The Rivals
The idea of a living roomfriendly practice amp thats
also great for hi-fi audio
reproduction, home
recording and much more is
the THR ranges unique
selling point, but products
such as the Fender G-DEC 3
(329) and Line 6 Spider
Jam (351) offer serious
competition and some of you
may prefer a more traditional
combo configuration.
