This amp was released in the late- ‘ 90s , so one might be forgiven for assuming it to be less sophisticated than some of the newer amps on this list , but then again the Trademark 60 has spent most of its existence being way ahead of its time . It was designed by Andrew Barta , the engineer behind Tech 21 ’ s Sansamp , and as such it is basically a Sansamp in 60-watt , 1x12 combo amplifier form ( A Sansamp amp . Ironic , no ?). Like the revolutionary Sansamp , it can conjure up a shocking range of tones , from vintage Fender , Marshall , and Vox sounds , to more modern Mesa-Boogie-style sounds . Its ability to generate these tones entirely within the analog realm continues to amaze , especially in light of current digital modeling technology . Players with behemoth pedalboards will appreciate its formidable capabilities as a platform for effects usage , and will love the diversity of its onboard dirt and its lush Accutronics spring reverb . The Tech 21 Trademark 60 is also quite light , easy to carry in one hand , and can be found on the used market quite inexpensively .
