Yamaha THR10X amp demo - The Secret about my tone

[@ryancole696]

My main rig is an evh 50 watt head with a mesa 4x12 which I love but it's so big. For travel I got one of the yamaha thr amps and I am beyond impressed with the tones I can get. for anyone looking for a practice amp this is the only one you should consider in my opinion.

[@GregRickard]

Brown 1 is my fave. Plus the hall reverb just echos around the room beautifully.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

killer video man ill share you channel on my Facebook you should be at 100 shortly :)

[@CameronCooper]

Thanks so much dude. I am now over 100! I will have to share one of your licks on here soon to return the favor :)

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

***** no problem man just looked and your at 121 congrats dude :)

[@CameronCooper]

I cant take credit you did it for me bro, a little thank you vid will be up soon. Rock on! :)

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

thanks dude keep rocking man . My buddy Leonardo Guzman subscribed to your channel to check him out he is one of the best guitariest I’ve ever seen

[@CameronCooper]

I have seen his vids before i totally agree with you.

[@sshnrub]

Getting this for my birthday next week bro! No prizes for guessing what demo on KZbin inspired your purchase ;)

[@CameronCooper]

Hopefully my demo although it has been on for about 10 mins, but probably satchel's :)

[@royyazzie6028]

Revealing the perfect tones from a Yamaha THR10X I've got a 1978 amp it kicks ass yes with 1/12 spkr just love these perfection sounds that comes out of them🎸👍😎keep playing some good tones there

[@drunyon08]

Mine is on the way can't wait for it to get here. Great video love your playing wish I was that good keep it up!

[@CameronCooper]

drunyon08 Thanks so much I hope you enjoy it! I seem to be getting quite a lot of people into the THR10X and the THR10 range in general

[@drunyon08]

Cameron Cooper I really think it's a great deal for what you get. It sounds like it can and will be a great tool for anyone to use.

[@tiguy10]

i bought one last month so awesome and i bought a pedal too is custom made and gives you the possibilities to load 99 presets on micro sd the pedal connect to the amp via usb imagine the possibilities look for Patchbox68

[@nights0n]

Hi, I actually own one of these superb little amps and highly recommend that you do a video showing people the advanced functionality of controlling the amp via the USB connection on a computer. In case you haven't tried it our, there are several hidden effects available in this mode that you can save to your presets. Also, each individual effect is highly configurable in this mode as well. BTW, you are an exceptional guitarist! Rock on!

[@nights0n]

Night Son tried it "out", not tried it our.. :)

[@CameronCooper]

Night Son Hey dude, I have tried rigging it up to my computer before but my computer doesn't really seem to like it that much - if my computer worked with the software I would definitely use it. I am aware of all of the hidden effects and parameters which lurk in the software, I bet they are ace. Thanks so much for commenting on my playing it means a lot man. Cheers for commenting man :)

[@nights0n]

What type of computer are you using? I have an IT background and may be able to help you get that up and running. I've personally used this on Win 7 (64bit) and my brothers iMac with the Yosemite OS. Forgive me if you've already tried this, but before you hook it up, do the following: 1. Load/install the latest version of the Yamaha Steinberg USB driver 2. Load/install the latest version of the THR editor 3. Hook up the THR with the USB cable to your computer and power it on. You'll may see it updating the drivers if you use Windows 4. Open the THR Editor program - it may look brown or beige in colour 5. On the top left of the Editor program, click on EDIT, then select PREFERENCES 6. On the DATA IN dropdown menu, select THR10X and do the same for the DATA OUT menu, then click OK. You will see the Editor change color to green. 7. Now, you can load one of the preset libraries (if you happened to grab it from the Yamaha website that has the drivers and stuff), otherwise you have 100 empty save spots in the editor. To save tweaked settings, do the following. It's a little counter intuitive but you'll get the hang of it eventually: 1. Make any effects changes and then on the bottom left of the GUI (graphical user interface) click the SAVE TO LIBRARY button 2. Select either an empty slot or one you wish to overwrite on the left side of the window 3. In the top right part of that window, you can name your patch name or leave it as is 4. Then either SAVE or CANCEL 5. Before closing the THR Editor, make sure you click FILE, and select SAVE AS and name the library file (I prefer using the current date) and save it in a place you remember for easy access. remember that each library file can hold up to 100 presets of your choosing. I hope this helps get you up and running. :) Laters!

[@rrr00bb1]

this is not correctly recorded; not doing it justice. this amp sounds absolutely glorious, particularly with the reverb knob all the way up (in hall reverb) with brown II. the stereo imaging is incredible for such tiny speakers. i can only imagine it with headphones (it does do cabinet sim).

[@CameronCooper]

I apologise about the quality of this video. This video definitely does not do the amp justice at all. I recorded this when I was just starting out :)

[@evalex71]

Well now I know what I'm getting myself for Xmas! Great demo! I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner, especially after I saw Satchel's demo. Does it have a headphone jack?

[@CameronCooper]

+Momo Bobo Yeah it does :)

[@Etherman11]

I never even knew about it until I saw Satchels video recently! Just got one and its great!

