I currently have a Fender Acoustasonic 15 amp that I use in combo with an iRig Mic Studio soundhole pickup on my ukuleles. I like it, but it's pretty limited in effects and controls (Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Chorus). I'd like to play around with different sounds and effects, but I'm really not interested in accumulating a collection of separate pedals/controls. At some point, I'll probably be adding passive pickups to a couple of my instruments. I'm pretty much a stay-at-home player, playing for myself (and my wife if I can get her to listen!) and my personal pleasure. I don't gig, busk, or any of that other embarrassing public stuff!
I've been looking at the Yamaha THR5A as a potential versatile tool. There are tons of reviews from guitar players but not much from ukulele people. If any of you have and use this amp, what do you think? Is this something that I'm going to have fun with or is it a piece of junk? Do I need a Ph.D. in electronics to get some nice sounds?
Thanks for the input and feedback!
