Hey all - I know there are a few "whats the best amp" threads but figured I would ask owners for their thoughts on these 2 in particular. I do not have a lot of experience with Valve amps as I have been using POD's for noodling since I used to tour with my JCM900 head and 1960 cab back in the day. That is great, but I tend not to play as much when it takes me 20 minutes to get everything out, plug it in and everything as I don't have a dedicated music room.
I wanted to look at something valvey that can be used for practice and recording - that you can plug something into (mp3 player for example) but sounds good at home levels, that I can leave somewhere and just need a guitar and cable to get going - so 5 minutes vs 15.
I tend to play a range of tones but nothing hugely high gain - think Satriani to SRV, GNR at maximum gain. I am trying to organise a trip to a shop to play around with these next week Thursday - but thought I would get impressions as well off those who own them too
Thanks for the tips guys.

THR10...since getting mine I play so much more. It's in the living room (my wife doesn't mine it, but I had to go for the regular 10 not the 10C to keep her happy as she prefered the colour, so do I actually).
Sounds fantastic, the FX are pretty decent and for running an iPod (or similar) into it for learning/practice it's brilliant.
Great with headphones as well, but I use mine at 'TV' volumes most of the time, which it's perfect for.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Back to the OP, i had a ht5 till recently, while it was decent and the clean channel took pedals...well...cleanly, i didn't find the actual drive channel offered much variety. But the sound it did make was very good, i suspect my opinion was ultimately based on me wanting something else haha. Quite big though, which may be a factor depending on your living arrangements.

Very good result but you do need some kind of monitoring as its internal speakers are muted when using headphones.
