I don’t understand why most reviews are based on the pure topic competition rather than thinking also what you can buy with that money. Please subscribe mate
Nice playing! You did a fine job of helping people understand the differences. The JC22 is a bit heavy to move around all of the time, but I’m glad that I have one.
I Love my THR30II (in black) - Best gear purchase I've made in years. It has Killer tones (if using the app). I get Fender Princeton-like Cleans and Van Halen tones. Phenomenal little amp. oNe LovE from NYC
Nice comparison fra👌🏼 I got a thr30ii and was looking at the jc-40 for playing with pedals and i like that it has built in distortion. What do you think? Is it worth getting it?
TheSpaceGuitar, For weeks I considered whether to choose the Yamaha THR30II Wireless or the BOSS Katana Air EX. I purchased the Yamaha. A few days later I returned it. Why? It was the cream version with a white dot on the bottom and, thus, it needed an update. And when I attempted to update the Yamaha via USB, I found it was ‘not’ compatible with the latest macOS, Sonoma. Note: I see numerous people are having this same issue-and with no help from Yamaha. Now I’m considering the BOSS Katana Air EX again. Thanks, TheSpaceGuitar, for the demo, yYM
Thanks my friend for the comment. Please subscribe and follow my channel. The Boss Katana Air Ex is a great platform, but it’s harder than the Yamaha to dial in great tones. Other than that it sounds more like a proper amp than a toy.
Just same situation here! I have just purchased a Fender Player Plus Stratocaster SSS and ordered a new Boss Katana Air Ex Wireless Modelling 35 watt Amp. I think Boss Katana Air Ex Wireless Modelling 35 watt Amp wouldn't disappoint me.
Appreciate the video so much❤ I have a humbucker guitar and a boss super overdrive pedal now, do you think the JC22 is good for me to play blues at home？
I appreciated this comparison. I have a THR10C, and have been wanting to get something along the same lines, but with an FX loop, and that can handle fuzz and distortion. I'm still deciding between the JC-22, JC-40, or something like the discontinued THR100HD, or a Quilter Aviator Mach 3. Living in an apartment is also a factor, so I appreciate comparisons between the Yamaha THR line and the Roland JC series.
Thanks my friend. I love Quilter amps, in the same price range check also Henriksen amps. Also DV mark Little Jazz is a good competitor. Please subscribe 🙏🏻
I tried the 20 and the 40. If you don’t have trouble with loud volume go with the 40 sound fuller and thicker than the 20 not a huge difference but it’s noticeable side by side. If volume it’s an issue go with the 20 then you will enjoy it more and will deliver a better sound at low volumes
I have a THR5, while even smaller than the one reviewed, it really struggles to get around 80bd without using gain, and that in turn will saturate your clean tone.
I have the JC-22, could I ask how you run the LineOut on yours - what do you connect it to ? I have connected mine to a M-AUDIO Fast Track USB Audio Interface which then connects to an iMac, where I use GarageBand to record. However the audio is so tinny and flat - any ideas ? It is the same in Logic Pro
Make sure you're connecting to a line level input, not phono or mic. Also, make sure your interface will accept a single ended signal. If not, you'll probably need to get a direct box to convert the signal to balanced. I'm pretty sure you have combo jacks that supports 1/4 inch and xlr connectors. Those type of connections are not always the same. For example, the xlr input may be for a balanced mic input and the 1/4 input may be for balanced or single ended line level. Your owners manual should have that information.
I had first and second generation Yamaha thr, boss katana mini and nux mighty lite bt. Played on boss katana air and positive grid. Now I have nux mighty space. In my opinion, mighty space is the best portable option. I'll give Yamaha second place, since it is the easiest to set up a good sound.
@@TheSpaceGuitar For my taste, Yamaha has the best sound in the portable segment. At nux mighty space I managed to repeat it, which is saying a lot. Promotional price for nux $300, includes a wireless transmitter, a high-quality two-button footswitch that works with a looper, drums and presets, built-in batteries, cabinet output! Competitors simply do not have such a set. There are no questions about the sound, the variety is at its best. Hello from Ukraine)
Just the spark go. I think positive grid has the best app in this specific market, but the cabinet of the classic model is a bit boomy. I’m intrigued by the new products
Roland C22 difference, No battery power. Yamaha THR30 , 15 watts on battery power. Boss Katana Air EX , 20 watts on battery power. Desktop, home amp, and / or portable is user defined.
If you can handle the fact that the JC22 has no battery power option, then you have your best option. The best battery powered amp is the Yamaha, because the Boss last just few hours with AA batteries, so few times that in the end you use it only connected to the mains. Price wise the JC22 is a proper amp, the Yamaha is the best looking, better sounding amp…The Boss has a very long learning curve to achieve its best. Please subscribe
Saw in another comment that you sold the Boss. So even though it sounded better than the THR, I assume the Yamaha won for you because of how much easier it is to dial in good tones?
