I agree with you
Hey Elmo . Thanks for all your videos . There has not been one I didn't LIKE due to your excellent playing (with sometimes humorously intentional upward-looking crossed eyes) . I totally trust your opinions , and feel comfortable making gear purchasing decisions somewhat based upon your content . Cheers mate from Australia ...
People tend to underestimate the importance of a practice amp. And you NEED a good one, something that’s going to try and produce a good sound and fit easily in your life. It doesn’t have to be too expensive, but it DOES need to at least allow you to experiment effectively. It’s your audio paintbox. Great video, professor. 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Indeed, 90% of the time I will play my practice amp instead of my helix/Kemper/tube amps just because it's much more practical.
well put.
I picked up the Blackstar Fly a month ago to use on vacation and became so enamored with it I bought their Debut 50r to replace my Katana MK2 50. I know most reviewers don't seem keen about the Blackstar overdrive but I think it sounds great once you get the ISF and gain where you want it. I play both amps every day, cheap pedals to go with, no software, no firmware, just plug and play pleasing tones. Totally became a Blackstar fan as a result.
Shout out to the Roland cube, underrated.
I was ready to pull the trigger on a monoprice (Harley Benton), but ended up buying the Marshall DSL1 for convenience. It's a very nice amp. 0.1w for apartments is ok. Good thing I like it is the lack of features. Plug and play, no dialing knobs every time trying to find a better tone. More time practicing.
Absolutely. Less fiddling, more playing.
For me, the Fender Mustang GTX series is the best modeling amp that exists, and this is for several reasons:
First and foremost, you can control everything from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. On top of that, the application is beautifully designed, intuitive, and very easy to understand, unlike the complications you might find with Line 6, for example.
The price is very reasonable, even if you opt for a more powerful version.
The amp is lightweight.
Thanks to the headphone jack, I can connect it to my large JBL PartyBox Ultimate, which results in an amazing sound experience.
Even updating the combo is done via Bluetooth through your smartphone or tablet once the amp is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Fender has truly understood what users need. They have excellent presets already installed, it's simple to understand and controllable via mobile, even the updates are easy. It's very lightweight, and thanks to the headphone jack, you can connect it to a high-quality sound system. This results in what I believe is one of the best sounds, since 90% of the sound quality comes from the speaker more than the amp itself.
Your videos are enjoyable and helpful. Long time player here. After about a week of researching practice amps, I decided to get the Spark Mini and couldn't be happier with it. The technology and the sound that comes with that amp is incredible. Cheers!
Glad to be of help :)
Excellent presentation, sir! I have the Stage Right version of the Harley Benton 15w that I run through a HB 2X12 with Celestion V30's and it sounds glorious. Glad to see that it made your list. Love the playing, as always!
Thank you :)
Thank you Elmo this video was a big help as I just started looking for a new practice amp.
Glad it helped!
After 45 years of playing Guitar for my taste the Yamaha THR 5 is the most versatile, good sounding on low volume practice amp. I can take it anywhere bc of battery usage and its very light and small. Also use it for USB Recording for wet and DI signals to my Macbooks at home and on the go. They made a good invention back in the days :-)
I like your stuff Elmo. You are a kind of rare diamond - honest and straight forward - not often to find on youtube or real world…
best from germany
Vielen dank 😊
35 years here. I too keep the THR, but it's the 10W version. I've bought two, in fact. I use the "Modern" channel for pedals.
A few weeks ago, I inherited a Vox Mini Go 10 and it's a great little amp which is seeming to be very versatile. Runs on a usb power pack, too!
Cool!
I plan to buy new practice amp tomorrow, happy to see your list
Glad if I can be of help :)
The Boss Dual Cube lx can be had under €200. It has FX, presets (custumizable) and line outs as headphones with volume. I love this little amp. The amp on its own (built in speakers) sounds boxy/small but with line outs/headphones it is a serious amp! Runs on batteries as well as come with power supply.
If you need something bigger I'd also check on Champion 40/50xl and Mustang LT50 (all 12" speakers with 50xl Celestion).
Super vid elmo! Thank you.💥💯💥
Cheers!
