Lars68 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I started to learn to play guitar on an electric and a small amp. However, I mostly played the electric unplugged, because no matter what I did the little amp sounded horrible at low volumes, just totally lifeless and unispiring. Learning to play on an electric, I think, is a good idea for most beginners since it is easier on the fingers. I still have my electric gear, but very rarely use it these days. I normally only play acoustic at home to accompany songs I sing. So I have no need for for the volume level of normal amps. Recently I found this great little amp, especially designed for home use: It sounds great at low volume. So if you are like me and sometimes like to change it up and play an sing with an electric at low volumes at home, check it out. I like it a lot! It's a great feeling sitting in the sofa playing an electric with good sound at a low level. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hey, thanks Lars. I'm about to go in that direction myself and have been looking at the Marshall DSL1CR . The Yamaha is a lot more, if the sound is there. I'll be checking it out soon. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the THR5 version, which is a bit smaller and has more basic functions. It has the same sound and wattage. The main difference is that it has no presets, which I don't need at all. I find one tone I like and leave it there. Have a look at this: There is also the Vox Adio, but I just hate how it looks... :-) Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livemusic Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Very cool, just happened to see THR10 in a video yesterday, guy was playing a nylon string 'quiet' model Yamaha, which I had also never seen. The guitar doesn't have a box, it's just a frame. Sounded pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
