Re: Tech21-trademark10
I've been using a TM 10 for a couple years. Great practice/recording amp. It's a dead-ringer for a Marshall in a 14 lb package. I use mine on the Marshall setting about 90% of the time. Never found a sound I like on the Mesa setting. The Tweed setting can sound good at times, but is a bit flat for a truly great clean sound IMO.

Re: Tech21-trademark10
There's a guy on the forum who has one, Steve S, was his old handle. He likes his a lot. A friend of a friend of mine has one that I played through a few times-sounded great-it did give a pretty decent Marshall/gain channel and the cleans were pretty solid. He played with a Hamer Studio, and I played my Tele. I seriously considered this amp when I was looking for a compact amp-I went with a H/K Edition 30.
Tech 21 has a cool limited run 30W amp that you may want to check out.
They didn't have it at the time I was looking :smack:

Re: Tech21-trademark10
Yup...they have the TM30LE....EXACTLY the same amp in 30watts & a special Weber 10'' speaker. I bought one but sent it back because the cabinet was broken. D@MNED UPS !!!
The TM10 is a very nice practice/recording/bedroom amp....only downside, aside from the minimal volume, is it's not footswitchable. So if you want to switch from clean to dirty, you have to manually do it.
They show up on E-bay all the time....also, John w/BlackRose Customs (BlackRose on this forum) is a dealer for Tech21. He can probably hook you up with any info!

Re: Tech21-trademark10
The TM10 is definitely good if you're looking for versatility. Its especially good for blues and rock. The Mesa setting is cool when I want to do something really heavy. I'd say its only weakness is its cleans for jazz. The clean settings can be kind of flat, as Alvin Lee Fan said. Of course, I don't have the nicest guitar, so you might want to take that into consideration. I think it's been worth the money just for the blues and rock stuff I play. If it's important to you for the amp to have footswitchable channels, you might want to look elsewhere. I was concerned about that at first, but I've done fine with an overdrive pedal for going from clean to dirty. Good luck.

Re: Tech21-trademark10
Mhhhh.. I am taking really seriously to buy it... It seems that it is just what i need. I don't care about the money if it worths. The only down side it is the clean settings couse i really like to play clean. Anyway It seens that without going to tubes this is the best option...

Re: Tech21-trademark10
I've got one clean clip of my TM 10 if you're interested. Most of my TM 10 recordings are more on the raunchy side.

Re: Tech21-trademark10
FWIW I use the Mesa setting for overdriven blues tones sometimes. Also, the reverb is great for such a small amp.
You really can't get much volume on the clean Fender setting, but with the small size, great versatility, headphone, speaker and XLR recording outputs, it's a wonderful little box IMHO.
