Guitarists are familiar with the tube amp stacks that sound amazing when turned up loud on a big stage, and with combo amps that are a perfect fit for smaller venues and rehearsal. THR ignored the convention that a practice amp should simply be a smaller version of a larger amplifier, creating a new “third amp” category designed around what players need when they’re playing at home.
Yamaha’s patented Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology simulates each circuit down to the component level. By modelling these components and the interactions between them, VCM realistically recreates the nuances that give boutique tube amplifiers their unique sound and feel.
Three banks of five guitar amp models offer everything from shimmering cleans through bluesy overdrive and crushing high gain. Each bank also features a unique bass amp model, mic model for electric-acoustics, and a flat voicing without any modelling, for anything else you might want to connect. In addition, THR features dual circuits providing 8 natural, ultra-musical effects. One circuit handles stompbox-style modulation effects while the other provides delays and reverbs. A compressor and noise gate are also available via the THR Remote editor software.
The THR guitar amps were developed with Yamaha’s award-winning AV division to offer true hi-fi stereo sound. The exclusive, specially-designed speaker enclosure is optimized to handle both guitar and audio playback sound, making the THR uniquely capable of giving you amazing tone for both your guitar and your favourite music from a compact, portable amp.
THR incorporates Yamaha’s new Extended Stereo Technology to create a wide, spacious stereo audio image. Stereo tracks and studio-quality reverb combine to add a depth to your sound that belies such a small enclosure. The versatile sound and capabilities of THR amplifiers are reflected in an appearance inspired by decades of iconic amplifiers. Every detail of the design has been meticulously considered, for a form and style that fit perfectly wherever you play.
All THR-II models feature Bluetooth connectivity for audio playback, the “THR Remote” mobile editor app, and third-party footswitch support. They are also USB Class Compliant, allowing easy connection with PC/Mac and mobile devices without the need to install drivers, so that you can easily use your THR-II as an audio interface for recording. THR10II Wireless features a built-in rechargeable battery and Line 6 wireless receiver. Just grab your THR, your guitar, and a Line 6 Relay G10T transmitter (sold separately), and play anywhere your music takes you.
