![]() There's a very narrow spot low down that just about works, but my playing isn't that fine, so a balance where it's doing what I want but not chopping notes is quite tough to find (I get you need to change levels for the tones, but jeez, leave the master volume alone, no? I am trying to play quietly sometimes and if you move to a new patch the hardware levels are changed regardless of where the dials are set. The smartjam on-the-fly backing tracks are a bit cheesy I hate that it has a block power supply, why can't these things be built in and just have a good old mains plug? The thing smells quite a bit, hopefully that newness will wear off ![]() The app is a bit clunky, and connecting to the amp every time you fire it up is a bit of a PITA THE DELAY BETWEEN ORDER AND ARRIVAL! (And the lack of ANY decent comms to tell you what is happening, although they seem to have realised now that they need to do better) I was surprised to find it comes with Studio One Premium, that's a decent side bonus. ![]() Both guitar and bass sound great through it, and I'm also using it as a keyboard amp in the clean channel. I've got effects and modeling coming out the wazoo with all the amps and multi-effects I already own, so that's not a selling point for me, and I'm still satisfied with the THR10 as a practice amp. The feature that I was most interested in was the chord analysis, but I imagined it would be spotty and not work 100% (like a lot of the tabs you find on the internet ). I think I'm going to take a pass on this. i usually don't play with a ton of gain on "real" amps but it seems like there's a lot of noise, and it also seems like a lot of the patches include a noise gate to counteract it, so it feels like you either have to live with the noise or live with notes dropping out constantly and seemingly kinda randomly.įor intermediate or advanced players it's not as much of a no-brainer. for simple songs it's probably good enough but you could probably have figured those out without the app if you've played much at all. It mostly works but misses a lot of chord changes, gets some wrong, and puts in phantom chord changes where there are none sometimes. it's kind of nice being able to tweak via phone/tablet app + bluetooth instead of via pc software + usb, but honestly i usually set up my presets and they are what they are, I don't fiddle with the amp knobs much once i find something that i like the sound of. I'm honestly pretty underwhelmed by the amp and effect choices, it feels like a pretty limited subset of what's available from those other (cheaper) modelers and i'm not sure why.
