I looked on the GC app the other day and saw several. Are they really that rare?

They are out there. There are a couple on Reverb, and there were two listed on Craigslist here in Portland, and I bought one. The other is still there, but listed for $200 (firm).

Yamaha THR5 is the definition of a small, modern, solid state practice amp for bedroom levels. There are few options, but I mostly don't use any of that stuff. Just get a good clean, semi-hairy, or dirty tone and go.

I’d second the THR 5. I have the acoustic version, and the Electric Clean mode gets me pretty much right where I like to be with my electric guitars…. Nice cleans, and when pushed, just enough hair to make it sound cool..
I don’t own one, but the Blackstar 50r is impressive and simple. |

I read through this thread again and there were lots of really good recommendations. I ended up buying one of the new Vox Pathfinder 10 amps in cream, a GC exclusive. See it here:
https://www.guitarcenter.com/VOX/Pat...%20Amp%20Cream It's a "dry" amp so I'm going to get a nice reverb pedal to go along with it. It should be just the simple setup I'm looking for. We shall see. |

Late to the thread but I recently hooked up an acquaintance who was starting out on the electric guitar guitar with an Ibanez S-type guitar and a little practice amp I wasn't using. The amp was an Orange Crush 12, that's the 8" speaker model the Orange Crush range (no reverb or other effects).
As I was demoing it before handing it over, I was really struck by how, at living room volume levels, it's got a sweet, slightly mids-forward basic clean tone that can be heavily sculpted with the three-knob EQ controls. And for a modest overdrive grind, the separate "Overdrive" control works a treat as long as you don't turn it all the way up. For the kinds of volume levels that type of amp is built to produce, it's really amazing what a nice piece of kit you can get for 100 bucks nowadays. And the inexpensive guitar (that cost $250 when I bought it new) was also a heck of a bang for the buck. I'm addicted to stereo amps and all kinds of delay and other pedal effects but for just sitting down and making electric guitar music, a little 8" solid state amp, a decently set up S-type guitar and some sort of delay or reverb pedal will do it beautifully.

Anyone try the Katana Go headphone amp? I just ordered one, should be here tomorrow. Seems perfect for my use case, tons of sounds, easy to use, comes with a tuner, can plug into cabs and combos, all kinda seems crazy for $120.
