To cut a long story short: The Yamaha THR10X is pretty much pedal to the metal on its five basic amp models, and is quite possibly the most impressive practice amp I have ever played through. However, the clean channel plus a RAT = instant doom. If you add a distortion or overdrive pedal to further boost the signal going to the THR10X, you'll get even heavier distortion. The sound of this little green guy is nothing short of amazing. The thing is - it reacts like a tube amp, plain and simple. While loud, I doubt it would be loud enough to stand up to any decent drummer. It cleans up with the SG’s volume just like my old Plexi Marshall, and with the gain setting at about 12-1 o'clock it roars like it too. On the Brown I setting (my favorite so far) it very much replicates the gain stages of a Plexi. The THR10X is born with some awesome metal amps built in. Just plug in, turn it on, and turn the knobs. No fussing around with computers or a million different settings.

First of all, it works like a normal amp. THR10/THR10C/THR10X THR5/THR5A EN JA DE FR IT ES RU ZH KO. So I bought a second hand THR10X yesterday, at half price, in mint condition to solve all this. However, for late night practicing both are simply to loud. Lovely amps and even on not earth shaking volume I could get some nice tones out of it. So for the last couple of years my home practice amps has been a Blackstar HT1 Metal and a Marshall DSL20HR through a 112 equipped with a Celestion Greenback G12M.