[@kingsammyc]

Awesome!

[@dannylucas596]

hi Cameron your pre set tone is brilliant, is that a pre set on the amp or was it one you set up yourself , I've ordered my THR10X from thomann can't wait, one more thing mate I want either a charvel pro mod or the circles EVH , what's your view please, I can get the EVH circles for £499 from guitar guitar keep Rockin Dan.

[@CameronCooper]

+Danny Lucas Thanks so much man. The pre set I use is one of my own which I have dialled in and fiddled with many times. My view is if you can't get a Japanese Charvel try and go for a Charvel Super Stock as they are higher quality than the standard Mexican Charvels or go for the EVH Circles. But make sure you try out many Circles guitars because they vary quite a lot with regard to weight and tone. Cheers :)

[@troyvan6952]

Another great informative video.....

[@Megzamani]

getting this amp. thank you lots.

[@curtgreco2795]

Thank you Cameron

[@motley666]

Cameron man love your tones. just grabbed a NOS 10x and setting up. can you share w me your flanger settings for that Fair Warning type tone?

[@andrewjarvis7777]

When you started up with Judgement Day I sort of cried a little. Somethings wrong w me 🤣🤣😐

[@coolmixes]

Hi Cam I have both the thr10 c&x. Love them both so much they both have do many settings I'd love to save but recall I believe 1 video you showed patchbox68 well this pedal is nowhere to be found that stores these digital settings from the Yamaha database. Is there a way or another pedal that might work? Thanks and great vids

[@Grt31pmkin]

Just got an x about a week ago. There is an app on whichever app store you use called 'THR Librarian.' With that you can ditch the computer altogether and store and import .ydl/.ydp files and tweak them in app. I had to grab a USB C male to USB female cord, found really cheap on Amazon, to connect the phone to the amp. After that you can import all the patches you like, even community created ones.. Hope that helps a bit.

[@PittPenguin]

I've got the Blackster ID Core 20, my newb starter amp. Although v v tempted to ditch it and buy this Yam model. The sound is so up my street... Great vids btw

[@CameronCooper]

+Simon G Cheers so much. Make your choice carefully because the ID Core 20 is an insane amp for the money also. :)

[@connyblomqvist3648]

Its very hard to get the right ide about the sound when its not connected to aby kind of soundcard and from there straight in to the camera..would realy like to hear your sound that way..tnx for your great videos.

[@CameronCooper]

Thank you but watch any of my other videos. This one is so old and I didn't have any software at the time

[@connyblomqvist3648]

@@CameronCooper 👍

[@nicvortec]

great Video nice sounds Can you give some tips about your preset 4, if i don't ask to much can you get AC/DC Zeppelin sound out of it? Santana Garry Moore or Slash out of this amp?

[@CameronCooper]

+Nic Franco You can pretty much get anything you could want out of this amplifier! However for a Led Zeppelin tone, I recommend the THR10C as opposed to the THR10X. My preset 4 is..... Bass all the way up - Mid around 1 o'clock - Treble between12 o'clock and 3 o'clock depending on what mood I am in. There's also a hint of hall reverb on there aswell. The amp model is Brown II. If it isn't quite what your after, keep tweaking you will find what you are looking for. Thanks so much for commenting. I hope this helps :)

[@nicvortec]

quick answer thank you

[@dannylucas596]

cheers Cameron

[@BobW5150]

Sounds great! I love this little amp! Can you share your settings for the Van Hagar tone?

[@CameronCooper]

Bob Walker Hey dude Its funny you should ask that, I am gonna be working on a video for exactly that in the not too distant future. Stick around and it will be here. :)

[@RahulBasu6886]

Hi Cameron, nice demo! Could you suggest if this can be used to get a Boogie Mark IIC+ sort of tone?

[@grisok]

Rahul Basu I'd like to know too :)

[@HellcatAlley1]

What gear do you use for live band applications? Thanks

[@AhmetOmerOzgen]

when i play clean with soem reverb there is a rucking buzz in the speakers they shake on a way that bother me :(

[@serdaruzun5801]

Ahmet Omer Ozgen sat bana:)

[@gunshotheafy]

Focus on the sound, do you recomend this one or the brand new THRii for a metal player?

[@4572dk]

the II has this amp built in

[@isaacwhite9375]

What emg’s where those 81/60?

[@dirtyeric2]

Do regular pickup sound better than acrive emgs?

[@MoneyBooBoo]

nice amp man. is there a footswitch? can you run a pedal board thru it?

[@CameronCooper]

Goss Samer No I am afraid not, I wish it did though :)

[@rudigerk]

After a Modification there is now .. you can even plug it in a regular guitar CAB www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/yamaha-thr10-modifikationen-speaker-out-footswitch-fx-loop-/489202393-74-496 use google translate ..

[@dazzmetcoll3843]

Great review could u tell me how many presets should be in the library that u download from the Yamaha site is it 23?