Really appreciate your honesty
I appreciate that
I have Boss Katana Mini and Black Star Fly3, great Amps, i'm happy with both of them
Cool :)
Living room player here... I second your opinion about MicroCube, it's my couch pet.. No matter what I bring instead of it, I always come bac to to good ole Ruland Cube... However, BlackStar HT1-R Mk1 is the second one I want to recommend. great little tube amp, 1W only, one trick pony but it does it great-the only amp I can max and still be quiet enough. Best wishes from Sarajevo !
Cheers!
Used to practice at a rehearsal complex, and I would bring my little amp. The guys in the next room were a heavy metal band with 2 guitar players, and they both used 2 - 100w Marshalls each! They had lights, drum riser, the whole state production. Needless to say, we had to make sure they weren't there when we went, because they were so loud, we couldn't hear ourselves...🤘
Haha 😂
Yamaha THR amps are the obvious omission. I have the 10X. Maybe the Boss Katana GO now.
Complete beginner here. I like my PG Spark GO, it is so tiny I can clip it on my strap and use it with headphones or in the garden, and if I want loud then just plug it to the home theater. Fun to experiment with it and to get a little bit of knowledge about what pots do what kind of difference in sound. Only thing I really dislike about it is that there is no firmware-update support for iPadOS, so I need to find a PC every once in a while.
I have the Tube 15 because of Elmo’s review on it,and it really is a good amp.A few months ago,I got the Marshall dsl1 head and mx112 cab,which is also great,but I’ll swap out the speaker to a v30 in the near future.
It sure is.
I love my THR 10. One of those amps that make me want to play all day.
Cool!
My practice amp is an Sound City 120 made in 1973 & a Park 4x12 cabinet. It sounds good to me😊
I use a roland street cube 2x2 watt, only clean (,the rest are demaged on d panel). I also gigged sometimes with... Nux mighty lite..
Still bedroom practice with my original Roland Micro Cube. At least 15 years old. My regular amp is a 25 year old Mesa Boogie DC-10 100/60watt 2x12 combo.
Yeah, I still use mine as well.
Cool list! Personally I've been using a lil Smokey since 1999. It's about as perfect as you can get. Clean, dirty, no controls to mess with, will drive a cab and fits in your shirt pocket all for under $40.
Cool!
I’d like to recommend the 30w Jamstack 2. It’s also pricey, but that thing sounds WAY bigger and fuller than an amp of its size should sound. You can pair multiple JS2 units for stereo or surround sound (one unit is also capable of stereo with its speak config), it works with nearly ANY major app on a phone or computer for tons of tones (in addition to its own app), and you can store up to 8 tones on the device, your can record the audio directly onto a video with a mobile phone (great for social media) and use the device as an audio interface for a computer/phone. I have tried my friend’s unit, and I was utterly floored at how tasty it sounded. It’s so good that it can even be heard over a crowd at a large convention center from a nice distance away (I’ve seen demo videos showing this) - it gets super loud and is very clearly audible. I think you can gig with it - possibly on its own (whether one or several paired) or mic’ed up depending on the situation. You can also use it as music and TV audio speakers when not using it on your guitar. But overall, the tones are just totally tasty for an amp of its size. They also have a bunch of ways to mount the amp and accessories. There’s more features I’m probably forgetting, but have a read at their spec sheet - it’s not just impressive on paper, but it totally lives up to its potential and is WAY better than the first Jamstack (which still wasn’t bad as practice amps go).
Cool 👍
Nice comparison review and good point about some some amps "papering over mistakes". It's true, if it "sounds that good" one tends to rest on laurels not work at it. Where I live it's headphones only if I want reasonably loud guitar tones, and what other kind is there, really? I have a Quilter Superblock UK, DI out sounds awesome with phones. Just got the Katana GO, a bit too fiddly but great tones on phones with all the Kat amps and most of the BOSS pedal sims.
Have to try the Katana GO.
Heads up GO depends heavily on the Bluetooth phone app for settings. Check out the "Stage Feel" options.
Fender Mustang LT25: I have it and I do NOT like it!
I started playing guitar 1.5 years ago (at the age of 55) and bought this combo. At the 4th lesson (1 month), I noticed that the tube combo (Bugera 55 Watt) of my teacher responded much better to my playing (still bad). I bought a Behringer HA-40R (=analog transistor), that responded as well as my teachers combo. I blame the digital processing of the Fender Mustang LT25, the latency. I don't hear the latency, but I feel it.
