This is really a nice small and very amp to use at home. Its very small and light weight, but despite that it sounds very good (stereo!) and has fine build in effects. Its main focus is acoustic guitar, both steel and nylon string. You can create a wide spectrum of sounds with various mic simulations that you can blend with the piezo sound and a tone control knob. Also an electric guitar can be connected, and that sounds very clean, and that especially is good when using it with external effect processors or pedals. And if you still want more, just connect it via usb and start the THR editor to change all parameters and even reveal more effects (phaser, flanger, tremolo, various reverbs etc) which are not selectable on the device itself. One big negative point, the amp is not very good in low frequency tones. Don't put up the low freq EQ on your guitar preamp, else the speakers start clipping when you turn up the volume too much. I also own a THR10 series amp and that one has far less problems with clipping.
