It is almost 15 years in the future lmao. I just bought a TM60 in new condition, and these amps are STILL some of the best solid state amps that exist. I bought a TM10 in 1999 and it is still alive and kickin.

pretty young back then... about 9 years ago... but you still can RIP IT UP! Thx for the review. Love your current ones too!

Great review and sweet playing! I got one of the first TM 60s back in the 90s and can't imagine being without it. Amazing amp. A joy to play through in a club or at home.

Have to agree with intheblues here, these amps are FAT and WARM sounding, and the best part is they sound the same at bedroom volume as they do in clubs. I play this amp out several times a week and get more compliments on my tone and playing on this amp then any other amp I own, and that includes a real '66 Super Reverb, a Blues Jr, Blues Deluxe, Peavey Classic 30, Fender Roc Pro 1000. This amp has become my go to amp for most everything. Super versatile, super responsive to touch. Cleans up!

I'm very much looking forward to testing it properly! :) Jammed out at home on it tonight and it sounds great man. I'm really happy with it so far.

watched your video half way through and didn't recognize you until I saw your channel name :) Follow most of your recent videos so nice to see one from the past! cheers!

LOVE my Trademark 60. Such a sweet sounding amp with many tonal options. Bought it for $70 US on the local classifieds!! They had no idea what they had. Sounds AMAZING through a 4x12 Marshall cab. I will never sell it. :)

I love my Trademark 60, it's become my main amp for ANY style, and it's light... after having schlepped around MESA Boogie, Marshall, Vox and Fender amps for years , my back (and my hands) are very grateful :-)

I was considering buying one of the tech21 amps for awhile, and your video convinced me to go ahead! Bloody hard to get in Sydney though, had to order mine from Adelaide! Great Demo of a great amp! Thanks

@intheblues appreciate your input. Thanks!

Nice job on the amp presentation, its functions and really nice playing. You are hired!

Shane, very good playing and a very good review! I own a Trademark 30 and a Trademark 60 2x12 and I can recommend these amps to everyone, I´ve never missed a Tubeamp, they really do have the warmth of tubes, hard to distinguish from a tube amp!

Very nice playing man!!

yes absolutely :)

@KingTabor I can't really say it works great with pedals because I don't think I've really needed to use them with it. I have a tried an o/d pedal one gig but I found it compressed/fuzzied the sound up a little. The boost switch on the amps foot pedal does the job nicely. I'm sure it would work with all pedals though depending on the sound you start with.

Only 13 years ago - your kids will inherit this. The greatest little jungle warfare expert there is... ready for anything.

I bought this amp after watching your video. Thanks for intruducing great tech21 amp. Also, I got same guitar on your video(Fender stratocaster 50th Anniv. Deluxe)

@mistad00m mic cable to the desk, it's like a XLR output, seperate to the external speaker socket

It can switch between channels and effect loops

this amp sounds like a tube, it really is the best sounding solid state i have ever heard.

Hello, I have a Eleven rack processor and I've been looking for a way to have a good stage volume without relying on the sound guy to send me a good monitor mix, and I'm needing to know if you think this will work for that. Basically I need just a great clean channel. Thanks for any help

Yeah it's got a guide that comes with the amp on how to set it up for all sorts of music. It's got a mid scoop on there too perfect for thrashy heavy metal stuff :)

@kdc300z it buzzes a little yeah, nothing "too loud" in my experience. I would suggest trying it in a different room or house/venue and see how it goes some power points are so noisy.

I had a Trademark 10 that sounded bad azz through my Mesa 1x12 cab with a Black Shadow 80 even with Lace Sensor Pup's in my Jeff Beck Strat.........I was even going to take the head out and mount it inside the Mesa cab and make it a 1x12 combo it was that good

I got the Trademark 10 but damn did you get a lovely sound.

Just wondering how this compares to the Roland blues cubes. I'm in the market for a good sounding solid state amp and have shortlisted the trademark 60 and Blues Cube Artist. Any thoughts ?

yeah if I make it down I'll bring it for sure.

Great amp, I have the 1x12 Trademark 60. It imediatedly became my main amp, I use a line6 Pod X3 live in front of it. My last amp before this one was a Fender Hot Rod Deville, I miss nothing from it exept volume in rare situations. The solution will be a 2x12 Trademark.

That had some amazing sounds for a transitor amp. It would seem it is the best of both worlds. You have to sound of a tube amp without the tube maintainence.

Which one you would recommend now, tech trademark 60 or Fender mustang 3?

hey, great vid. btw, do still like this amp 7-8 years later? I see one that's a reasonable deal right now.

@zordakAU they are a great amp man, people always comment on the tone of this thing when I play it live. You can make any guitar sound good in it, unlike most amps out there.

i got the same one except mines 4x10. i love it, i wish they made a head that can power stacks.

BTW, dude great playing!!

This thang is still an unsurpassed technical wonder. With some minor tweeks you change your sound from SRV to Led Zep to Jazz.. At bedroom level as well. No modeling ; it's pure analog signals we're talkin about here without any digital approach. Own it for over 6 years, no longing for tubes. How did they do it?

Great demo and dude, great playing!!! I LOVE my Trademark 60, got it when it first came out. You can lose yourself in tweaking if you want, or just crank it. Played it on some club gigs and it sounded great with a Les Paul. I have some clips of me playing through my old Trademark 10, check em out.

I have the 1X12 version! BEST solidstate amp out there!!!!