I have understood that a lot of players don't have problems with latency. In fact, you have also latency on stage when you walk away from your amp.
On all other grounds I praise the Fender Mustang LT25: sound, features, no app needed and the price.
Just a month ago I upgraded to 2 BOSS KATANA-MINI's, yes, stereo. Just for the fun. Setting both delay's on a very short but different time gives reverb.
Fair enough
Hi Elmo. Great fan of your reviews and humors! Could you please make review of the NUX Mighty Space if possible? This amp gives you a lot of bang for your buck and comes with everything. But i would really like your in depth review on the tones it can produce and whether to buy it. Many Thanks.
Maybe. Thanks :)
Spark mini all the way. Gonna get one soon...i hope
Used to have the micro cube i bought it around 2005? Or so.. was the best at the time.
Had the blackstar fly also for a period of time...didn't like it so much...
I think I heard "lick it up" by Kiss at 03:00 🤘
I have a NUX Mighty Space and and a Spark Mini and both sound very well to my ears.
Cool!
Just got the Spark Mini. It's class! I would like to have both a mod and eq slot (that are shared) but can't have it all.....
Another very good alternative I think as practice amp are one of the joyo bantamp head you already present plus a small cab such as the orange ones for micro Terror. For arround 250 euros you have a good practice stuff , better than a lot of combo in that range price.
I LOVE the Spark mini and pedal. I don’t care what anyone else says. I have had SO MANY random people come up after gigs (yes, I use it for live shows, like a personal monitor, but with a mic for the PA mains) and they are in utter disbelief that it is All that I’m using. I get compliments on the tone regularly. So… more than just a practice amp.
Cool!
I have a orange 20rt that i dont realy like (sounds strange with my pedals for some reason) and im thinking about change for something like vox cambridge 50 or a fender lt50. Tough decision?
Started guitar learning at 61 and severe hearing loss since birth. My first amp to go with my Squire Sonic Stratocaster HT was the Frontman 10g which I knew at the time did not have good reviews. Decided to buy it anyway as a learning experience and understand what it was or wasn’t capable of. My next amp I knew had better reviews and it was the Mustang LT25. The Mustang I use 99% of the time while I might plug in the Frontman 10g to remind me how bad it is. Although, if I wanted to make a silly video with strange sounds I might use the Frontman just to see how my audience responds to it, you’d never know?
The Quilter Superblock US and UK look like great options for practice as does the Blackstar Amped 3 I know they are not "real" amps but they seem to sound amazing 🤘
I bought a small katana for dirt cheap because the owner had lost the power unit, that you don' t need if you already have a small power plant for pedals ( harley benton does some cheap and really effective ones ) . Its really lightweight and sounding quite nice, perfect as a travel unit !
Cool
Second hand Marshall dsl 5, replace speaker with 10 inch celestion greenback. You can modify enclodure and put a 12 inch speaker too. However for room and practice 10 inch greenback is fine. Best amp post speaker mod.
Cool bananas :)
the Positivegrid SparkGO would be the ideal travel practice amp (I use it with a Traveler Guitar light electric) and the Yamaha THR series rocks since inception for their polyvalence, sturdiness, 8:40 and look, even if pricey, they are worth a check. There are plenty more, just try a few and pick one.
Any thoughts on the VOX ADIO? Great video
Thanks! Not a fan of the Adio.
loved the microcube for many years. But 2 key features on the spark mini, the fly 3 and many others now make it seem just too outdated by comparison when it comes to the outdoorsy carry around thing...
1- mains recharging instead of buying/changing batteries..
2- Bluetooth..
Never thought i needed either until i got used to having em!
I still don't need them. They're nice to have, but not essential for me.
I have the Roland Mirco Cube, and it is a great amp. I want to get the larger version if I can find one for a decent price. For my 50th Birthday, I did get a Boss Katana Air, and that is a great practice amp also. Just the price is a little high. If you can get one used, that would be the way to go. Or you can get a Boss Pocket GT and a Roland Micro Cube for a lot cheaper than even a used Boss Katana Air. If you want the Katana Air, but for it to sound great and have external output jacks, get the Katana Air EX, but the price is brutal.
Recently I bought a new Boss Katana Air Ex Wireless Modelling 35 watt Amp and I am happy with my new beauty.
Great to hear!
