Anywho, since you are interested in Tech21 tones why not buy something like a powered stage monitor or simply a PowerEngine?
One of the cool things about the Tri pre-amp is you get a physical affects loop.

I stumbled on a way to improve tone when in front of an amp or for that matter period. I was trying a few tone caps on my SC axe. My Tri turns on with a cranked Brit setting, I swept the full range of the tone pot. Low and behold, just before the point at which tone goes dark then vol drops out there was this jangle without the piercing hi's! The 1st true clean tone I ever got from this thing. Better still as I roll the tone back up, the break-up, grind then sizzle all sound great. The tone is like a vol or gain control. Not the same as the volume, it's like a tone knob on a vintage single tone amp. At 4 your clean and warm, go past noon and the gain picks up. Oh joy.
So, a sweet clean Brit sound, the same goes for hi gain California. It's an odd set-up on the git now, if I were to bypass the unit I get no sound unless I go back to normal tone pot setting. I get best clean tone with the pup vols down a little too.

Good luck]]> Live Sound socalscott https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/anyone-familiar-with-tech-21-trademark-amps/paged/2/#post-277859 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/anyone-familiar-with-tech-21-trademark-amps/paged/2/#post-274333 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:10:19 +0000

I can't listen until everyone is awake around here... :roll: Anyway, I'm still thinking about the Tech 21 TM60, and haven't yet played through one. I'll listen to your clips as soon as possible.

Thanks! :D]]> Live Sound musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/anyone-familiar-with-tech-21-trademark-amps/paged/2/#post-274189 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/anyone-familiar-with-tech-21-trademark-amps/paged/2/#post-274188 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:19:07 +0000

Yes, it allows you to get more tube OD (so tube compression, richer harmonics, longer sustain etc) without the lame volume. As for the BJ NOS, why not go for a new cab instead? You'll get the same sonical difference for way less money.]]> Live Sound Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/anyone-familiar-with-tech-21-trademark-amps/paged/2/#post-270011 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/anyone-familiar-with-tech-21-trademark-amps/#post-270008 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 21:12:48 +0000
From what I think I understand, I guess I'd get more gain without more volume (for one)??? Believe me, there's nothing wrong with the tone of that Blues Jr., but I would love to get more natural tube OD from it. I've got lots of pedals, which are great, but there's nothing like real tubes being driven to the max IMHO! :D

I really did love the sound of the Blues Jr. NOS (with a Jensen speaker). But at over $500, I'm not sure even I can justify the purchase of another BJ with a different speaker and lacquered tweed covering (the only differences)!

Thanks again, guys! It's hard out here for a female (this female, I should say!) alone in the world of electronics! Have a great weekend (if it's not already over)!
