Members Misha Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 I thought it wouldn't sound good because we rarely rave about Yamaha amps for guitar but then I gave it a try: I love this little thing! (And it looks better than my... toaster!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a good product too! The only downside is that you can look a bit tired at the office in the morning because you don't want to stop playing at night!

Members billybilly Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 (And it looks better than my... toaster!) lol, That alone makes me want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I didn't have really high expectations, but the first time I heard one, I was pretty blown away. They're a lot louder and better sounding than the packaging might lead you to believe. I could see it being useful not only for practice, but even for recording purposes. Congrats, and HNAD!

Members Misha Posted May 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thank's DeepEnd! Now I just have to wait for the end of my working day! I'll be off for one week and I'll have time to play, even outside with batteries,if I want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Misha Posted May 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thank's a lot! The amp makes me practice more because it's very easy to get a good sound out of it (even at low volume). It results in more playing and less tweaking! I haven't even tried pedals with it yet nor connected it to my PC. I just play/practice! It sounds good with a Godin Freeway Classic (I got one labelled as "prototype" and the action is very low and easy on it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knotty Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 Nice bit of kit but I back to backed it with the Blackstar id Core. And I bought the idCore.Personal preference. Enjoy your new amp. HNAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted May 16, 2015 Members Share Posted May 16, 2015 HNAD!!! I happen to have one, and LOVE the little beastie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted May 16, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have a preconceived idea that Blackstar amps are only for metal. Maybe I'm wrong!? I would at least like to try a little Blackstar Fly-3. Next time I feel like getting a new pedal, I should give these amps a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted May 16, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thank's !! Right now, I wish I would be playing with it. But it looks like I'm officially starting my week off by an emergency at the office! Geez... Well, it will pay for the amp a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted May 16, 2015 Members Share Posted May 16, 2015 Glad to hear how much you like the little amp. I've always been intrigued by them. Congratulations and enjoy the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted May 16, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2015 Merci beaucoup, gardo! I left the office late at night after the emergency at work but vacations finally arrived at 2 am !! No party though: only a good night of sleep! I plan to play guitar a bit. What I like to do is watch guitar lessons on the net/ Youtube !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted May 29, 2015 Members Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have one too and really like it. It's my bedroom nightstand amp. I like its tone capabilities, size and features. Only complaints are when it starts to get farty sounding when the volume gets up and they're not cheap. But I'm tempted to also get the "Classic" version as well. Don't know if I will, but I'm tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jarl Sigurd Posted May 30, 2015 Members Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have one too and really like it. It's my bedroom nightstand amp. Only complaints are when it starts to get farty sounding when the volume gets up and they're not cheap. I own the original THR10 model and the high gain THR10X model that came out a couple of years later. It seems like I can cover just about every amp tone in existence that I care about with just those two amps, and the tones are pretty damn convincing in a sort of hi-fi recording studio kinda way. Otherwise, it sounds farty when you have it dimed and running on batteries. If you run it on the AC power supply, there are no such problems. You really only need to turn it up to 2 o'clock to be living room filling loud. I play either of mine at 10 or 11 o'clock and they are more than sufficiently loud.
