Time to get serious about your off-stage sound

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.

Your sound, wherever you are.

Yamaha’s THR amps have captivated guitarists around the globe. The little amp with a big tone and a feature-set designed to give players just what they need when they’re not on-stage has finally proven that a gig or session isn’t the only place you should expect the perfect tone. And now that tone’s getting even better – the newly upgraded THR5v2 and THR10v2 feature enhanced cabinet behaviors such as multi-mic’d speaker simulation, for better sound quality with cleaner cleans and dirtier distortion.

Eminently portable, THR amps run on both AC and battery power, guaranteeing that you’ll sound great no matter where you are. Each of the five THR amps has its own distinctive sound, feel, and tone, with amazingly natural, sought-after tones on tap. From shimmering acoustic tones, soaring leads, crunchy power riffs, to all-out metal mayhem, the THR series has got you covered.

Built to ensure that you sound great and play better, THR amps deliver quality audio playback that allows you to practice along with external audio sources in hi-fi sound. When inspiration strikes, the integrated USB port means that you can lay down tracks effortlessly with your bundled copy of the renowned Cubase AI DAW software. For even more flexibility, you can download THR editor, giving you more detailed control of your THR’s tone, effects, and overall sound.

Whatever your style, whatever your preference, wherever you are, THR meets the offstage demands of guitarists across the nation and beyond. It’s not just an amp, it’s a THR.
