According to Tech 21, the Trademark 10 and the SansAmp direct box are identical to each other, technology-wise. I have not used the SansAmp DI, but... I guess that having used the TM10's direct output (as was done on the demo songs) qualifies me as having used it after all.
Well, I think I still need to keep the Bass V-amp under consideration, since it has a pile of both guitar and bass amp sims and clocks in at mere $140 from Musician's Friend. I would have to think bout whether the sound would be sufficiently better from a combination of SansAmp GT2 and Bass DI ($170 and $190 respectively to make costing 150% more (eek!) worthwhile. That could be tough sell on the home front ;) The press and online commentary for the Tech 21 stuff does make it seem rather better sonically than the V-amp (suggesting one may well get what one pays for here), but I think that route might not be practical for me unless I get at least a bit richer :P Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
