The Signature Tones of Paul Landers (Rammstein) in a Fly Rig
The fire and fury of Paul Landers’ virile tone are immortalized in the Tech 21 PL1 Fly Rig. Paul Landers has been a longtime user of Tech 21’s SansAmp guitar gear — notably the PSA and GT2 — since the beginning of Rammstein’s controversial career. “I've always been a no-amp guy,” Landers says of his low-carry, laser-focused industrial guitar sounds heard on “Du Hast” and other hits. The Paul Landers PL1 features two distinct channels of SansAmp emulation, a host of essential FX, and 1/4" and XLR outputs, all at a size you can easily tuck under an arm in transit.

Two channels + boost
The Tech 21 PL1 Paul Landers Signature Fly Rig packs two distinct channels, a boost, and a slew of essential texture effects (delay, tap tempo, and vibrato) into its svelte and easy-traveling metal chassis. The Wasser (Water) clean channel offers 2-band active EQ and a 1-knob compressor to quickly dial in chunky rhythms and crystalline clean tones. Engaging the Feuer (Fire) drive channel unlocks a world of smoke and heat, with 3-band active EQ, a drive knob, and a Bite control to punch up extra presence. An adjustable boost provides an output increase for leads and solos.
Onboard delay, vibrato, and ambience controls
Also onboard the Paul Landers PL1 Fly Rig are a vintage-voiced tape delay with dedicated tap tempo footswitch, a variable vibrato capable of subtle to extreme movement, and an ambience control to impart lifelike room and mic effects. These powerful FX all but eliminate the need for additional rack gear and stompboxes.
Amped or standalone operation with the Paul Landers PL1
The 1/4" in and out jacks included on the Paul Landers PL1 are for seamless amp integration (if you’re into that sort of thing). But if you’re like Paul, all you’ll ever need is the balanced XLR output, which feeds your tone directly into a PA or recording medium.