@k2snake cheers!

Sounds great to me. But, can the bass be tamed to play at softer, room volumes?

Nice playing and great sound! I'm considering buying a 1x12 TM60 as a backup amp. Have you had the chance to try the 1x12 model and how does it compare to your 2x12 model? Apart from the number of speakers they are supposed to have exactly the same specs and features.

@rygertheodd yep :)

sounds good for blues but does it get harmonic feedback? didn't hear any in the video

U make that thing sound real nice mate , i got given one of these little beaut's for free by a good friend of mine,, AND the matching xtra cab for it ,,,, great score...I plug my Ecstasy red pedal into it, and it screams real nice,,😝👌

That Red pedal is great yes🤘🏾

my trademark 60 has quite a bit of hum in the background on both channels and also the boost / reverb area.. does yours? Or maybe I possibly have a ground issue.

@dreadnotpop you can get it screaming without any problem at all. :)

I have one and while you can get great clean and distorted sounds there is one flaw with the amp: The clean and dirty channel share the same high and low controls. So many times I find the right clean sound and then the distorted sound isn't great or likewise I find EQ a great distorted sound but the clean sound suffers

@MikeCarlyleWMass

A design decision, I suppose rather than a "flaw". Many amps share this arrangement of shared tone between channels, including the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

"Umm" hahaha I found myself always hearing the "umm"'s every 4 or 5 words. Good explanation of the amp layout much enjoyed. Tone is wicked. I would def buy one of these as i can never seem to have enough amps lol

you can run this to a 4x12 cab right? i heard you say microphone cable ??

Ahhh! At last someone giving a proper review. I'm really interested in one of these nab boys. How do they sound at low volume bedroom level. If it's shite is the headphone input any good. Loving your work fella.

Been playing a Trademark 60 for many years now, southern rock to rockabilly. It’s great on any volume and for any style. Enough when the other guitarist plays a Marshall 100 watts and sounds fat at home, at really low volume. The line-out is great for plugging into a PA system, hardly any difference with a mic in front of it. I am very happy with this little amp!

@rhykko77 the bass is huge on this amp

How is the bass response on the 60 ? (2-12's) it sounds very full on the video.

Hi Shane, I do own a TM60 myself that I like very much. Do you think that your Trademark works well with OD pedals? Thanks!

does it has footswitchable effects¿¿

@mangni awesome man, did u like it? :)

what is your gain setting on this? I've got this amp and i really want that tone. Would be great if you could reply. Thanks

i have one of these. they have great tone. if set up correctly you can get a jtm 45 , jcm 800, sound outta these. trust me i have this its a cool lllloooouuuudddd amp. you can plug a cab thru the back .awesome!

its a great amp

Funny thing is that this does sound like a tube/valve amp.....do you feel the warmth and power form it like a tube amp...very comparable to a lot of tube makes out there.....

Tech 21 stuff is great. You should try there new plexi pedal with chorus, delay, reverb and boost. Thanks man..:-)

What made you sell it?

OK, it's been almost 10 years. Do you still use the Trademark 60 or are you using the DSL40 instead?

Dude my buddy got the Trademark 60 out of a pawn shop for a couple hundred dollars. Its the 112 version. We changed out the factory Trademark 60 speaker for a Celestion 80 and back mounted the speaker. What a difference! It opened the amp up and made it sound clearer at lower volumes with a bigger punch. Its an Awesome amp!! I would never part with his if I had it.

Enjoy! The Seventy 80's in mine are the made in China version. I've had this amp since 2007 and am still loving the sheet out of it. I've been thinking of swapping speakers, but hesitate because I feel I'd be attempting to improve a set of tones that I really have become quite thrilled with.

Are these analog solid state? Like the Orange CR60? Instead of digital solid state

Tubes amps are all about FEEL. I've had many different tubes amps. some are very sensitive to touch, such as matchless and budda and some Dr Z and so on. I think they're tooo sensitive, but for a good player there's nothing like it.. They do take time getting used to. Marshalls and Fenders are less sensitive to touch, but thats wut i prefer. I've never herd a SS amp sound like a matchless, EVER !

hi, although celestion is an english brand, seventy 80s might be produced in china.

This is terrible good Shane even if I am 5,6 years late. Was looking for a review as ones up for sale just across the ditch :) Thanks for the work on all your videos. I have one question and please excuse my lack of knowledge but could you explain to me the difference between digital and analog amps. Good luck with the rugby World Cup bro. Would rather see you take it away if we don't. (Shhhh I didn't tell you that Hehehe) UP YOURS ENGLAND! Hehehehe! Na just kidding I love you my England brothers. Heeheehee!

+Stillearning 046 (Stihlearning) Tech 21 amps are solid state/transistor amps but that said they sound nothing like most digital amps. The only modelling/digital amp I can recommend is the Fender Mustang V2 amplifiers. The tech 21 has all analog controls and pots so you use it as you would any valve amp. Some digital amps have LCD screens, colorful LED lights and too many settings. This is simple great sounding amp. I should of kept it. :) Hope that helps mate. I am not really a huge rugby fan but lets see how we go. :) Cheers.

watch GEAR UP TECH 21 TRADEMARK 10 if you want to see what these amps can really do".you wanted to know about Harmonics?.hee hee he"...oh yes" the lil devil will do any tone!...BTW..any amp will sound shit if the treble is turned up too much.watch that demo and you WILL be impressed!
