Tech 21 TRADEMARK 10 - Manual (Page 2)

T ECH 21, THE COMPANY
Tech 21, Inc., was formed by a guitarist possessing the unusual combination
of a trained ear and electronics expertise. In 1989, B. Andrew Barta incorpo-
rated Tech 21 and made his invention commercially available to players and
studios around the world. His highy-acclaimed SansAmp™ pioneered
Tube Amplifier Emulation in professional applications for recording direct
and performing live, and created an entirely new category of signal process-
ing. While there have since been many entries into this niche, SansAmp
continues to maintain its reputation as the industry standard.
After developing a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 expanded its offer-
ings to include effect pedals; a compact, battery operable MIDI footcon-
troller, the MIDI Mouse; as well as “traditional” style amplifiers for guitar
and bass. Each product is thoughtfully and respectfully designed by
B. Andrew Barta himself with the player in mind. Our goal is to provide you
with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate, control, refine and redefine your
own individual sound. Tech 21 takes great pride in delivering consistent
professional quality sound, studio to studio, club to club, arena to arena.
TRADEMARK 10, AN OVERVIEW
The overall design is far more than just a scaled-down version of its big
brother 60-watt, 2-channel Trademark 60 amp. The 100% analog Trademark
10 merges the simple-to-operate format of our exceptionally popular
SansAmp GT2 pedal with the look and feel of the Trademark 60, and pro-
vides the totally
professional sound quality for which Tech 21 is known.
Despite its humble stature, the Trademark 10 delivers a truckload of the
most desirable, big tube amp sounds --most obviously, Fender,
® Marshall, ®
and Mesa/ Boogie, ® and does so even at low levels. The interactive controls
give you access to specific tone shaping characteristics to create your own
trademark sounds as well.
For studio and live applications, our proprietary SansAmp Tube Amplifier
Emulation technology enables you to go straight into the mixer of a recorder
or PA system via the XLR Direct Output. In addition to the 3 preset speaker
styles you can choose with the flick of a switch, the Trademark 10 can also
be miked. For recording, you have the advantage of being able to employ dif-
ferent microphones and miking techniques for even greater versatility. So
you can capture all the nuances of multiply-miked, large, loud stage rigs
without excessive volume.
The Trademark 10 is an affordable, multi-functional, super cost-effective
package weighing just over 14 lbs. Whether you’re a beginner, road warrior,
about-to-be, or already a big star, this truly useful amp is capable of fulfilling
a variety of needs, even as they change, throughout your entire career.
