I have one. I love it. Here’s the thing fellow tube snobs, you’re never going to drive the tubes AND move air in a volume acceptable for home/apartment use. This thing models both and provides a real solution to bedroom players looking to not get evicted or wake the kids.

[@QuikdethDeviantart]

Fawkes & Hound right? Even my little Orange 🍊 Micro Terror is too loud most of the time, and it’s smaller than the Yamaha!

[@Nooneknows74]

Although mostly true, my mesa stilletto ace is 50W with 2x12 V30s and can be played at bedroom levels just fine while maintaining great tone. It also has a pre amp and post amp volume, so that helps tremendously.

[@GRequinBlanc]

Try a Z-brake

[@chrisegg7936]

agreed, I use high gain sounds a lot and I play SO MUCH MORE ever since I brought a THR home. It's invaluable, to be completely honest.

[@cameronmoore7675]

Is there a vibrato effect on the THR? If not a dedicated one, does the app allow you to change the settings on the chorus mode enough to get a vibrato sound?

[@sonicsaviouryouwillnotgetm6678]

I love how the affordable gear becomes more and more excellent. This means that you can achieve good and inspiring sound already at an early age and a sound you can grow up with.

[@simonlawson1024]

You are one on the finest guitarists out there. Thank you for the inspiration and ambition that you put out to us lesser mortals! Cheers

[@Hectorheroic]

You're right about the increased practicing. I own the original version and i didn't play the guitar nearly as much as i did since I bought it. My playing has improved out of sight because I use the aux facility to play along with KZbin backing tracks. Fantastic bit of kit, Bravo Yamaha!

[@FJB-NOW]

Sounded far better than I could have expected. Always great great playing, Chris.

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

Thanks for the video. I am a Yamaha junkie. I have the THR10, great amp, but the 30 is on my to-buy list! I also have two Revstars, and in total, 9 other vintage Yamaha electrics, and one transacoustic. Now to learn to play more than barre chords and basic open chords!

[@chriseklund3796]

Great video man. I love how you play! v musical. Keep up the good work and thanks for your time!

[@withcranes]

I use 2 THR-ll 30watt amps at once. One clean and one dirty. Because they are wireless, I can use as many as 6 at once. But they are incredibly loud so I use 2 and keep the rest charged and ready if I want to add more.

[@GuitarsRule08]

Whatever that was at 12:28....wow borderline loss of words with how beautiful and amazing that was.

[@philcowdall9399]

Hi Chris, the Airstep Lite is a footswitch which connects to the Yamaha ThrII and allows you to select your presets (and also control a bunch of other stuff too). Great playing btw.

[@paultwiselton1996]

As always, a brilliant, objective and neutrally positive overview. Thanks Chris.

[@ariefnugraha1294]

Great playing! Come here for a review, stayed and subscribed for the playing!

[@Herfinnur]

I think it's often understated how well the speakers are tuned for guitar recording, even disregarding the stereo image, while still being great (so great!) for use as an erstwhile bluetooth speaker. I've tried running VST amp modellers and synths through the speakers and miking it up with one microphone, and the colour it lends to anything is so much more musical and engaging

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Purchased a THR 30II (in black) = best gear purchase that I've made in a long-time. I love it. Gorgeous cleans and Van Halen tones.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

So Chris recommended the Revstar 502T to me so I bought one and have never regretted it for a second. Chris recommends the THR30ll so I bought one and yet again Chris was spot on as it’s better than I hoped. Thanks again Chris because now I have a set up that is a keeper. 👍🇦🇺

[@MotoLen51]

So true, I'm about to buy exactly the same setup. Now I just need Chris' hands.

[@hesch-tag]

@@MotoLen51 it's the brain that tells the hands what to do but I know what you mean.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

@@hesch-tag Yep, and my brain said spend your money on this gear and you have an inspirational set of gear. That’s the key to wanting to practice for me…👍🇦🇺

[@Furtheronmusic]

Thanks for the review. I'm really impressed and certainly considering a purchase.

[@kamakairade2402]

With the THR, the "external cabinet" would be a DBR connected to either the L or R out (or a pair of them). I run mine through an EMX7 and out through two 12" SBRs.

[@morganahoff2242]

12:24 Chris' playing just knocks me out. Look at that technique!

Chris, I enjoy these “worth the hype” videos. Keep up the up the good work. You’re guitar playing is inspiring too.

