I've heard a bit about the Tech 21 units. I am very partial to the tone I get from the Blackface setting of the MicroCube. It's a very convincing Fender amp simulation in my opinion, at leas one my guitars, which are all geared toward a warm and beefy jazz tone. I'll have to find the SansAmp GT2 in a local store somewhere to test out. p.s. Andy, did your email automatically add "SUSPECTED SPAM" to the subject heading?
