Practice Amps Comparison

[Hamer95USA]

Its tubes for me, I am the type of guy that likes to just boost the amp and play with my volume, tone and pick attack. I have heard some really really great demo's of most of the amps mentioned above, but hearing it and feeling it are two different things. 

This is my vibe about amps after playing through a bunch of solid state practice amps over the years. I have a Soldano Astroverb 16 and both a Reverend Goblin & Kingsnake tube combo amps. I enjoy using my Fractal Audio FX-8 floor processor or throwing a bunch of stompboxes in front of the amps and getting the tone from my fingers/tone/pick attack. That being said, I wouldn’t hesitate playing through the new Roland Cube or Yamaha solid state amps, if I’m sitting on someone’s gig.

Just ordered the Yamaha THR. Got the THR5, the 10w version because it’s pretty much going to be used with headphones while the wife and kid sleep. That, and Paul Gilbert uses that one as a practice amp on the road and who am I to argue with Pablo Gilberto....?

will review when it comes in...
