comes with an active 4-band EQ with a whopping 18 dB cut/boost. There's a Blend switch to determine how much of the instrument signal you want to let through while the Bite switch can provide an extra dose of brightness whenever needed. Built for stage use, this signature amp has an XLR output with ground lift and encompasses a true tone-shaping power tool.

honestly an amazing pedal, very versatile and made my setup a lot easier to carry and play around with. even if you're not a fan of steve harris, the tuner on board is very good and easy to read and the 2 channels i've been using one as a passive and the other for my active basses, so I don't need to change the main EQ. well worth the money.

Dit pedaal geeft je echt de Steve Harris sound maar is ook verbazingwekkend veelzijdig. Je kunt er echt heel veel klanken uit krijgen. Het enige nadeel is dat je behoorlijk veel met de EQ moet spelen afhankelijk van welke knoppen actief zijn op het pedaal. De bite en speakersim knoppen veranderen het karakter van de klank dramatisch, dus het is niet gemakkelijk om te switchen tussen bite on/off. Het had fijn geweest als je meerdere volledige presets kon opslaan in het pedaal. Maar het is ook goed mogelijk om een mooie klank in te stellen en met tweaks op je bas zelf het verschil te maken.

Desalniettemin een aanrader als de bovenstaande punten geen dealbreakers zijn voor je.
