This THR5 was once the best... but now other amps have improved.
"Still a great little practice amp but If you do not need the battery power feature, and you appreciate great tone and versatility of sounds, the bigger brother THR10 II is a much more versatile amp for not much more money. The THR 10 has 5 memory settings, it has software to fine tune the effects settings via bluetooth or usb cable, and it has 3 controls for eq. The THR 10 also has an improved low profile on/off switch that is not prone to damage, as the switch on the THR5. That said the THR5 is still a great amp for battery powered portability, but it is definitely ready for some updates to keep pace with other Yamaha models."

"This is an awesome amp. A bit on the high side, but in this case, you get what you pay for. First I tried the Blackstar FLY3PAKGREEN. Not a bad set up if all you want to do is hear yourself. I will offer my review on that product, but I would not go to it again unless ... that was all there was. On the other hand, it was just ~$100.
So, instead of two speaker cabinets, you get them house in one at twice the price. However, for twice the price I get 5x better quality and fun. I do travel for my job and take this with me on my trips. There are plenty of options for sound and I even run this to my acoustic amp if I really want some sound. However, with this by itself, there is plenty of sound. I have dropped this one *OUCH* but it has kept pumping out sound. I have to be careful when plugging in my acoustic guitar because I can get lots of feedback especially on the distortion settings, but not so with my electric. Since this is for travel, I don't take my acoustic. I use my Traveler Guitar for this purpose.
For as small as this is, it sounds really nice. Much better than I expected. The construction is a metal cabinet with a solid metal handle. It has a tuner onboard which is really nice. I used to use the power cord (no pun intended) to run this, but am using batteries. Alkaline batteries are cheap & I like not having the chord around so that I can snag it and drop it ... again."