Been very tempted to pick up the 30 wireless...the battery option is very attractive. And they sound pretty good.

Very tasty playing... I enjoyed this video and like your gear reviews...

[@PJCobi]

I bought the THR10ii and couldn’t be happier! The amp is perfect for home use. It has a smooth distortion, not brittle. It’s very versatile, you can dial in many different tones from clean to super distortion. I highly recommend getting this amp.

[@elvarwinston]

How is it doing now after two years? I'm thinking about buying one tomorrow.

[@truckergilligangilligan5877]

​@@elvarwinston Did you buy one? If so what are your thoughts? In thinking of buying one tomorrow also... 👍👍😁

[@elvarwinston]

@@truckergilligangilligan5877 I did buy it and i think its really good! the clean sounds and slightly overdriven are too die for. but don't get the wireless receiver its total crap . i highly recommend to get the 30 version because of the line out

[@elvarwinston]

30w is as quiet as you want it to be i don't think it matters but the 30w can be connected to a computer which is amazing! it means you can record without mic and get all kinds of plugins to use with the amp and listen to what you play live in headphones while playing with backing track on YT with the same headphones @@tommysnurkerburger539

[@noahtenshen]

I got the THR-10 some years ago when the choices of which model was the conundrum. It costs the same now as then with a load more options, like the three way switch , making that choice irrelevant, and the downloadable sounds as well as the presets. It is quite a bit louder than one might think for such small speakers, but I like that it is portable, battery operated if needed, and works great in my office at work as well at home when a quick click is all I want to deal with. No warmup needed. It does ask me regularly why it has to produce my sounds as opposed to, lets say, yours. I tell it to be patient. This newer unit seems a lot nicer. The problem with buying anything anymore-- Give it short while it will be improved upon. Congrats on the first place by the way. You deserve it. Stay Well Groovy One.

[@davemassie3726]

Love your Tele!

[@betterbsure]

I have the THR10C and THR10X, both are brilliant on their own, but I use them often together in a WET/DRY configuration with an appropriate pedal. That's when they really shine, big and wide with great rock or clean sounds, plus four speakers and not two because of doubling the amps and still cheaper than this ONE amp. But I'd still like one...

[@marknachmias423]

I totally agree. It’s probably the amp I use most. Two observations… blue Tele and NATO watch strap. Hmmm

[@TeapotDaddy]

I'm going to be saving up for this amp since my Blackstar practice amp died, thanks for the amazing review and fantastic playing. Rock on!

[@ToniLivo]

I tried it out today even though I was almost convinced of buying it blindfolded through Thomann and thank god I tried it because it’s nothing like they paint it. I didn’t like it a bit, maybe I’m too used to tube amps at high volume but I really recommend you trying it up thoroughly...

[@TeapotDaddy]

@@ToniLivo thanks for the advice ^^

[@ssm445]

I took the Yamaha THR10II and the Positive Grid Spark to my teacher lately because he wanted to decide what to buy for himself as well as recommend to other students. He liked the Spark, but was completely blown away by the Yamaha. I personally like the concept of the Spark but it just doesn't work in the longer run. The Yamaha makes me practice a lot more. It is a matter of a couple of seconds to find a good or great tone and just practice or improvise over some Bluetooth source.

[@pikengren1]

that just made me think about different amps and sounds. and what makes me like or dislike an amp. in my search for a perfect tone, i can't find it because a. the amp has EVERYTHING and it will take me forever to find what i'm looking for. or b. the amp has so many usable and inspirational tones that you get distracted playing through the first tone you stumble on. i think i'll choose b. if it is going to take me a month or two to settle on a sound i like, i'd prefer it be because they all sound good, and it was hard to pick one. rather than always sounding "eh" until you can find the one thing the amp can do well. maybe its just me, but it has always seemed like the more crap they squeeze into these things, the less that they can actually do well. i plan on buying one of these. compared to the others, this one seems to focus on your beginning tone. if i can't play through the songs i want to play with a good tone i like, and enjoy it, i should not even be adding effects anyway.

[@ssm445]

@@pikengren1 that's right. Better have an amp that can do "less" but nails the sounds. It's the same with Multi FX like the Pod Go. I mean, these things are great, but having to look for the 1 overdrive out of 20 that sounds decent is just not what I want to waste my time with. Yamaha just hit the ball out of the park with the THR series. When it arrived at my home, I sold the Spark as well as all my multi FX units. I eventually bought the Pod Go (GAS!), which is great, but really, it is collecting dust.

