£25 a piece, albeit the v1 versions without the speaker emulation defeat.

I have a Tech21 Blonde I use as an Amp Sim with Sell Crazy when we practise at my drummers house and it's amazing. These might be worth a pop. Part of me wants to pick up a couple to try out.

I think the mapping is like this:

AC - Liverpool (Vox)
British - British (Marshall)
California - California (Mesa Boogie Mark Series)
American - Blonde (Fender)
Extreme Metal - US Steel (Mesa Boogie Rectifier Series)

Thanks for posting Mike. I'm thinking the Fender one may be good to use as an EQ before my EHX 22 Calibre as it has no EQ, I may get one.

Bear in mind these have speaker emulation on all the time, so you might get some odd interaction going into a power amp and then speakers, but you might actually be ok as the EQ is pretty powerful.

I've been very impressed with the Blonde I have for going DI - it also takes pedals very well - it sounds as close as you'd not know to playing pedals into a mic'd Fender amp.

Wow, really you cant go wrong at £25.
Is'nt the Behringer TM300 based on the V1? I use the mic position option a lot for different sounds. Great pedals.

The Behringer is the SansAmp G1 I believe

Great sounding thing. These are similar analogue amp emulation technology but aimed at specific families of amps.

Thanks for the info. I think for £25 it's worth a punt.

WANT EXTREME METALZ

Awesome, I was looking for an 'AC30 in a pedal' to use with my Powerblock so this might work. Cheers.

They should go ahead and integrate these with a small power section like those recent power amp pedals, BOOM TINY EMERGENCY AMP.

I'm totally gonna nab one of these. I was really impressed by the demo Aeon did of his SansAmp version. Although at £129 for the SansAmp, that seems perfectly reasonable for what it is

So I picked up the British and American (Marshall and Fender) pedals and tried them out at rehearsal last night.

The American one sounds just like my Blonde to me, although we weren't doing "silent" practise so I couldn't A/B them. The footswitch doesn't work in bypass mode however so I've contacted Thomann and they're going to replace it.

The British sounds very Marshally and lovely, I'll get the Tech21 settings from their website and start having a muck about next week.

Overall QC issue aside, I'm impressed.

Nice one Mike. I trust you will be demo'ing on Youtube?

thanks mike, they sound really interesting and at that price certainly worth a look

Umm.. probably not, no time innit.

Although when Amy is away at the Hay Festival I might have a bit more of an opportunity. I could do a DI'd one into Sonar.

picked up one of each of these i am also impressed!

particularly with the:
British
American
Extreme Metal (BONKERS!!!)

will demo when i have means!

Good to hear. Might pick one up myself.

I've always wanted to try these but no xlr jack kind of puts me off. There's room in the tech21's for a jack and some people do mod them for it. For that price its a hell of a deal for a practice or even rehearsal in a pinch

playng about more with the extreme metal and the battery doesn't fit in the battery compartment LOL!

they sound good through my Laney LC30ii really have to find the sweet spot though.

Aww, if they only had switchable speaker emulation.
