Picked this up a few days ago (had to round out that order of strings to get free shipping
)
For those who aren't familiar with Tech21, they do "amp modelling" but not the same way that Line6, Behringer, etc do modelling. Rather than using DSP to try to emulate an amp, they use analog circuitry to emulate the amp. The Tri-AC has 3 amp "models" - Fender, Marshall, and Boogie

Quick review (I'll do a more in depth one later...)
Build quality feels good - all metal, nice weight to it, I'm not afraid to step on it
Controls are simple: gain, amp style, EQ and level
Sounds good, with obvious potential. I find it's easier to get a "real" sound out of this thing than my PODxt. That said, there's something weird about the highs that I'm wrestling with a bit. The EQ is active and very sensitive, so it may be that I just need to play with it more.
It's way smaller than I thought it would be, which is a plus - I've attached a pic next to a pedal that should be pretty familiar to everyone so you can get an idea of the size
Sorry 'bout the pics - looks like the gf has my camera today....
