If you have a cab already I can really recommend the new Joyo Bantamp range. I bought the Zombie version (Mesa Boogie clone) recently and it's one of the most astonishing little things I've ever heard.
But like everyone else says, you should probably just get a Katana, they are great.
I have two, a 10 and a 20, one in my bedroom and one on the PC and they are both excellent simple amps for dialling in a tone and thrashing away, plus they are stereo and pretty cool effects built in, I believe the v2s have an auto wah, which is always fun.
Also plug your phone in an its a little stereo as the speakers are full range!
What settings give the best nights sleep??
of are we talking a different kind of 'sleeping together'???
I'm amazed how good it is for the money.
Its very personal choice taste in gear.
You'll love it.

There is a 'Brown' setting for a reason...

so now I'm thinking get hold of a zoom G something or other and try and get a few sounds down
what d'ya think? as I say, it's only for a bit of in house noodling, then hopefully recording through PC
I saw those G1Xon are supposed to be good, but I'm also thinking G3 are ok too?
a good idea or what?
It is great for silent practice though, plenty of options. If I was still gigging I'd use a G3 though, partly because it looks more robust and partly so nobody laughed at my G1....
If it's just for bedroom noodling between the G1 and G3, I'd recommend the G1 just because it's so cheap and does 90% of what the G3 does.
I also have a THR10 which is great for just pickup and noodle (I run it on batteries just for the convenience of this).
Then I have my rack (GSP1101 + Laney IRT) for when I want to do something serious or record.
I probably use them all in these percentages: G1 10%, THR 50%, rack 40%
Obviously YMMV as they say.
as mentioned in a couple of other threads I've gone with the Boss Katana 50,
it's taken me a few days but I am now beginning to see some of its capabilities, and wow it's bloody good, the best thing about it is it seems to encourage me to try other things that I don't normally play. fantastic!!
still yet to figure out using it as an interface but that's probably going to be down to what software I choose probably, so expect another thread on that soon
thanks again everyone !
I'm not sayng the THR10C (& there are several other variants too) isn't a good, fun amp. I see the attraction in that it looks a bit different, is very small, light and to be fair sounds bigger than it looks. But its kind of like spending more money on a very light compact micro-lap top computer that looks cute and is very easy and light to carry round, but just doesn't have the processing power, features, and screen quality of a regular lap top. In other words, you're paying more for less. That's fine if that's your priority - but if its mainly staying at home on your desk and you need something more powerful with more features & a bigger screen, then you'll get better value, utility & connectivity with a 'regular' lap top.
The same is true re. your amp choice. Unless the THR chic look & size are important to you (and even then there are other compact alternatives eg Blackstar ID Core), there are a ton of more 'conventional' looking, less expensive and way better sounding amps out there with loads more options, and greater flexibility for both home and (should you need it) small club playing, including the Boss Katana 50, Fender Mustang I/II v2, Vox Valvetronix VT20/40X, Vox AV15/30, Marshall Code 25 (if you're a Marshall fan), Roland Blues Cube, Blackstar ID Core 10/20 etc etc
My Blackstar Fly is pretty fantastic and I use my little bugger for some rocking overdrive which Blackstar always shine at .Must try through the Fender .It should rock or even RAWK .
