  • This will have been discussed - forgive me. I'm after an amp for practice - largely with headphones - maybe a little recording. Looking at the following:
    -Blackstar Fly 3 Bt - tiny - would get some use as a bt speaker in kitchen but fairly sure i'd be disappointed in tone for practice.
    -Blackstar ID Core Beam - an alternative to a Yam THR10
    -Blackstar HT 1H - proper valve head with speaker emulated out - best for tone ? nice and compact but only headphones - could ad cab if i want later.
    -Yamaha THR 5 / 10 - always seemed like a good option to do everything and sit in the living room looking nice-ish
    -Boss Katana - there's a mini one and big one - seem good
    Anyone any advice ?

  • have you looked at the positive grid spark amp? I'm not in to modelling amps or anything, I like my stuff hella old and crusty with valves preferably but I've been considering one of these for a while, they look pretty good for the price

  • I have a THR5, the guitarists in my band both have THR10s. Really rate them for low volume tone, and I quite often use mine to plug into Logic and sketch out ideas in the living room, rather than getting settled down at my 'proper' studio setup

  • I’ve got a Blackstar Fly 3 watt mini amp.
    Mains lead is missing, but driving on batteries. It actually sounds okay

    Where are you based?

    I've just got the Boss Katana Air. For a little practice amp, it's good. But, the wireless plug thingy is great for just picking up a guitar and playing. And being able to walk to the fridge whilst still playing in another room is bliss.

  • I got the Fender GTX50. Like the Katana but better according to reviews. Get the 100 version and you get a foot switch too. It’s bigger and heavier than the Blackstsr Fly or Spark. I açai picked up a Fender Champion off FBfor around £30 and it’s a nice too.

  • I have a Yamaha THR 10 (1st generation) and I use it most days. It’s a great sounding amp at low volumes and surprisingly takes pedals well.

    I haven’t tried the amps so I can’t compare the features, especially as my version of the amp doesn’t have Bluetooth. But for indoor volume and sound/tone I’d recommend.
