Yamaha THR10x + 2000w Cabinet!!

[@fjaviermont]

I know this is an old video, but thanks for helping me finally settle for a practice amp that I could also double as a head for my 1x15 cab! Got mine for $180

[@louistorres]

@@fjaviermont One of the best practice amps I've ever owned! I'm glad you got one, and Merry Christmas!!

[@fjaviermont]

Thanks man! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@GardenBoy4U]

After seeing this I went in my studio and plugged the Yamaha THR10x into my Hartke HD500 bass combo amp via the headphone jack as you did here and it totally worked.

[@louistorres]

Crazy right! I'm glad you tried it, bro! Now you can use it for low bedroom levels and for the times you want to play a little louder! :) If you subscribe, you'll be #4444!!!! Lucky numbers!!

[@LennySugiono]

I can’t believe this video exists. .. thank you so much dude !!!

[@louistorres]

Hahahaha! Bro, I'm always trying to figure things out with gear! Glad you found it and don't forget to subscribe! I've got tons of other fun videos you would like! Happy Thanksgiving too!

[@philgraves4998]

Question, can you go out the Yamaha's headphone jack into guitar pedals then into the Headrush! Use it similar to an effects loop for time based effects?

[@petrosgaliatsis3530]

great video. I have the THR5; I guess I can plug in the headphone jack a pair of desktop active speakers, right? like the Edifier r1280?

[@InTheSh8]

F0 43 7D 10 41 30 01 06 00 06 F7 via Midi Medic and you can switch the cabsim off in order to go into the return of your amps plus cabinets.

[@charlescollison9207]

best gear reviews on YT... keep 'em coming bro!!! \m/

[@codsterguitaristHD]

Definitely sounds awesome, been looking into the headrush stuff for some time

[@louistorres]

You'd love it but there are SOOOOO many options that you'll get lost a bit. Kemper guys have said the same to me, so you'll find your favorite tones and the rest will just be fun tones.

[@kokica777]

Hei Louis. Did you get a "thicker, fuller, deeper" sound with a bigger speaker? Wider range frequencies? Thanks.

[@louistorres]

Definitely more lower end frequencies bc of the larger size, when comparing it to its smaller brother, the FR108. It also holds up well at louder levels without any brittle signal.

[@nathancloud6344]

Is that Head Rush loud? Glad there is a way to external play.

[@louistorres]

It's loud-esque. Lol. I'm sure in a laboratory, it's 2000w. In my personal opinion, since I use it weekly, I'd say it's a good 150 watts, when comparing it to my Mesa 412 cabinet.

[@Ricky0450]

Do you think it will work in this method: yamaha thr30ii line out > power amplifier > 4x12 cabinet?

[@louistorres]

To be honest, I'm not sure if it would run out to a poweramp. I've never tried it.

[@terryschrock9866]

What type of cable did you use to run from headphone out to the headrush and what input on the headrush ..i have a qsck122 i want to try it out on

[@cmeimgee]

I don't play the same tones you're demo'ing here (which sound amazing by the way) but in my opinion for cleans, the Yamaha portables + powered speaker will blow the Katanas out of the water. I played with an Artist (gen 1) for over a year, struggling to get something that sounded good at home that was easily modifiable to be good for the stage. Was in the studio this past weekend with multiple amps to try and ended up recording almost everything with the little THR30's line outs and it sounded incredible on the rough mix. Even the engineer was impressed. This got me researching how to possibly use the THR30 as my only amp, even for live / stage use. Of course --- just send the line outs to a powered speaker and my THR30 becomes a THR1000 (lol) or whatever wattage I want. I can't believe in everything I had read online about the THR portables up to this point, I had never seen anybody talk about how great they are into a powered speaker.

[@wstn7938]

This is awesome. I’m still waiting on my THR 30 ii. I have the headrush gigboard with the 112 frfr speaker. I like my headrush but feel like I get option paralysis. Two many amps and effects I feel like it’s hard to make a good tone versus something with a few delays and reverbs with one knob adjustments. Maybe one day I will use my gigboard more but for now I don’t think it’s convenient for bedroom practice so I’m pumped to get the THR. Can’t wait to plug it in to the frfr speaker. I also read online that the new THR will allow 3rd party Bluetooth Footswitches which I already have the blue board so once it shows up I will see if it will work. On the thr app it has the option to assign different effects and presets to different foot switch buttons so will will see. I’ll let you know if I can get it to work. Sorry for the rambling. Love your channel 🤘

[@louistorres]

Omg, I totally agree with you with all the options but that's sort of the fun part, I think. I have my set tones and the rest is playing around! I can't wait until you get your THR, it's amazing! And mine is the older model! I guess yours has two outputs for powered cabinets.

[@cmeimgee]

Hey Wstn, I was curious how the THR30 and Headrush 112 worked out? I just tried a basic 8 inch monitor with my THR and it sounds great. I'm really encouraged and excited to try a bigger speaker, and have a good local opportunity on a used Headrush 112. Any thoughts? Like do you wish you had a 108?

