Tech 21 Steve Harris SH1 Signature SansAmp Pedal

The Tech 21 Steve Harris SH1 Signature SansAmp Pedal is a groundbreaking piece of equipment that captures the iconic tone of one of rock's most legendary bassists, Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. Known for his punchy, driving bass lines that have defined the sound of heavy metal for decades, Steve Harris worked closely with Tech 21 to craft a pedal that perfectly replicates his distinctive tone. The SH1 SansAmp is more than just a tribute—it’s a versatile tool that delivers vintage warmth, modern clarity, and all the power you need to dominate any stage or studio.

The SH1 SansAmp is built around Tech 21’s acclaimed analog circuitry, ensuring the pedal provides an authentic tube amp sound without the need for bulky gear. Its tonal versatility makes it suitable for a variety of genres beyond metal, including rock, blues, and even funk. At its core, this pedal is designed to help you achieve Steve Harris’s signature tone, characterized by tight low-end, articulate mids, and cutting highs, all with a touch of growl that sits perfectly in any mix.

What sets the SH1 apart is its dual-channel functionality, complete with independent gain and level controls for each channel. This allows players to seamlessly switch between two distinct tones on the fly, whether it’s a clean, punchy sound for intricate bass runs or a gritty, overdriven tone for heavy, aggressive passages. The pedal also features a 4-band active EQ, providing exceptional control over bass, midrange, treble, and presence, so you can sculpt your sound with precision.

Built with live performance in mind, the SH1 SansAmp includes a dedicated XLR output for direct connection to mixing consoles or recording interfaces, ensuring your tone remains consistent and professional in any setting. The pedal also includes a 1/4” output, making it compatible with traditional amplifier setups. Whether you're on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home, the SH1 delivers unparalleled sound quality and flexibility.

Housed in a rugged, road-ready chassis with Steve Harris’s signature branding, the pedal is as durable as it is visually striking. Its compact design ensures it fits easily on any pedalboard, while intuitive controls make it accessible for players of all skill levels.
