Product Description

From the Manufacturer

We call this our Direct Recording Combo Amp. We should have called it Yoda, because there isn't much this diminutive wizard can't handle. The heart of the crafty Trademark 10 is a modified version of the super flexible SansAmp GT2 pedal design. Construct your tone by selecting amp character, gain structure and speaker type, and then use the drive controls and active three-band EQ to nail your sound. The 10-watt output is plenty loud for practice and monitoring but the balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs bring the big tones of this little combo to the studio mixer or PA system. Bedroom, rehearsal, studio or club, the Trademark 10 will prove it's a giant amongst compact combos.

• Character section to construct a custom tone in seconds.
• Professional quality Accutronics 3-spring reverb.
• 3-band, active tone controls, boost or cut 12dB.
• Effect Loop.
• Headphone output doubles as a 1/4" direct out.
• Speaker extension output.
• XLR Direct Output.
• Weighs just over 14lbs.

Product Description

The overall design is far more than just a scaled-down version of its big brother 60-watt, 2-channel Trademark 60 amp. It offers high-end, serious professional quality sound in a practice-amp-sized package. With the Trademark 10, you can travel from bedroom to motel room and from cafe to studio with a truckload of the most desirable, big tube amp sounds -- without so much as a luggage cart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practice amp dream - better at distortions but nice clean also, December 1, 2006

This review is from: Tech21 TM10 Trademark 10 Electric Guitar Amplifier (10 Watts, 1x8 in.)

This little amp is a wonderful practice amp (or very small audience/venue stage amp) with a nice, sparkling clean sound and also creates a nice, fairly nasty distortion sound. I use effects pedal board for specific sounds I like, but this amp really needs nothing unless you want to "metal" blitz. I also own a Tech 21 TM60 which I also give the highest recommendation possible. After playing through soooo many amp's in the $500 price range, the TM60 has the best clean channel sound available in a solid state amp under...$1500. Really, it's that good. And the modeling cabinet effects are very good.
In short, if you need low wattage practice amp, I've never played better than TM10... if you can still find it for sale anywhere. If you need medium sized venue amp or loud home amp, the TM60 1 X 12 is a WONDER in a lightweight package. EASY to haul around - sounds great with effects.
Only gripe - Tech 21 should include an amp cover with these amps. I think they did with the TM10 when it originally came out, but not the TM60 (at 2X the price).
Note: go try out all the amps in the world but remember you've been warned: Tech 21 is on fire in the solid state department ! No tubes to change but 98% of that tube sound. Aaaaahhhhhhh.

This review is from: Tech21 TM10 Trademark 10 Electric Guitar Amplifier (10 Watts, 1x8 in.)

Big sound from little package. Can't play any gigs but suprisingly great, almost loud sound. Very nice deep tone and distortion. Great for practice and home recording.