@@MrPolevaulter ❤️🙏❤️

Just the video I wanted to see as I'm needing to buy a new practice amp. My ancient marshal 30w mgdfx finaly packed in after 15 years. One was very emotional😢😢😅. Think I will go for the Harley tube 15 and upgrade the speaker. Thanks for the vid. How about a top ten amps to avoid.
Maybe.
where is live you can get the Fender Mustang lt25 used for very little. Great first amp in my opinion.
True.
Grabbed a Boss Katana 50 mkii for about 150 US about 3 years ago. Been a fantastic practice amp at low volume but when you have the chance to turn it up it can get plenty loud and has a lovely clean sound
Cool!
@@MrPolevaulter love your playing btw and appreciate your honesty in your reviews 👍👍
Thank you, Elmo!
Would you recomend Boss JS-10 for beginner?
Maybe you can propose other better or more affordable option for jamming alone?
I don't think I've tried that, so can't say.
@@MrPolevaulter Thank you for the honest answer!
Even though you don't tried it, it would be interesting to hear your opinion on the "jam station" concept combining compact amp, processor and backing track creator with easy key/tempo change?
And yes, I agree with your point from your other reviews, that packaging different features doesn't make sense if the quality of at least one of them suffers.
Actually, it would be great if you'd make a video about what use cases would be beneficial for self learning via jaming. For ex. looping, backing tracks, availability of key/tempo change, instant guitar tone for particular backing track or genre, etc.
Also good to know your opinion on which develops better - learning famous licks to backing tracks or jaming with "instant composers" like Band-in-a-Box or similar?
I hope you get the direction of my thoughts 🙂
I’m wondering why you left out the Orange Micro Dark which you had positively reviewed in the past…
I’ve got one and even with the 8” speaker sounds really good.
Cheers
It's a head. I didn't include any heads.
I use for holiday a good big battery Bluetooth speaker. Then put a nux mighty plug pro into it.
Sounds great and you got the speaker for stuff later
Just bought a blackstar debut 50r. Goes from 50w to 5w. No on board effects but reverb. A plug and play amp. Looking forward to getting it. And it cost about $250 US
Cool 😊
You are recommending Cort G110 guitar and there is beginners kit sold in my area that have that guitar with Cort CM15R amp - is it any good?
Don't know.
Roland cube mini is good, but for similar price you can find cube 30x or similar size amp.
I have the Bugera V5 and although it's quite good as an amp, it is too dark - sounding - UNLESS you use a pedal with an equaliser, such as the AC tone or the American tone from Harley Benton/Joyo... Trust me, it's not the 8" speaker that is to blame... This is why I find my Fender Champion 40 more useable, plus I can gig with it!
Fair enough.
I own the BOSS Katana Mini it's a brilliant little amp , that will surprise you the sound you get out of it , and 7 watts this little bugger is quite loud, the other amp I did own and regret selling was the Fender LT 25 it sounded great , when I first started I had that Affinity Strat which was brutal and that horrendous pile crap the Frontman 10 it just sounded terrible, then I had the VOX VTX20 which wasn't bad but let down by the poor speaker and outdated USB port, I'm more than content with the Mini , living in a flat where I have to be cognizant of the noise levels the mini works perfectly , I would love the Marshall DSL 1R I don't need the aggravation of people complaining of the noise I would like to see how the Mini deals with pedals , nothing major , Compression Pedal, and Noise gate, just naming a few you don't need a gain pedal the brown sounds works fine, I like to lower the volume and up the brown sound , always great to hear your reviews and opinions Elmo , it's honest , there is some out there makes you wonder who their working for , I would ask you Elmo have you or anyone you know students etc used pedals with mini if so which ones, cheers !!
Cheers! I think I might have in the review I did. Maybe a boost or overdrive, can't remember. You could look that up.
Hey Mr Elmo which of these would you recommend Orange micro dark terror, Joyo Jackman II or the Friedman be mini? I mostly play metal and a bit of blues and 70-80's music, I hope you can reply ✌🏼🇲🇽
Jackman.
@@MrPolevaulter thanks, I appreciate it
Hey! Stevie Wonder's binoculars really impressed, back in the early 70s. Where do think Sir Elton got the idea for those big glasses?
🤣
I have TWO " PRV Audio 8MR500-NDY v2" speakers, 16 ohm series, on my 5 watt tube amp.
