Members gergbee Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 I finally got to try out a THR10 yesterday and I am seriously thinking about getting one. I've been looking for something I can practice with at a low volume. All the stuff I have read about it has been positive but then I got to thinking, do I already have what I need? What would the THR10 give me if I already have:a Digitech RP350 that I use a lot for practice with headphones? a USB recording interface for my computer? an iPhone guitar interface? I know the THR10 would let me practice bass so that's one thing. It also seems easier to move around so it would be more convenient. But are those elements worth $300 considering I have that other stuff? Would I be better off putting some of that $300 into some speakers I could plug into the RP350? Or is the emulation/software/whatever far superior on the THR10?Enquiring minds want to know. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grantus Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 They're cool sounding little amps. I'd guess they sound better than either the Digitech or the iPhone interface. And since when is buying gear a rational thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit, that's a convincing non-logical argument. Plus, it explains why I have 9 electric guitars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jpnyc Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 It seems like the two selling points of the THR series are low volume and the convenience of not having the spend a lot of time dicking around with patches to get a good sound.

Members Jkater Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 I was exactly like you: already had an audio interface, a few modelers (including the a line6 HD400) and a mustangIII for practice. Well, guess what? My THR10 is turning out to be the gear that i use almost exclusively for recording, especially the "flat" setting is unexpectedly useful and perfect for recording my TD9 roland drum kit. I plug the left/mono output into the THR, put it on flat and it's awesome!. I go through the usb for recording and completely bypass my usual audio interface. I monitor through headphone directly from the THR or connect that to my powered monitors. I don't even think of the THR as an amp anymore, although it is one and works best than anything i have for really low volume. i f you want a lot more volume, the Mustang is the thing to use.

Members gergbee Posted November 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Very useful info Jkater. I don't need volume, I have an amp for that. The more I think about it, the more the thr10 seems to be right for me.Convenience/Portability (Can use it in different rooms in my house and there aren't a ton of cables to mess with.)Decent sound at low volume.Can use it for bass and guitar (beats out the RP350)Now all I need to do is sell an unused guitar for that little bit of extra cash...