[@ultimatesteve]

i jjust got a 10x used on facebook marketplace for 150. i was looking at getting a thr30ii for a while but couldnt justify the price and ended up going with a line6 catalyst instead. now that i got the thr10x i dont feel like playing the catalyst anymore, even though it definitely sounds bigger.. something about the thr i just like playing through it.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Have you ever tried the THR30II?

[@louistorres]

I have not but I'm thinking of getting the Spark amp.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

@@louistorres Hey, I have the Spark AMP and it is very amazing! I am debating whether getting a THR30II or a THR 10X. People the 10X sounds "Beefier". Thank you.

[@louistorres]

@@AngelMartinez-qs3cf I read that Yamaha changed things quite a bit after the THR10x, as far as voicing goes for the heavier tones. Maybe they were too heavy for the average guitarist?

[@rioace3953]

Hey bud, can you confirm that all the audio in this demo was picked up by your camera mic? (not from DI) Thanks

[@louistorres]

All audio 100% captured using the mic from my Samsung Note 9 phone. I plugged the Yamaha right into my Headrush FRFR112. In another video, audio also captured with my Note9, I run the Yamaha into my Mesa 412 cabinet. :)

[@rioace3953]

@@louistorres Thanks bud, Feliz noche del Jimador

[@jeffsmiley3213]

Possibly the best practice amp ever created!!! Worth every penny! Only negative.....you might end up playing it too much. Lol. If that’s even a problem. A friend of mine has one and plays it 90% of time....and he has a Fortin Mushugah amp. Chug Chug Chug!!! Love it!!

[@louistorres]

Jeff! Hahaha! I agree with you and have also fallen into the same, "issue." This all I've been using lately!! Hahaha! I will plug it in whichever room I'm in and play for a while. : ) It's so easy to use!

Congrats on getting 5 beards on Fluff's rate or roast my rig! Is that pic of you in the process of setting up this rig!??😉Seriously though why did you have a grinder going on in your playing area and not your shop area besides being a totally crazy badass!?

[@louistorres]

Hahahaha! That's literally from one of my episodes that someone must have taken a screen shot of. Haha! I still don't know who sent it to him! Hahaha! I was using a grinder on a piece of metal that I was going to use on a rack enclosure. The corners of rack enclosure are usually rounded out but this thing was a 90° angle, so I needed to round the two corners. :) Thanks for the praise on the five beards! Fluff really is a good dude.

[@geraldelsbree9999]

Yeah also forgot to let you know they also have a mobile app hand operated for the amp all controllers and effects as well as 10 different cab sims such as 1x12, 2x12, 4x12 and 4x10’s and like 6 voicings such as vintage, modern, boutique, British and so on and the Cubas -I is downloadable in app like function and they broadened the sound fills a large room sounds so much better but still having trouble parting with my thr 10x had is so long I record all my stuff on it killer little amp even did my KZbin one man scratch demos on it and my producer guy thought I already had the tracks touched up or produced great channel bro a fellow Puerto Rican as well as a fellow New Yorker come on forget about it lol !

[@candlemasus]

How about to make a compared the THR Vs Yout Peavey 5150 ..!

[@kojam1]

KWESTION: Hard to tell on videos..but does the HR at all 'color' the sound of the TH? Is the sound reproduction out of the HR similar, same, way off, from the TH (when used with the HR)? Inquiring mind wants to know. Hurry man! I been waiting 2 seconds for an answer!

[@Anthony_J]

Maybe a stupid question, but what type of cable do you run from the amp into the back of the headrush? Thanks!

[@louistorres]

If it's the THR10x then just a regular guitar cable, since the Headrush is powered. If I use my Kemper or Headrush pedalboard, I usually use an XLR balanced cable. :)

[@gibsonguitarplayer]

Freaking awesome!!!! I was wondering if this was possible! Just subbed.

[@hutch3d]

Is the sound still in stereo with this setup ?

[@louistorres]

Mono with one speaker. Although I'd love a second FR112, to run stereo, I don't think I have the space to put it. If you have space, get two and run the chorus in stereo! That always sounds great!

[@metootube30]

@@louistorres even the reverb is stereo on this THR10X and sound awesome!

[@EamonBJWyse]

Searching for a video like this for a while, thanks :) So, loud enough through a power amp for gigging, I'm guessing?

[@louistorres]

Yes sir! It's shockingly loud and the craziest part is how great it sounds at lower bedroom levels. It's such a great little rig! Glad to share, brother and subscribe if I made you laugh! Happy Friday Tequila Night!!! :D

[@EamonBJWyse]

Louis Torres awesome. Happy Friday and I’m hitting the subscribe button.

[@iancrespo_]

any update gigging with it? looking into investing in one myself!

[@geraldelsbree9999]

Oh reason for the two outs is so you can run true stereo also run true stereo effects such as reverb , chorus , delay etc. etc.

[@louistorres]

That makes sense! Reverb, chorus, delay would sound incredible since I find that Yamaha/ Line6 killed it with their digital effects on the THR.

