Which one did you get?
THR10C (I think they call it the custom blues version?)

Pretty happy so far, but I just run it(in between things) for an hour or so. It?s more than I hoped/expected for, lots of different usable settings and it?s even louder than I thought. All in the context of a bedroom amp, of course.

Tonight is the big test. :D
 
They sort of look like toasters

Yeah and they have little red lights inside them to emulate tubes when it's turned on.

I've heard nothing but great things about these little amps.
 
I have the THR10 as pictured above, fabulous little amp for the money. And can be used as a battery powered iPod speaker to boot. :)
 
Might need to pick one of those up. Leaning towards the THR10C

Here's the lineup if anyone else is curious:

Just though I'd chip in. Best home am I've ever had and I've been through a few, tried powerscaling, low wattage valves amp the lot. It even has a nice acoustic setting and you can play a bass through it. THR10C you won't be sorry.
 
I just popped over to Guitar Center near me at work and took the THR10C for a spin.....pretty much blown away at what it can do. The amp modeling and effects features are pretty great - not all compressed and digital sounding. As others have said, it's a great little practice amp for home.

Did you try it in a seperate test room/sound cabine, cancelling surrounding sound pollution as much as possible?
I did (even brought my own guitar and cable), and even then, it still sounded better in my home environment .
 
No, they had it chained to the display but there were no other wankers in there - just a guy noodling around on a bass.

Sounded surprisingly good in that environment - can only imagine how good it'll sound at home.
 
Returned the THR to the shop, it produced a mechanical resonating noise on some of the settings, while playing certain notes or chords.
Sadly enough, because I liked the way it sounded (without the rattle of course :wink: ).
 
IIRC gain, master and output all at 12 o?clock, bass, middle and treble also around 12 o?clock. Effect on tremolo, reverb on hall.
I don?t remember exactly what amp preset setting, I think it was class A, but it could have been deluxe, definitely one of these two.
Open Am chord and single notes on D and G string, somewhere between 9th and 15th fret.
Single coil pickups.
 
It wasn?t the springs in the empty battery compartment, and it didn?t resonate when using headphones.
Probably something mechanical, I guess it?s due to the cramped/small housing enclosure.
