I cant stand it another threaded moment, I gotta have a mini Z! ;D Man I'm bout' to go nuts reading all these boast posts........I have blown my ears out for the last time (at least for this week) I had a Tech 21 Trademark 10 combo about six years ago with an 8" speaker in it. I loved that little amp even tho it was not a tube amp. It had a spring verb, speaker out, and I think an FX loop in it. I used to plug it into my Boogie 1x12 cab with Mesa /Celestion in it and it even made my Jeff Beck Strat with stock Lace Sensors kick booty and my PRS Custom 22 killed with it too, and they sounded like "themselves". I kept it for 29 days before returning it cuz I thought as good as it sounded Tech 21 would surley come out with a 20 watt or so version with a 10" or 12" speaker......well they didn't. instead they came out with a GT-2 pedal that supposedly was the Trademark 10 in a pedal. Well to make a long story short...that pedal stunk big time. it was nowhere near the combo it was supposed to mimic I'll say. So, 6 years later and about ten differnt amps I'm still looking. I have two Maz juniors, one with and one with out verb. I love them both but I am selling the NR version to get a MINI Z!!! I still have my $8.000 rack set up that weighs 130 pounds sans speaker(s) and I still have two MK II C+s I am selling. I have to get a Mini after reading about them. I have been a little gun shy about the little beasts but I think we all can trust the good Doc on the tone thing.. My only wish is that the Mini would be offered with verb but I guess thats only a personal preference. the thought of not blowing out my hearing (whats left of it that is) and being so inspired to keep on playing and not stop is the grail of playing?? I'm thinking......YEA! Now that I have vented I'll think of a way to pitching this to my Wife!!! I can only hear her now......Not another amp!!!! heheheheeee...I'll never sleep tonight ...I can just feel it comin' on.......DANG!....Uh BTW, has anybody else ever owned a Trademark 10?
