Yamaha THR5 V2 Guitar Amplifier

Yamaha THR – It’s Time to Think About Your Sound Off Stage!

Think about how long you’ve worked on your guitar sound. Think about the countless hours spent testing and experimenting until you finally found an expressive tone perfectly suited to your stage performance. Why settle for less once the gig is over?

The THR was built from the ground up to lead the Third Amp Revolution – a new Yamaha concept designed especially for guitarists who take their sound seriously off stage and don’t always have access to elaborate studio or stage setups. Whether you’re warming up backstage for the next big gig, developing ideas with the band in a hotel, or just jamming around the campfire – the THR is the perfect amplifier for all off-stage playing situations.

This series of five portable amplifier models delivers authentic tube amp sound thanks to Yamaha’s acclaimed Virtual Circuitry Technology, wonderfully realistic effects, and HiFi stereo playback of tracks. No place is too remote and no sound idea too wild when you want to capture the creative moment. The Third Amp Revolution is sweeping the nation – let yourself be carried away.

Yamaha HiFi Technology

The THR series was developed in cooperation with Yamaha’s award-winning HiFi division to bring true HiFi sound into an innovative guitar amp. The exclusive, specially designed speaker cabinet is optimized for both instrument and audio playback and delivers equally astonishing sound for guitar and playback.

Your Sound, Anywhere

The exceptionally portable THR amps allow both battery and mains operation, ensuring you sound great wherever you are. Each of the five THR amps has its own unmistakable sound, feel, and tone, delivering fantastic natural sounds at the push of a button. From sparkling acoustic tones to singing leads and crunchy power riffs to the ultimate heavy metal storm, the THR series has you covered.

New, Enhanced Stereo Technology

The THR series features Yamaha’s new, enhanced stereo technology for an incredibly wide and full sound image. Stereo tracks and studio reverbs gain a depth that seems unimaginable from such a small device.

Dual Effect Section

THR amps feature two effect processors with natural and highly musical effects. One processor handles modulation effects in the style of stompboxes, while the other provides studio-quality delay and reverb. Both effect processors can be extensively edited via the THR Editor software.

THR Editor

The THR Editor offers comprehensive computer-controlled editing options for amps and effects. Additionally, compressor and noise gate functions are available. The THR Editor can be downloaded at https://download.yamaha.com.

USB Connection

For playback input, the THR offers both an analog AUX jack (e.g., for connecting a smartphone) and a USB connection for computer hookup.

Cubase AI

THR comes with Cubase AI, Steinberg’s professional music production software, for full-fledged recording and editing.

Tap: Metronome / Hold: Tuner

The tap function allows easy setting of delay times. The built-in chromatic tuner works precisely and reliably and features an easy-to-read display.

Battery or Mains Operation

Thanks to dual power supply, THR amps can be powered by mains (power adapter included) or battery.

THR Session

THR Session is an iOS app optimized for THR. You can slow down songs without quality loss, change pitch, or loop parts of a song. This makes learning even the most complicated guitar parts easy.

It’s even possible to remove the original guitar from a playback – as if you were playing a session with your dream band! This app is the perfect toolbox for today’s guitarists – combined with a Yamaha THR amp it creates an unparalleled practice environment.

Virtual Tube Glow

The illumination of the THRs is staged by simulating an orange tube glow behind the metal speaker grille.

THR – More Than an Amplifier!
