THR 5

Great tool. I have the POD 2.0 and I think this sounds and feels more Authentic. I have has this for one week and I think I am going to upgrade to the THR10 I am so happy with it. If you are looking for a great sounding desktop amp that sounds like the amps it models this is it. I am sure there will be much more downloads and sound samples in the future. This will be around for a while.

Great Bedroom Amp

This is an excellent choice for someone looking for a small, low-volume amp with great sounds to use at home. I don't play with high gain sounds, so i just use the Clean, Crunch, and Lead channels. You have much more control over the settings if you connect the unit to your computer and use the editor.
I use this for just playing at low volumes, and recording simple tracks into Garageband- it couldn't be easier.
It would be nice if there was a way to save at least a couple of presets like you can on the THR10, but other than that, i can't think of anything i would change about this unit.
