THR5A : Great little amp

7 years ago

I really like the tone of this amp! I use it mostly for a warm jazz tone with my hollow body, and it delivers.

I bought this piece mostly for outdoor playing, I recommend getting a pair of rechargeable batteries. I honestly can't remember how long a charge lasts because it rarely reach the end, but I guess around 6-8 hours.

The only issue is obviously the volume - it's meant for quiet/mid-volume. If you go high with the volume noticeable distortion will appear, especially in the low end. But jamming with other instruments in general works great, unless there's a loud drummer in the room of course.
