Googling around, I see a lot of good stuff about the Trademark 10.
Yeah, you guys have put me onto this as well... may need to get my hands on one of these. :)
Mike, have you used the SansAmp at all (outside of the Trademark 10)? I wonder if it, direct into a PA or deck, would be comparable to what the TM10 offers.
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. I have gone direct out to a PA as well. It was a pretty great sounding, if one-dimensional, rig. I'll have to try the BigMuff bass trick. I've had mine since 1974. I usually record bass (a '62 MIJ Fender Jazz) direct. It sounds fine to me.
getting a halfway decent bass sound without demolishing buildings seems to be a real bitch! For me, anyway ....)
I've gotten some fat-sounding bass in the past by putting it through a good old Electroharmonix Big Muff pedal with the tone turned most of the way down.
Having said that, I've generally been using my Nobels Bass Overdrive pedal with my guitar lately (tone turned most of the way up) since I find it to sound more "organically crunchier" than the Muff...
