    Tech 21 Trademark 30Published on 10/25/11 at 14:20
    The Tech 21 Trademark 30 is a single channel, single speaker guitar combo amplifier. It's a solid state amplifier, with a single 10" speaker and 30 watts of power. It has a slew of connections, including 1/4" jacks for instrument input, headphones, external speaker output, and return and send effect loops. It also has an XLR direct output, which is cool to have on a guitar amp and somewhat rare.

    UTILIZATION

    The Tech 21 Trademark 30 has a good amount of parameters to play with. It has a unique character and modeling section, with amp, speaker, and mode three way switches. For amp modeling, you can choose between tweed, British, and California settings, while the speaker gives you US, UK, or flat settings to choose from. The modes to choose from include clean, hot, and hi gain. This make up is the same as some of Tech 21's trademark modeling pedals. The main parameters on the amp are knobs for drive, low, mid, and high EQ, reverb, and level. No need for a manual here.

    SOUNDS

    The sound of the Tech 21 Trademark 30 is really good, but it's still always going to be a solid state amp. While it's super clean sounding, it does sound like a solid state amp no matter how much you mess with the setting. Even so, it's a nice sounding amplifier and will definitely be suitable for recording in many situations. I like how much control you have, and the XLR output actually sounds quite realistic. Still, I prefer micing the amp and in the end would still like it to be a tube amp, but as far as solid state amps go, this is up there with the best of it's size.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The Tech 21 Trademark 30 is a nice little solid state amplifier for use in the studio or on the stage. It's not expensive and you can get a good amount of differing sounds between the different character settings. It's an awesome amp to have, but I'd still recommend complementing it with a tube amp for times when you just can't live without it. Still, this is a solid recording amp and definitely should be checked out for those guitarists looking for a good amount of control in a solid state amplifier.

    Not understand ... I left a comprehensive opinion on this combo, and no way to find ... not understand. Well, it swells me to rewrite everything so I'll summarize.

    Combo-channel transistors built in a good woodwork with a 10 hp "for a purchase price of 200 euros.

    [4] Neither incredible, nor bad, anyway this is a single channel, so the note can not be wondrous.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration is as simple and effective enough to single channel to let sculpt your guitar and your style of sound.

    The possibility of choosing between modes tweed, british and american significantly expands the scope of this combo.

    The possibility of choosing between modes tweed, british and american significantly expands the scope of this combo.

    The race is accurate potentiometers and their interaction on the sound is very effective. So, we can sculpt his sounds precisely.

    It is not suitable for live use (not enough power to cover a drummer), but is perfect for home use.

    SOUNDS

    Then I took a solid slap. I think I can Afirm that one of the best amp transistors that I had the opportunity to try to date.

    The receiver commits a little mean by that that color the sound much, but despite this, there was absolutely faithful to the grains of different guitars that I transcribed and branch out their specificities.

    The clean sound is a sound clean reference it in tweed or British mode. In this exercise, tweed mode, the sound is round, not spectacularly airy, but it has the height. It is slightly behind in volume compared to other modes. The slamming and harmony that emerge have a high hallucinogen. The sound is typical of the british cleans Marshalls, we like it or not, I love this high-pitched sharp as we know ballads of Motörhead.

    These two sounds would have a good case to buy, but the position of "hot" the channel is the second surprise british and size. Here, I get very nice sounds with a prs or a Warrior soldier, organic, airy, and set aside a little tart who does not detract from the experience and a lot of fishing. A real beautiful sound punk. But tridouillant sounds, it can range from a slight crunch "Smoke on the Water," a big distortion highgain newpunk American genre. It is also my solo channel because it has a more acute charcle that with a more furious and shallower ... A treat.

    In British high gain is the orgy. I type "Master of Puppets" with a fidelity sound that leaves me doubting. It is a well typed, sturdy, a little wet and heavy, with some acidity typical transo, but that does not differ fundamentally changed JCM800 head (which will sound but thicker). Note that the type of amplifier (transistor). He will respond to a particular type of use (tor), but if you are, you will be thrilled.

    Note that in a general sense that the typical passage between the clean and crunch, this is not entirely convincing. Here we recognize the chemical side of architecture transo. Just as his chiseled very harmonically, that is, there is also specific to the architecture.

    [9] As a result, it lacks only the lamps, but their absence is almost entirely forgotten.

    Addition of 27 September: I conducted moultes experiences with the machine and am pleased that during my test. I managed to discover the secret of the equalizer and found sounds warm and (very) heavy metal explosives that spot but just not too fat. I used to live (transplanted, it goes without saying). He gave me a lot of ideas and pointed me towards the 120 trademark for permanent use. Last detail. If you have a Dean Flying V United States is the amp must be combined with. Its crazy guaranteed.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The price performance ratio is questionable because the purchase price remains conscéquent and use one can do such a combo is restricted. But if you are looking for quality sound for your home and you have difficult neighbors, before investing in an infinitely powerful head lamp that may ask for concessions sound, consider purchasing this device that will be anything but ridiculous compared to some of its competitors "tubes".

    [8] Not bad at all, this combo is a worthwhile investment. Since my purchase, two colleagues, though clad in gear, went on Tech21. The overall score is rather high, because the combo a hit in his field (combo transistor with 10-hp "). But you have to put this vote in this category.
    Note [5] is the average home
