Yamaha THR5 Series 5W Electric Guitar Mini Amplifier

Think of how much time you’ve spent agonizing over your guitar sound; the countless hours spent tweaking and testing until finally you get the perfect expressive platform for your live performances. Why settle for less when the gig is over? 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 third amp revolution is sweeping the nation… don’t get left behind.

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 levels. And thanks to THR’s unique design and focus, stadium-filling volume isn’t a pre-requisite – everything about this amp is designed to fit the way you play, right down to the need to keep it quiet sometimes.

Most of THR’s effects feature VCM effects processors. Based on the technology used in Yamaha’s professional audio mixers, VCM effects give unsurpassed realism and quality.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.