[@lothar34]

"good chunk of wedge" I'm gonna have to borrow that one. lol

[@bristolfashion4421]

I done got one of them 10ii some months ago innit and to be honest I haven't stopped playing since ! For that alone, it was well worth buying. I'm still as rubbish as I always was - maybe a tiny bit better I suppose but the fun, oh the fun.

[@davidharding200]

There was a point at which I loved seeing Chris play a Tele. Now, thanks to CB, I’m a Revstar fan through and through.. and missing seeing him play the Yamaha.

[@ondmon818]

i have the 20w and it's fab , the only thing i miss is a univibe sound but can get close with the other modulation setting, it's an amazing amp.

[@mattd2381]

Chris, love the channel and your playing is inspiring. I’ve recently purchased a THR30II any recommended settings?

[@kayakttt]

Nice demo Chris, how about doing a video with dialing in your tones

[@EasyHeat]

Maaan! I'm a drummer & bassist by former profession, and guitar is merely a passion, but damnit man! Your right hand dynamics are just to die for! I can only imagine how keen a jam session of you and I would be. The hardest thing to do, especially on drums, is to play "softly" & then go full on! That's something that literally took me decades to accomplish. I'm now attempting that with guitar with variable results. Anyway... Just wanted to heap some praise on your obvious mastery. LMAO! Cheers!

[@megatrends]

I have a Yamaha THR10x and it is my main practice amp. I should add that I own several "Real Tube" amps, half stacks and combos etc. and the Yamaha small amp tone is amazing ... I am more than happy with it. I received it as a gift a couple of years ago. Everyone should own one geared towards their specific styles. I should add that I bought a Yamaha 100 watt solid state head with the same technology and hated the tone at large volumes and I opt for tube amps for that instead but this as a practice amp is the best I have ever used.

[@aarontudon0269]

Dudes such a solid drummer!

[@rickeymitchell8303]

Remind me of the alien from Men In Black that was at the postal office under the desk with hella arms

Thanks for the video! I am really thinking about buying one. Are the sound that comes out of the speakers IR impulse responses or does it sound like a real amp ( not miced speaker )? Greets

[@kevinbridger2989]

Great playing Chris! An honest and informative review (corporate sponsors etc..yeah..I know!!.we all gotta make a living like!). Cracking bit of kit it seems ..might get me one!

[@7775Kevin]

Nice playing. I like the sound of these Yamahas. Pretty versatile.

[@thejamaican67]

Simple answer is yes I have heard guitar bass Nord piano Wurlitzer and Nord Organ play through it it is unbelievable flexible

[@kenmyers67]

Can you use the 30 watt as a head and run into a cabinet? Newbie question I know... Also, what about using a PRS SE Piezo guitar with the Amp?

[@Dreyno]

I bought a Blackstar HT1-R a few years ago. Sounds epic for such a little thing. Huge sounding. Four knobs, one push button for overdrive and an on/off switch. All you (well, I anyway) need in a practice amp.

[@betterbsure]

I have one too, it's a cool little amp for sure.

[@akjl01]

Loving the Derek Trucks vibe..

[@truthfactreality6814]

Just got mine. Awesome amp

[@truescotsman4103]

ive ordered the bias spark im huge into effects and online resources available in the app and on the amp. the bais spark sounds amazing too. great stereo sound.

[@alfaalex101]

I was very excited to try one but it sounded very thin compared to the more traditional speaker box practice amps but I think the portability is a primary selling point of it.

[@crabbtrixexp]

i owned the original thr for a while, and didn't really like it, i went back to my pod 2.0 with headphones for practice, the amp tones on the line 6 are much better imo. I know the thr is not a pedal platform, but i tried putting pedals in front of it, and it just sounded shite. Though the pod doesn't act like a tube amp with pedals, you still don't lose tone like with the thr, i think the fuss surrounding the thr is just hype, it's nothing like a real amp, despite what reviewers say, that's just money talking.

[@Andrey1308K]

The best guitar gear i ever had. Line out great for gigs.

[@garyrose5211]

I use a Blackstar fly 3 with my own designed and branded drive and boost pedals for practice and writing songs. The sounds and volume you can produce out of the tiny Blackstar Fly 3 is amazing. I also have the extension cab that makes the Fly amp into a 6 watt stereo amp. The Blackstar Fly 3 is so portable and comes with Bluetooth option and emulated out/headphone and MP3 line in options, weighs nothing and can fit in a small bag.

