So whilst it made sense to get the 10 as the sounds are already in the box, as Soren expertly demonstrated in his video, and labelled under the right amp, I should be able to get the same crunchy tones by dialling down any of the 10X channels (even though it may be confusing to be switching to a Powerball to get country crunch) and so get to keep not only the Brown sound but have enough oomph for any students who want to play stupido-metal. However I can't shake the sound of the Brown II nor the killer tones Satchel got from his demo. I'll be teaching rock guitar - so expect to live in the hi-gain range most of the time with maybe some Hendrix, Vaughan and AC/DC tones thrown in.

The THR completely meets my first need (I went with the standard вЂvanillaвЂ™ 10 model).

Second, and just as important, if not more so, I wanted the same for home studio recording. However, I am not convinced I've made the right choice (or the wrong one). First, I wanted a home / practice amp that sounded great and also responded to the player like a (quote/unquote) real amp. If it was for me I'd get the 10X as the Brown II tone is killer but it's for teaching purposes and so the hi-gain on the THR does the job just fine. By simply dialing down big time on the gain knob, I was able to tame the beast and make this thing sound like a real plexi.

I spent 3 hours in the store yesterday switching between the THR10 and the 10X, unable to decide which to get. I've owned all three THR's and I found the X to have the best hard rock tones.
