I'm using a whole bunch of different things but, to answer the question from a guitar amp point of view, I'd wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking to check out a Tech 21 Trademark 10.
I use the Trademark 10 too and I would recommend it as well. Thing sounds *dope* for it's size. IMHO, it's going get better results than a Behringer Vamp or Line 6 Pod or the like. And it's a real practice amp with an effects send/return.
Googling around, I see a lot of good stuff about the Trademark 10. though it's a bit pricey for me, and if I really wanted a guitar combo solution, I've already got my Laney 50w. Still, Trademark 10 reviews rapidly made me think I should perhaps be checking out a SansAmp GT2 and SansAmp Bass Driver DI (I really love the sound of a big overdriven bass rig, from a Pappalardi to a Lemmy, but while I find a lot of decent guitar tones just plugging into things, getting a halfway decent bass sound without demolishing buildings seems to be a real bitch! For me, anyway ....) Of course, the SansAmps are basically stomp boxes, and I guess all outboard effects would have to be in series, before or after, which leaves me about where I would be with the Bass V-amp (which would include pretty much everything I needs for guitar and bass in one package, barring the effects loop or questions of amp-sim quality). I see the SansAmp rack-units have effects loops, but that's again more money and space than I want to see eaten up! Man, I'm relieved that I get such good results out of DoggieBox without the need for pricey gear :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
