Related: About this forumYamaha THR30II desktop amp. Any of you guys ever use one?
I like the idea of a practice amp that I can just grab and jet to another room without dragging along my pedal board and losing the moment. But, even though I live in the suburbs of LA right up next to Orange County, I cant cant seem to find a store that has one so I can try it live. The shills on YouTube love it, but I swear all those videos sound like my iPad
lol.
So
anybody actually ever play one?

I got the the wireless transmitter, and that's nice too.
It's pricey, but it's a lot of fun.
Good luck!

(3,396 posts)I've heard that the speakers are the highest fidelity of all of the bedroom amps. I think some of the other ones have better app environments though.

It's only 7 watts, so it's not for full stage use, but if miked it would be neat for a jam night.

(3,001 posts).. it has 3 power modes. !00w, 50w, and 1w.
When set in the 1 watt mode (yes, one watt) it still cranks pretty loud.
!00 watt mode is for loud outdoor gigging. I cannot believe how great the Katanas are.
I also have a range of tube amps. Small to large.

(71,321 posts)A Mesa F-60 & a Marshall. (I forget the model, but it's 50 watt 2x12 combo, with a modest built in FX unit. I used the FX at a jam night when I didn't want to bring the rack or pedals.
At home, I just use the F-60, because it's up on a credenza and has a smaller footprint.
For bass, I use a Fender Bassman 400.
My keyboard rig was a QVC 360w/channel into 2 TOA 350Z cabinets.
I played keys more than guitar when I was still active in bands, which was 30+ years.
I had an Acoustic practice amp & a Fender Twin, but I gave away the former & sold the latter.
Somewhere around here I've got a Bassman 100, too. But, I'm not even sure where I put it! LOL!
Still have my keyboards & rack, but I only use one of them to record. It's 88 key weighted so it's pretty much all I need.
In case you haven't heard them, here's a sampling of my stuff. All covers, since I'm too lazy to write.
