Yamaha THR5 10W compact desktop guitar amplifier

Introducing the Yamaha THR5 10W compact desktop guitar amplifier

Designed from the ground up to be the perfect amp for when you're not playing live, the THR is at the forefront of the “Third Amp” revolution—a new concept from Yamaha aimed specifically at guitarists who are serious about their off-stage sound, and don't always have access to an elaborate studio or stage setup.

Whether you're warming up backstage for the next big gig, brainstorming with the band at the hotel, or just jamming around a campfire, the THR is the perfect amp for everywhere you play that isn't on-stage.

This five-model series of portable guitar amplifiers utilizes Yamaha's acclaimed Virtual Circuitry Technology to deliver authentic tube amp sound, incredibly realistic effects, and hi-fi quality stereo playback, so that no location is too remote, no tone too elusive, for those moments when you just want to play.

The most portable of the THR amps, the THR5 offers a brilliant sound quality and great power, all in a smaller package. Perfect for use at home or when travelling.

VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling)

VCM effects are capable of capturing subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, going beyond simple simulation and delivering the truly musical performance that makes classic analog gear invaluable even in today's digital production environment.

Yamaha hi-hi audio technology

THR was developed with Yamaha's award-winning AV division to offer true hi-fi stereo sound and a new experience in guitar amplifiers. The exclusive, specially designed speaker enclosure is optimised to handle both guitar and stereo playback sounds making THR uniquely capable of giving you amazing tone for both your guitar and your track from a compact, portable amp.

New extended stereo technology and dual effects

THR incorporates Yamaha's new Extended Stereo Technology to create an incredibly wide, spacious audio image. Stereo tracks and studio quality reverb take on a depth unimaginable from such a small enclosure. HR features dual effects circuits providing natural, ultra-musical effects. One circuit handles stompbox-style modulation effects while the other provides outstanding studio-grade delays and reverbs. With the THR Editor software, both effects processors can be edited in incredible depth.

USB connection

THR's design provides stereo playback from your smartphone or other device through its AUX jack or direct from your computer via the USB 2.0 connection. What's more, THR's two-way power supply lets the unit operate on AC (PSU supplied) or battery power.

Fully-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. For more information about using the THR5 with Cubase AI software, click here.