[@christianlacheze3323]

I own a Fly 3 too (with extension cab as well). In my view it sounds much better (except in OD mode, which I don’t like) than the THR : I bought a 10c which I resold after a couple of weeks , due to the impossibility to extract any decent sound from it despite extensive tweaking.

[@MrBossei]

Christian Lachèze I too think that Fly3 sounds better than THR.

[@silentrabbit247]

As far as external outs for Cabs goes Chris, I purchased an easy ready to fit loom kit off ebay (terrymjohn) which just used electrical slide connectors. The only mod is to drill 2 holes in the side for L & R jack plugs. My THR 10 sounds great through 2 x 12 cab ! (2x 8ohm) Increased volume and bass response. Expect that the THR II 30 would sound immense, but not sure about its internal electrical slide connectors, or if any kits are presently available. So yes it can be done. Wish Yamaha would provide this in their THR series. From original site: ( Feb 2018 ) EASY FIT Plug-In wiring harness looms, connector plug, socket, and external speaker switching jack sockets. This kit simply plugs in to the existing connectors without any soldering or any cutting of the original internal wiring. Fits THR10, THR10C and THR10X, (and even THR5. See feedback comments below). Update; I have received very positive feedback and comments from previous users of the Plug-In Loom assembly. NB. One previous buyer has also actually fitted the Plug-In Break-Out loom Assembly to a THR-5. I have not done this myself but it is obviously possible although there is a less space inside so extra care is needed when fitting the jack sockets to the case. see comments on feedback lower down. Please send a message if you intend fitting to a THR5. The integrated switching jack sockets enable the internal speaker(s) to be disconnected when an external speaker cable is plugged into a jack plug is inserted into its corresponding external output socket, but the THR10 operates completely as normal using the internal speakers when nothing is plugged in to the speaker jack sockets. Fitting is easy! The special 4-pin loom plugs and socket, are direct fit replacements for the original internal connectors, and importantly, this means there is no need to cut or modify any of the internal wiring looms. Just disconnect the original speaker loom from the circuit board, and plug in the new pre-wired "break-out" assembly, and fit the jack sockets to the case side panel. It couldn't be easier! 1. Open the THR10 case. 2. Disconnect the internal speaker output plug from the circuit board, (you can also temporarily unplug the battery cable from the circuit board to separate the THR10 case into two halves completely). 3. Fit the two speaker jack sockets to the case side panel 4. Plug in the "Break-Out" loom male connector into the circuit board (now empty) speaker output socket. 5. The original internal speaker wiring plug (which was unplugged from the circuit board in step 2 above), is now connected to the "Break-Out" loom female connector. (So, the break-out loom simply plugs into the existing connectors. It's as easy as that! No cutting of the original wiring and no need to solder in longer wires etc). 6. Refit the battery wiring plug (if unplugged in step 2), and close the case. Full fitting Instructions will be included. . . .

[@silentrabbit247]

@100 Thanx for comment. It works for me, the stereo sound seems pretty good to me, plus like the extra volume and bass response, seems a little flat when go back to just the THR unit alone. Perhaps even better with the setup you mention. Either way the THR is a great little amp, especially with the speakers out mod. All best.

[@hesselvanderzee3473]

Love the cushion

[@simonnaji]

I have an older version THR10C and I'm constantly amazed how good it sounds. If it broke down or was otherwise lost to me, I would buy a replacement within minutes. I totally agree about the desirability of a looper function.

[@betterbsure]

I have both and I agree with you, in fact at the time of typing this, I'm playing my THR10C in the kitchen. It truly is a quality amp!

[@russelsheartinacage]

Is this the Vintera modified 60s model? Loved your bit near the end that sounded like Don't Let Me Down

[@pier6240]

Has a good quality as a bluetooth speaker for playing music from my phone? Nice vid cheerz

[@MK4vDubbin]

I had the 10x, 10c, and then the 30II. I recently sold the 30II. It had an issue playing with high gain where the amp would basically clip at half volume and up. I saw a few other users report a similar issue. My 10X never did this. It was really annoying and I had to let it go. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the firmware or the speakers themselves. The cleans tones still sounded great on it . Honestly I’d probably just grab another 10x and 10c if I buy another. Much cheaper and still have the tones I’m looking for.

