I've been using my Tech21 Tradesman 10 as my only recording amp. I mic it with my AT 2035 or SM58. But I mostly use the direct out so as not to be loud late at night but find that sound thin. That said, I just can't seem to get a nice clean or driven tube sound out of it either way. I tend to play open sounding chords and simple leads (songwriter here). I play a strat and and Aria ES335 clone. Not a heavy metal guy. Lately I've been hearing that the Blackstar HT-1R is great for mic recording as its a low volume tube amp that drives like a large Marshall.
Anyone here have a comparison of between them? Not found one to play yet. Various youtube reviews give it high marks - but so did their reviews of the Tech 21.
