I don't get these computer-based amps. WIth Guitar Rig or Gearbox (I use a Toneport that I continue to love after years of use) you can get great tones FROM THE COMPUTER. Why would I buy a processor to use with my processor, I guess is what I'm asking?

I just got one that came with a guitar I bought. Not sure what to make of it yet...

 

The clean channel is typical Roland fare - awesome.

Crunch channel is good but has occasional weird overtones.

Extreme channel is super high gain and can overdrive the speakers making the amp fart out fairly easily.

 

Reverb and chorus are excellent.

 

I have a Yamaha THR10X that I've done a side by side quick comparison to and the Yamaha kicks it's ass for overall sound.

 

not battery powered

I was hoping for something on BOSS katana mini (Boss owned by Roland, right?). Even more spendy than THR . I've got THR10, not in love due to total shut down on batteries if push too hard and the effects go fro 0 to 100 in about 1/16" travel. Does sound nice, however

LoL My mom never smiled when I got the amp out.

 

The THR is a unique product particularly design wise.

This thing looks like a hotel bedroom radio / intercom.

It just feels like it was blando designed by a marketing team not musicians I'm not saying it is bad, just that the THR is special, it took practice amps to a new level.
