Tech 21 Q/Strip

[bassbrad]

I love seeing all these preamps and channel strips coming out in pedal form, lots of lovely magic in those designs.

Is there an MSRP posted somewhere? I'd guess probably around $200 since it's not that dissimilar to a Sansamp.

I hope the low and high pass are useful. That would be key.

B&H has a preorder page listed at $249

what "vintage console" is this pedal emulating ?

You know... the near-mythical ones with highly-coveted tone shaping circuits, revered for their warmth, girth, and larger-than-life, juicy, vintage tones. Those vintage consoles.

I'm getting it - I don't know any single pedal that does what this one does for the price

Who could resist poking fun? The fact is that I was among the first to own and gig the original SansAmp. I remember that the Tech 21 folks were cool people whenever I visited them back then. When I last spoke with them circa 2007, they were still cool. So I support them!

This is one I would like to hear, for sure. My friend is a Tech 21 dealer, but he doesn't have demo units. I'll wait for some firsthand accounts of the Q\Strip online, then consider buying one.

Big SansAmp fan here, so I'm always watching what Tech21 puts out . I already have a PBDDI which I use for clean and dirt. I added an fDeck HPF (series 3) to clean up unwanted low freqs and as for parametric EQs, it's simply not a pedal I'm "getting"... or am I totally missing the point for the Q/strip ?

Any ideas on the release date?
Johno!

The Q/Strip is not based on a specific console. The intent of the design was to capture the sound and flexibility of these revered consoles in a user friendly and affordable format. The Q/Strip is also optimized for musical instrument use. It utilizes 100% analog MOSFET circuitry and is built with high end components.

This looks like its gonna be my next Tech 21 pedal.

 

[chumbo73]

Looks really good, if I wouldn't have the MXR M81 I would be after it.

Does the Q\Strip offer any advantages to someone who already records with a SansAmp? If I'm using my BDDI, for example, would I add the Q\Strip to the signal chain? Or use it instead of the BDDI? This pedal looks great. Just trying to figure out whether I need it.

Also, is it Q/Strip or Q\Strip?

Cool!
With this and the Geddy pre they are hitting it out of the park this year.

The Q/Strip has no amp emulation. It would work great in conjunction with the Bass Driver DI if you wanted the added tonal options.