[@CameronCooper]

You're correct! You get 23 presets and then a load of blank patches for you to make your own custom presets

[@dannylucas596]

hi mate any chance of revealing them settings? I know you fiddle with it but what is the basic settings if u don't mind cause that's the perfect tone I want to use when me THR10X arrives, I also commented on your review of the EVH circles cheers, Dan.

[@CameronCooper]

+Danny Lucas Bass all the way up. Mid between 1 and 3 o'clock. Treble between 1 and 3 o'clock. Reverb is a mild hall setting :)

[@timothysmith35]

Ballpark price in usd?

[@nathanwhite4301]

how loud is this thing? I'm looking to use it as a practice amp in my living room. I have a Marshall mg30 which is more than enough for what I do. This is an awesome amp I've played through one at the store but didn't crank it up. Thanks for the vid!

[@CameronCooper]

+Nathan White I wouldn't recommend this amp when practising loudly, its a bit risky as the speakers start to suffer a little bit. If I were you I'd try and give the new Yamaha THR 100 as that comes with a cab. Otherwise the THR10X is a great amp to practice with. I have had mine for just over two years now and it is excellent, I really love it. I highly recommend that and the Blackstar ID Core BEAM if you want a wider range of tones :)

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Ok so how is this being recorded for this video? And how does this compare to Positive Grid's modeling apps for the iPad?

[@CameronCooper]

Chris Strobel Hi Chris. This video was recorded just using the mic on my camcorder. I don't know how it compares to Postive Grid because I have never tried it. As far as I'm concerned they're totally different style of amp modellers but you can do a lot more with the THR10X than Postive Grid

[@jimmyjennings4089]

What's the best amp head to get VH sound and it's powerful enough to play out in bars and clubs, or even bigger venues?

[@CameronCooper]

EVH 5150II 50W Head

[@HMRD_HerryMardian]

hi cameron! just a quick question. can you get the kind of john mayer-ish sound from the 10x? or i better get the 10 or 10c for that.

[@CameronCooper]

Herry Mardian The John Mayer is in his fingers but overall his tone consists of a warm, sustainy light overdrive with some warm clean parts (of course). Both of these sounds the THR10X can do very well. One thing I always say about the THR10X is that it may be 'the high gain version' but that doesn't mean you need to use all of it. :)

[@NickJardine]

@@CameronCooper thanks for sharing! I recently got a THR10x. I play mostly bluesy stuff (SRV, Clapton, Mayer etc). The THR10x is definitely good with high gain, but you can get cleaner stuff. What setting do you like for light OD bluesy stuff?

[@leoronaldo4224]

What camera did you used dude?

[@CameronCooper]

A crappy old Panasonic one. This was ages ago just as I was getting started

[@ohplezz]

Do you ever use the software with it?

[@CameronCooper]

ohplezz Nahh dude my computer didn't really seem to like it too much so I uninstalled it more or less straight away. For all of my recording I just use the camcorder mic ahah :)

[@gab2108]

Can you play the dimebag tone with this?

[@CameronCooper]

You can. That's what the Southern Hi model is for.

[@TVisTheRetina]

Are you using the V2 update or V1?

[@CameronCooper]

john deaux Hi I am not sure what you mean there? Cheers for commenting

[@TVisTheRetina]

Yamaha released an updated version 2 of the THR10 amps shortly after they were released. It was also a downloadable USB update for existing owners.

[@CameronCooper]

john deaux To be honest I don't have a clue. I have no idea what mine is. I'm sorry I wish I could be more helpful

[@andriebayuajie6503]

Is it noisy at high gain setting?

[@CameronCooper]

Depends on how loud you turn it up. :)

[@Miasma666]

the amp are pedal friendly?

[@CameronCooper]

Pandu Ageng J It is pedal friendly but it solely depends on the style of pedal you intend to use. Delays and reverb pedals only sound good when the amp is on a clean setting. There's no need to use distortion pedals with this amp. This amp is best with modulation effects such as phase, flanger or chorus. I hope that helps

[@shaunmatthews4601]

I’m a big Mick Mars fan, particularly his tone between 89-91, which model would you recommend for that kind of sound?

[@CameronCooper]

THR10X

[@shaunmatthews4601]

Cameron Cooper I thought so, just wanted to be sure, thank you!

[@1981SG]

Don't the small speakers bug you (after a while)?

Can you play Ed Sheeran on it......

[@CameronCooper]

Well if you plug into it and play Ed Sheeran, you don't need to look any further.

[@dallasbiggz7007]

I watch your videos and thought the thr10x might be cool to get but then I investigated it. here's my take on what that thing is : basically, a very limited modeler with few models and very few storage locations running into a boom-box. my belief is go buy a used modeler like a line6 or Digitech rp like the 360 for about $99. then get a boom-box at the local goodwill for $10. now, for 1/3 the price, you have a setup with way more models, tones, preset storage, better software, and I/O options. I don't know how they can even call it an "amp" when it has no power amp and no way to drive an external cab. my $0.02. why is everyone going gaga over old technology that can be had for cheap? think people, think! I run my modelers into my boom-box all the time, and yes, u have stereo and it sounds great. been doing that for years.

[@rasss556]

The moment you said you were using active pickups this video became useless to me😞😞
