I just heard about this and thought it looks like quite a good 'Space saving' solution! Hopefully I'll get one to play with in a couple of weeks!
What do you guys think?

VERY interesting.

Very cool and quite handy and portable!!!! You may want to add another overdrive or distortion in front of it though if you want higher gain as it's a mid gain solution.

Very interesting!!! I saw this on Thomann store and has a good price. That DLA section it's totally for my taste because provides vintage tube echo

ahahah I just came here to open a topic about this!

My luthier started to gig recently, till now he went with boss gt8 but didn't like it. Today I went to him to buy some strings and he was messing around with this

I really liked it! he was using it with a wah, comp. , chorus and dist. pedal (gig consists more of a pop/rock music with little funk) and was connected to a marshall MG50 amp clean channel (all setting flat on Mash. amp).

I had the chance to play with its settings, pretty good! sure should work as good with a DI to mixer (that has cab. output,didn't check though if it already has that feature) but tones were great on the mid. sized amp.

The dist. and comp. pedals were there to fatten up the tone or increase volume on solos if needed. The comp. was this, really helped balancing the bass and beef+tightening the tone;

But for metal/shred it does need a pedal, more of a bluesy vibe going on it when alone.

This was the first thing that I tried at NAMM earlier this year. It's a really really great idea! Obviously they can't satisfy everyone, but I don't think you can beat it in terms of tone, portability and price. Definitely a home run for Tech 21.
