Yamaha THR5 10-Watt Desktop Guitar Amp & Recording Interface

Welcome to a new kind of amp...

The THR is designed to fit where, when and how you play when you're not on stage. With big amp response, incredible effects and hi-fi stereo sound in a package that's built to meet all of your off-stage needs, you're about to begin a new chapter in your playing.

Not a sound, a feeling...

Developed by a team of guitarists in search of the ultimate tone, THR delivers the sound that you want and the feeling that you need. Effects that enhance and complement your playing combine with room-filling reverbs and delays to push your playing to new levls. And thanks to THR's unique design and focus, stadium-filling volume isn't a prerequisite - everything about this amp is designed to fit the way you play, right down to the need to keep it quiet sometimes. With tone and feel like this, you'll appreciate the ability to keep playing all night.

Full-fledged recording with Cubase AI

THR's incredible amp models give the tone and response of a real amp, cranked, mic'd and straight into a mixing console - all through the USB or line output. THR comes bundled with Steinberg's Cubase AI music production software to make professional quality recording and editing with those tones just a click away. Utilizing the free THR Editor Software, you'll be able to create and modify the amp sounds with incredible depth.

More than just a practice amp...

When practicing is such an important part of playing, why should you accept a tone from your practice amp that's anything less than inspirational? With THR you don't have to, and the outstanding stereo playback sound will keep you playing harder, longer and later than ever before.

THR's combination of outstanding tone, flexibility and portability makes it the perfect backstage warm-up amp.

Ready when you are...

With THR's great tone, you'll want to play every chance you get. It's the only amp that will give you the sound you want, wherever and whenever inspiration strikes.

Your Third Amp

Conventional amps work great on stage. But what about everywhere else you play? Most amps are just small versions of stage amps - but how you play at home isn't just a small version of how you play on stage, so why would an amp based on that really give you what you need?

THR is the first amp truly designed to fit how you play off-stage. Everything you need is here: tones that push amp modelling to a new level, recreating the exact response and experience of playing a tube amp thanks to Yamaha's exclusive Virtual Circuitry Modelling (VCM) technology; ultra-realistic reverbs and effects to complement your playing and push you farther; and true hi-fi quality stereo audio playback that no guitar amp can get close to - all wrapped up in a package designed to mirror how you really play off-stage.

You have your big amp that sounds great cranked up to 10. Maybe you have your practical, smaller amp for rehearsals and smaller shows. Now you have your perfect third amp. The amp for everything else, THR. Prepare to spend a lot more time playing guitar...

THR Main Features

Designed from the ground up, every part of THR's design, from the preamp to the speaker enclosure, is focused on delivering the ultimate playing experience through a tone that belies THR's ultra compact size.

THR utilizes a newly designed amp-modelling technology using Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modelling (VCM) technology. VCM gives THR the power to model real amps incredibly accurately, with each control working and responding exactly as it does on the real thing.

Amp Types

• Clean: Rich clean tones from a 6L6 power section with gentle breakup for incredible jazz, blues and country sounds.
• Crunch: Low-powered EL84 class-A tube output with bright, clear, dynamic power amp distortion characteristics.
• Lead: Classic British single-channel tone. A combination of a low-gain preamp section and EL34s in the power section give rich, controllable distortion with great midrange definition.
• Brit Hi: EL34s keep the classic British clarity while a higher gain preamp allows you to push the amp into serious distortion.
• Modern: Ultra high gain input section combined with 6L6 output section delivers smooth, powerful distortion and awesome power amp compression.