I had to do some pre-break in, but they sound great and are amazingly loud ( 100 db 1w/1m 2x8 ) ... modified Zeus Drive > OA-H05 tube amp > home made 2x8
there is no better practice amp in the world, than my custom built, IMHO .....power amp breakup with a large plate 12AX7, I am going to use it for recording also.
Cool bananas 👍
I really wanted to like my v1 bugera v5. Installed a jensen c8r speaker as well. Just was so dark even with a pearly gates humbucker split. Kept it for 12 years or so and sold it. Im sure all it needed was an eq pedal. I need a practice amp now that I live in a duplex with shared wall. None of my amps have a headphone out and also sound kinda bad at low volumes. Monoprice 15w and crate v33 tube amps respectively
I bought the HB15 to play with my Gibson Thunderbird at home and several of my friends thought it was a shame. But every day I fall in love with this sound. I tried with a powerful speaker but for my living room it's really not necessary, other than making the walls collapse.
you could make a new baffle board for it that fits a 10" or 8" speaker....keep the 12" baffle board stored, it would take up little space ..... an 10 or 8 is a quieter speaker, and has much better high frequency dispersion ( sounds better in a room by itself )
I would make an 8" baffle board for practice.... a " Celestion Eight 15 " is only 40 USD....just make sure you get the correct impedance ( available in 4, 8 and 16 Ohm ) and don't crank the amp all the way, when you have the 8" in it.
one amp, two baffle boards, and it could fill every role.....I would get the 16 Ohm EIGHT 15, and 9 to 12 mm plywood, and some grill cloth.
the difference between a G12M Aniversary, and an Eight 15, is 4 db ( the 8' is 4 db quieter....and will sound better, with no PA, in a room )
a lot of people don't realize, that without a microphone and PA support, a 12 inch guitar speaker sounds Horrible....where, in the same situation, an 8" guitar speaker will sound so much better.
I have a Quilter practice amp. Very good
Cool
I know this video is about practice amps so my opinion is probably invalid, but I think a decent audio interface and headphones plus an ampsim is also a good option. Especially if noise is a concern. You can get some decent tones if you invest a few hours into understanding the signal chain with amp sims. Think this is a great option while saving for a decent amp. My two cents. Love your content.
Cheers!
I’ve got a $250 budget and am looking to pick up a new amp.
I’ve currently had my eye on the Orange 20rt Amp. I would love to hear why you have the opinion on the Orange. Most have spoken highly of it and on reviews it sounded great. Was ir poorly made or something?
(Btw, My pedalboard is sadly gonna have to wait a little.😂)
Have you ever owned a Pignose 7-100? I have the Spark mini and original Roland Micro Cube. I love all the amps but the Pignose sounds the best.
Never tried one of those.
HB Tube 15 for me!☝️
joyo
I have 2 marshall ds 1 hr head units and 2 katana go's....I have a few different cabs I can choose from....those are my practice amps...
Cool bananas :)
Have you tried the boss katana go?
I feel like that might be a great contender for this list.
Not yet.
The Harley Benton has Laney internals, their name is printed on the board. It's their Cub model.
Yeah, I've heard that.
I use a line 6 amplifi 75.
No Supro amps? I just picked up a Blues King 8 and I love it. A 1 watt tube amp, perfect for playing in my apartment without pissing off the neighbors.
Haven't tried one.
How is Fender Champion 20??Great review BTW
I sell you champ 50 XL for cheap
Thanks! Haven't tried that.
Everything sounds good with added overdrive. Don't need to hear it with the overdrive pedal. That's not the way it gonna sound when im having it.
Mustang III v2 for me. Dated but at £75 complete with 4 and 2 button pedals, I rather like it but am not a high gain player as a rule
Cool 👍
Thanks for sharing Elmo. 🙏✌️❤️🎶🎼🎵🎸😎
My pleasure 😊
What about the Fender Frontman 15? Any good?
I have a video on that one. Not good at all imo.
I have had a Roland Cube for many years. More than ten years, maybe 15. Not sure.
Still my favorite amp.
It is brilliant.
Hey Elmo, didn't you checked the Nux mighty space?
Roland Jazz Chorus 22w .Expensive but worth it.
The Bugera sounded lovely.
