The Tech 21 Geddy Lee YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp is a must-have for fans of Geddy Lee and bass enthusiasts seeking unparalleled tonal versatility. Inspired by Geddy’s iconic Moving Pictures-era sound, this pedal delivers the same features and functionality as the highly sought-after MP40 Limited Edition, with added flair in its custom colour scheme and graphics matching Geddy’s other signature products.

Legendary Tone, Modern Features
Building on Tech 21’s groundbreaking SansAmp technology, the YYZ Shape-shifter allows players to achieve Geddy’s signature blend of deep studio-clean and gritty, tube-driven tones.
