Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
With the THR series, Yamaha aimed to reinvent the "off-stage" amp: a desktop format with a modern yet retro look, designed to encourage more frequent playing without complicated setup. The THR5 and THR10 position themselves as premium practice amps, capable of sounding like a real rig while integrating recording and audio playback functions, with immediate ergonomics.Who This Amp Is For
The THR5 targets beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a simple, lightweight, and inspiring amp for daily practice, whether at home or on the go. The THR10 is aimed at those seeking more versatility (more low-mids, user memories, 3-band EQ) and who also want to cover bass, electro-acoustic, or a "flat" channel for vocals/keyboard. Perfect for practice, composition, home studio, and quick demos.Technical specifications

Simple and effective, such a practical amp is “plug and play” that avoids endless connections and adjustments when you don't always have time.
It is compact and easily (very, very easily) transportable.
Robust, and versatile, it has the basic effects that are enough to enhance your game.
The effects are of very good quality, the different saturations too, yes it's not just the lamp but it's close anyway.
The USB cable to connect it to the computer is supplied with, practical for using the Yamaha software which will give the possibility to refine the equalization and benefit from an efficient noise gate and compressor.
The small aux cable is also provided in order to connect a smartphone or an MP3 to add any accompaniment or hacking track.
What more can I say for this small company which in my opinion borders on perfection, I am also amazed by its power, everything is there...
Personally it's flawless, come on I'm going to nitpick a bit so we don't think that I was paid by the brand to leave a similar opinion: a single tone knob for the equalization on the amp (but which in the end does the job well when you learn to use it well) and the price, it's the most expensive modeling amp in its category, but frankly I finally got my money's worth.
I am definitely not disappointed, but just thrilled!Automatically translated

Very practical to be able to work everywhere and at home because it is small and powerful enough for my practice (working my pieces)... I also use it to play bass but I only use the emulation of the British amp on bass because it is the most correct sound for this instrument.
The other emulations are rather sketchy for this practice. For guitar it's much better. I don't use the effects very much because I prefer to use my own pedals. I also have a cube and I switch from one to the other according to my needs (some amp emulations).
I also switch to my computer for the same reasons. I am currently discovering it so I haven't done the whole little baby yet! I haven't done the acoustic test yet... so I can't go back for the moment!
It looks solid and it looks very nice and seems reliable. Also worth seeing in time! Happy zic everyone!Automatically translated

Great,
Small light, very good clean crunch and lead sound, for metal distortion I find the sound good but I am more oriented towards blues and funk.
The volume is quite impressive for something this small and light.
The reverb, flanger, chorus effects... are very good.
The +:
The built-in tuner, cubase ai latest version and the line/phones output.Automatically translated

The Yamaha THR are the only way to have the sound of lamps at home without disturbing the neighborhood...
In addition, it acts as an audio interface and can be autonomous for 8 hours thanks to its batteries...
And forget the Boss Katana Air and Vox Adio Air GT that can't hold up to him...
Here we feel like we are on a tube amp...Automatically translated