Haven't tried one.
Which is best for blues and classic rock ?
Maybe one of the valve amps.
There comes a day that you can see the light, maybe tonigth! 🙏
😂
Hello First i want to Change Speaker in My HB Tube 15 with Celestion V Typ your Opinion.Sorry about My English
My luthier friend changed it as well.
Is it plugged into your computer and comeing out of different speakers as you've got the pulse at full volume 😮
No
A very beginner here... and I choose Positive Grid Spark Mini and a used Behringer GM108...also bought a Sonicake Matribox II and 2 pairs of wireless transmitter/receiver.. very happy with it. Absolutely no cable and no "noise". Perfect.
Cool 😊
I would really enjoy a video about why you choose to use a scalloped fretboard and the pros and cons of a scalloped fretboard. You don't see a lot of guitarist using scalloped fretboards and I'm curious as to why. Thanks.
I do have one of those, bit it's pretty old. Might redo it.
Put free amplitube on your phone, buy a used irig for $35 and plug it into your boom box, speaker bar, or headphones... where else can you find that much for under $50?
Been an on and off beginner for a while, and without a doubt the Fender Frontman is just awful. It made me want to NOT play, and once I found an amp I liked it was the total opposite. The amp made me want to play, maybe more than the guitar did. I'm still pressed for time and still very much a beginner, but much happier now.
Nice 😊
What amp is making you want to play now?
@@jfo3000 The Fender Mustang Micro. I just needed something portable that could take earbuds or headphones that didn't cost a ton. I was surprised by how good it sounded. Thought about getting the BOSS version, but it was a bit more money and seemed a little too complicated for what I needed.
6:36 mikä biisi tää on, niin tutun kuulonen mut en saa päähän, onko gunnareita?
En ole itse asiassa varma. Soitin jotain ja se kuulosti tutulta 😀
@@MrPolevaulter Nyt hoksasin, ei ollu Gunnareita mut ei kaukaa liipannu: Hollywood Rose: Anything Goes.
Hi Elmo, I've got an idea. What do you think about upgrades video? For example if you have roland cube what you'd upgrade it to? I think it would be cool to see your opinion for possible upgrades.
Upgrade in terms of practice amp? Probably nothing. In terms of gigging etc, there's a ton of options.
@@MrPolevaulter I meant upgrades in general, like what to buy after boss katana etc, tons of options is the reason I'm asking for a video. It's easy to miss something truly decent.
Дякую за огляд!
👍
I will give that Harley-Benton Tube 15 a likely " best all all a rounder " ... for the price, definitely.
a G12H Anniversary would do the trick....that could push a pub.
Great amp
@@MrPolevaulter yeah, it has a 1 watt mode, an effects loop, and the G12H is a 100db 1/w 1/m sensitivity speaker that someone could step into latter.
I approach this topic from a very different perspective than most...
"My sound" is based upon a pedalboard that can plug into any amplification system I desire. It centers around an analog preamp (sansamp) and a digital cab emulator (2 notes). From there it's matter of NOT using a typical guitar amp but rather an frfr type amp or virtually anything including a home stereo system, genetic powered speaker, ECT.
The beauty of this is I have the same core sound no matter what I play through which for me is the ultimate practice solution.
My go-to for great responding super portable compact practice is the VOX Audio Air with my pedalboard plugged into the auxiliary input (bypassing all the amps own emulation).
So my approach is to find wide range, flat response, and high headroom amplification systems because all the breakup, distortion, overdrive, gain, ect - comes from my pedalboard and I literally don't want to fight with typical guitar amps to get to the tone and response I live AT ANY VOLUME.
So the beauty of this approach is that I have escaped the "I need a better practice amp that sounds like my favorite amp which is too loud to actually practice with" problem.
It's not 1985 anymore we have the technology now. My best advice is avoid digital emulations preamps and go for analog FET based preamps (they respond identically - actually better honestly - to real tube amps). The bonuses of such an approach is HUGE. You sound becomes modular (via pedals), highly portable, and can plug into virtually anything and sound good. You then learn to love the high headroom, efficiency, ect of class D amps. In my case I no longer plug into my tube amps I have had for years.
amps i regret selling
- Vox Pathfinder 15. Amazing solid state amp
Thats it
I regret selling lots of stuff.
Yamaha THX5
