I bought this as a training amplifier when travelling, which it is brilliant for. However, I would regard it a bit overpriced given that the sound is good but not perfect. The quality of the amp is very convincing but sound wise the Marshall CODE is way better but also much larger and heavier. One main advantage of the THR is the onboard battery which works for hours. What I really miss with the THR is the possibility to add modelled pedal overdrive instead of relying on the preamp gain knob.