[@benallmark9671]

I'm looking to use at low volume and I'm getting it for the battery use in case of a power outage. Which one between the 10 c and 10 mark 2 would you recommend ?

[@davidmerlin3344]

I own the older Thr10X and love it. You guys might also want to check out the small 30 watt Positive Grid SPARK. It looks and sounds amazing

[@JackR617]

David Merlin I have the X I use it to play my cell thru the speakers fir backing tracks or songs to play along with. The best Yamaha modeler imo is the 100hd. Sounds and feels great. Overlooked and underrated. It sounds better than the X. Just my opinion.

[@manhattanmike6959]

I'm still trying to figure out if I can connect my boss pocket GT to it? Any help would be appreciated

[@chrishyde1216]

Also takes pedals well. So if the on board effects don't suit your needs, set it to flat (or bass, which is even better) and add pedals. As there is no on board looper, I really wish it had an effects loop and, as noted, a speaker out. The absence of an effects loop led me to buy a Katana 100, otherwise I would have bought a THR30 ... so you lost out on a £500 sale there Yamaha! Surely these additions would not have added excessively to the cost or otherwise could be provided as extras.

[@randywarren6925]

How about a 1 year update on this little amp. Are you still using it. Have you gone online to use the interface. How is it holding up.

[@ryanwest8245]

yes, the thr10ii can play music just like a Bluetooth speaker and can play guitar thru it

[@Jonathan-L]

Nice chops at 1:33 :)

[@wyvernwood5675]

I have the THR 10C - and have been using it for the last 3 years (mainly through headphones or low volume, occasionally louder) . It's great at what it does but has some frustrating limitations. I would be interested to know whether the new version has fixed a couple of issues: The old one isn't particularly good with a looper - it can't really handle the combined signal and gets messy and clarity drops away. Does the extra headroom in the new one help in this? The old one isn't particularly good with pedals either - I guess it wasn't designed for them given the on board effects. But most pedals don't react anywhere close to the way they do with other amps (both valve and digital) - the Katana (I don't own one, but have tried one out for a bit) seemed to be better in this regard. Is the new one any different? I suspect not, because from what I've read Yamaha haven't really changed any of the underlying modelling algorhithms?

[@LilBoyHexley]

Not sure if you've seen the Anderton's review for this, but I believe your issues are addressed in that video. And they may have resolved the problems you mentioned with the previous version.

[@sandyturner1911]

I've had the THR 10x for years, and I use it everyday. Much easier to just turn it on and play. Would love to have one of these new ones, but I would have to sell some stuff, to get it. I'l probably use mine, until it dies. btw, you always sound great...Cheers!

[@PJCobi]

Sandy Turner I’ve had the older models and they’ve really stepped up their game with this new line.

[@sandyturner1911]

@@PJCobi Yes, I would love to upgrade, but it's a little pricey, for me. I would have to sell a few things, to get it. Maybe someday.

[@Diskomoderator]

Great amp, I‘m using a THR10II wireless. But Yamaha missed one crucial thing: auto-off on battery. It already happened times to me now, that I put my Tele with the G10T in the stand and the amps battery was down as I wanted to play the next time.

[@haus05]

if they made this in true wireless form (like my katana air) and included the transmitter id totally get one

[@dougbooth3161]

I currently have the THR10II for playing with at home. I love that I can take the amp anywhere in my house to play the guitar. Or take it to a friend's place. Anywhere! It does sound amazing too. If you try one out, I find that changing the "speaker cabinet" setting can make a very big difference. I don't always like the default cabinet settings, so do yourself a favour and play around with them. So many possibilities! Love it!

[@utube9000]

Sounds like a great amp. However, if you read the Sweetwater reviews, there are several reviews that mention a rattling / buzzing sound at even moderate volumes. Did you (or does anyone with this amp) experience this problem?

I've got a THR10II. No rattle at all.

Apprently it’s coming from the 4 bolts in front holding the metal plate just tighten them should be good

Just bought this amp. pretty much because of this review, and I'm not disappointed. It's bloody brilliant to be honest, except for one thing... has anybody else downloaded the remote app (to a Windows computer) and found it doesn't have the Bluetooth icon top right of the window? I can play music from my laptop on the THR via Bluetooth, but I can't control the THR from the app. I just have a USB symbol where the Bluetooth symbol should be. Can't get any response from Yamaha, nor from Yamaha's user forum. Any ideas anyone?
