Came home with the "C" today. My first impression, it's not bad at all for such a little practice/modelling amp. |

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.  |

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.  |

I have the THR10X (heavy metal version in drab green) and it's great to have at home in a tiny room. |

Now THAT is how you look into product development - BEFORE you launch it and based upon what people are ASKING for. |

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. |
