    I recently got an guitar, and I'm getting back into Punk Rock.

    I need an small amplifier, as I'll be playing in my living room.

    I tried the Boss Katana, but I wasn't to get a modern enough gain.

    Any suggestions? I was thinking about the THR10 II. It seems to have a modern high gain setting.

    I do like the Blackstar HT1, but I don't think it's enough gain for chuncky rythme.

    Budget is about 500-600$.

    I can't help too much with your question except to say that the THR10 II is a killer little amp. I got two. Nice axe, btw.

          Every kind, or pretty much

          Mostly Pop-Punk, but I listen to a bunch of stuff.

              Why not just use a bluez driver for your chunky rhythm?

                It’s all modded marshalls and dual rectifiers. Less gain than than you think, look for some isolated tracks on youtube. To be honest, the Katana should do it. We used to do it with Line 6 Spyders, but with the luxury of reflection, the tracks we recorded with a Marshall Valvestate sounded better than the Line 6 tracks.

                One of the modeling amps is a good idea, that way you get the tone, then can scale the volume.
                Oh no.....


                Oh Yeah!

                  Those bands are more Mesa Rectifier modern scooped style tones than the 80s punk on JCM800s and Seventies JMP/Plexi style punk sounds.

                    Right, I've been looking and looking.
                    I have a feeling I'll have to get a Rectifier 25.

                      Maybe a small cheap clean tube amp and a mesa v-twin pedal would be workable
                      Or tech 21 sansamp us metal or similar

                      Some kinda mesa-ish pedal for your base tone then you're like less dependent on finding the perfect amp
                      People charge a lot for that boogie type tone, except the bugera trirec was a cheap option
                      There's one of those hotone heads that is supposed to be rectifierish too I recall

                            Agreed, need a beat up LP Jr, or a trashed Tele

                              Rectoverb combo would work, and I see them often for relatively cheap (for mesa) prices.