[@geraldelsbree9999]

Hey my brutha not to burst your bubble but the new thr 30 is has not one but two outs that run 1/4 inch speaker cables for 2 powered cabs ! But never knew you can do it with the older one ?

[@louistorres]

I haven't even looked at their newer line! That so great that they have dedicated outputs for them! On this o model, the headphones output is a 1/4" jack that works great but you're stuck with just one. I'm sure people requested two output jacks and they did just that, in their newer models. :) It's a pretty amazing practice amp.

[@geraldelsbree9999]

Louis Torres Yes Sir !

[@jasonjeske5744]

I used a quarter inch splitter for stereo output to my altos312 monitors

[@louistorres]

You are the man! Didn't think of a 1/4" splitter for stereo! That's perfect!!! Hahaha! That's so great! Thanks for telling me!! :)

[@cbosmooth]

Any way to run it out stereo to 2 headrusbes or monitors?

[@louistorres]

This was the older model but I think the newer model has output for two cabinets.

[@charliealexander5197]

Looks fun af!

[@ThePaocha]

Hello sir what is the name of the cable you are using to connect it to the external speaker? Will it work with 1). Blackstar HTV 212 MKII 2 x12inch Speaker Cabinet 2). Marshall Code 212-E Speaker Cabinet

[@louistorres]

You need a powered speaker/ monitor.

[@ThePaocha]

@@louistorres i am sorry i didnt know the difference between speaker cabinets and powered speaker Lol

[@CorpseChords]

Hey, Louis!! Could I use this Speaker to run my Neural DSP plugins into it from my interface to the speakers? Thanks. I'm looking for a 1x12 Cab solution or do you think a 1x12 would be better?

[@louistorres]

Yes sir, you can use the Headrush FRFR112 as an alternative to dual monitors BUT don't forget that it's just one speaker. With that, you won't hear the left pan/ right pan recordings as well bc it's coming out of just one cabinet. You can always try to find two used ones or buy two new FRFR112s but just know the Yamaha HS8 monitors are ridiculously loud and with two, you'll hear the two tracks much easier. Now, if you're thinking LIVE, then that's another story! You should then consider getting an FRFR 412 cabinet that companies like Mission make, for about $650. You should always consider two speakers you can place to the left and right, so you hear the combined tones simultaneously. Although I have my Headrush 112, when I record tracks, I always use my two Yamaha HS5 monitors. :) Hope that helps, Matt!! :)

[@CorpseChords]

@@louistorres Thanks for the fast reply, Louis! I Have 2 Rokit krk 5's Was looking for somethign bigger I cant get these speakers loud enough.

[@louistorres]

Try to get two Headrush FRFR112s and a stand for them. I think my stand was $45 and man, if you want loud, you'll get 2,000watts of deafening sound from the HR FR112!!! "Beast Mode Matt" will be your new name!!!

[@g43s]

Does this amp has a cab input?

[@louistorres]

It does not.

[@kiezersosay49]

FUCKnA Hell yeah man this is the exact setup I'm wanting to do. I already have a katana 100 which can be played in my apartment cuz you can switch it to .5 watts, but I want a good portable amp. I herd the hype for the thr10x is REAL. So good that I wish I could jam with it. It would be perfect to use it as a head and some type of speaker with power thats not necessarily a guitar amp. A PA system! My katana 100 could hang drums im sure, but in case I was in situation where I needed more I could get a badass PA and plug into that. Is thst particular headrush a PA?

[@eddie51502012]

Hi! Wow, sounds killler!! so amazing option! Another Ideas could be: 1) To use a Mixer between the THR10X and the Power monitor to mix an external effect like a Eventide H9 or something like that, just to add the loop External FX option in the THR10X. 2) Some guy told me that another option is connect the THR10X out headphones to the return loop of a guitar amplifier. My main reason to do it is because before I was using an Axe FX 2 with the H9 as external FX but I sold my Fractal FX 2. I really think the THR10X sounds much better than the Axe fx 2 to sound like VH brown sound. Be able to add whatever external in to the THR10X could be amazing for less money. (I didn´t do the tests yet because I don't have the mixer or amp, just the Eventide H9 & the THR10X) Regards!! and thanks for sharing

[@simoncab1362]

I got the boss katana air wanted full wireless and bluetooth app with all the festures of the katana artist 4 effects at once the ability to change sound chain cab resonance etc etc it sounds amazing and your video is helpful as i am looking at using a stereo jack output to a double xlr input on 2 headrush to give full stereo s ound with the stereo effects. This sounded good did it change the tone of the ysmaha when out through headrush or is the headrush pretty frfr? Is it much more bass and heavy out through the headrush.? Im looking at using katana sir with all its sounds as a gigging head cant see why it wont wotk has all the katana sounds in it just needs a volume boost.

[@louistorres]

The Headrush is neutral and doesn't change the tone of the Yamaha at all. It's pretty shocking and one of my buddies has a Headrush pedalboard and runs out to two HR FRFR112 cabinets and loves them. Go to Guitar Center and try one. They're usually available at most GCs
