Frank Bello is known for bringing a distinct style and energetic passion to Anthrax. He somehow manages to merge complex melodic riffs, not typically associated within that genre, with dizzying speed and accuracy - all while headbanging, romping around the stage, and dashing up to the mic to sing harmonies. Spending his early years hanging out on 48th Street, Frank discovered and bought his first SansAmp. He later picked up the SansAmp Bass Driver, which became the heart of his rig for several decades.
Now, Frank has his own Signature SansAmp, the Street Driver 48.
In addition to the specific tones Frank wanted, a major priority was to make the Street Driver 48 simple to operate. He didn’t want a zillion knobs, switches, or gratuitous bells & whistles. He wanted players to be able to get a great sound right out of the box, whether it’s for metal or R&B or prog rock, whether novice or expert, whether young or advanced in years. As with all Tech 21 Signature SansAmps, the Frank Bello Street Driver 48 offers the artist’s core sounds and the versatility for many different styles.
DRIVE
Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive.
LOW, HIGH
Active tone controls that cut or boost from 12 o’clock.
LEVEL
Adjusts the output level without altering any of the tonal characteristics.
DIRT SWITCH
Adds extra gain and overdrive for over-the-top nastiness!
FILTH SWITCH
Adds top-end sizzle and razor edge clarity to emphasize your attack.
SPEAKER SIMULATION
The all-analog SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation technology encompasses the entire signal chain, from pre-amp to power amp to speaker simulation. An integral part of the circuitry, the SansAmp speaker simulation will complement any type of bass speaker cabinet system. You can also place an external IR after a SansAmp to give additional flavor if you so desire. The SansAmp speaker sim is designed and individually tailored for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multiply-miked cabinet –without peaks, valleys, and notches associated with single miking and many IRs.
