2 Practice amps for home and recording use

1st one. The Blackstar IDcore 10. Is a stereo tiny modeling amp with a totally professional sound that will fill up your entire room and sounds fantastic at whisper quiet tones. It has great cleans, the mid gain tones are just decent and the high gain tones are absolutely outstanding.
2nd one. The Yamaha THR10C. I bought this because my Blackstar just doesn't do it for mid gain crunch tones. Well... the THR10C does them in spades! Total pro sounding. It is so high quality and pro sounding that you really could fool anybody in a blind sound test.
2 great amps. The Blackstar is $99 and you could get it even cheaper online. The Yamaha is around $275 and worth every penny of it.

I got the Blackstar a few months ago. Best $99 I have spent in a long time. A nice, big, wide stereo sound for practicing. As a stand-alone amp it is amazing. Direct out & mic'd it does not sound sound as sweet.

I literally blow people away with mine. When you are sitting in my 14 x 17 rehearsal room with that little tiny dink of an amp you just can't believe how it fakes you into thinking there are speakers all over the room. The stereo delay is amazing. It reminds me of the first time I heard a Bose Wave radio.

Again... I can't say enough about the Yamaha THR series of amps. If my THR10C had a line out that I could take to the board or a power amp I would use it live.
Its the only thing its missing. It absolutely excels clean to mid gain and crunch tones. Yamaha did a fantastic job of convincing you that you are playing a tube amp. It actually feels like a tube amp. Its the only small modeler for home use that I know of that can do it. It also has a USB port so you can plug it directly into your computer and use the Yamaha THR editor. Then.. you pull up Youtube on your computer and the songs come right out of the THR and there is a mix control on it so you can balance the guitar sound and the Youtube. I use it with my Iphone. Fantastic.

The best thing about these 2 amps is there aren't a ton of features or editing capabilities. They really are basically plug and play practice amps.

Dude. Get a Stereo 1/4" cable and run it from the headphone jack to a stereo 1/4" input on the mixing board. Turn the volume up as high as you can without clipping the board inputs and go to town. If you board doesn't have stereo 1/4 inputs just get a Y splitter to run at the end and use two 1/4" mono channels.
