Yamaha THR5 10-Watt Modeling Guitar Combo Amp - Portable | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha THR5 is a portable 10-watt modeling guitar amplifier that delivers exceptional tone in a compact, battery-powered design. This versatile combo amp features five intricately modeled tube amplifier voices, comprehensive effects processing, and stereo 3-inch speakers that reproduce everything from clean jazz tones to high-gain rock sounds with impressive clarity. Perfect for practicing, songwriting, and home recording, the THR5 combines portability with professional sound quality, making it an essential tool for guitarists who demand great tone wherever they play.

Product Overview

The THR5's compact cabinet houses dual 3-inch stereo speakers that deliver surprisingly full-range sound for the amp's modest footprint. Measuring just 10.67 inches wide and weighing only 4.4 pounds, this amplifier travels easily between practice spaces, rehearsals, and recording sessions. The sleek, retro-inspired design features intuitive top-panel controls with clearly labeled knobs for gain, master volume, tone, and effect selection, allowing you to dial in your desired sound quickly without menu diving.

Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology powers the THR5's five amplifier voices, recreating the distinctive characteristics of legendary tube amps with exceptional accuracy. From sparkling cleans to saturated overdrive, each amp model responds dynamically to your playing touch and guitar's volume control, delivering the natural feel and compression of vintage valve amplifiers. The single-band EQ control provides effective tone shaping across all amp models, while the dedicated effect controls give you access to four modulation effects and four reverb/delay types.

The amplifier's flexible power options include operation via the supplied AC adapter or eight AA batteries, providing up to six hours of continuous playing time on battery power. This dual-power capability makes the THR5 ideal for busking, outdoor performances, songwriting sessions away from power outlets, and anywhere you need professional guitar tone without wall power. USB connectivity transforms the amp into a complete recording interface, offering two channels of input to your computer and two channels of playback, while the 1/8-inch auxiliary input accepts audio from smartphones and music players for play-along practice.

Key Features

Virtual Circuitry Modeling Technology

Yamaha's VCM technology delivers five meticulously crafted tube amplifier emulations that capture the sonic characteristics and dynamic response of classic amp designs. These models react authentically to your playing dynamics, guitar volume adjustments, and pickup selection, providing the organic feel of traditional valve amplifiers.

Comprehensive Effects Processing

Four modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo) and four independent reverb/delay effects give you extensive tonal possibilities. These high-quality digital effects can be combined and adjusted to create everything from subtle ambience to dramatic atmospheric textures, all controlled from the amp's intuitive front panel.

Dual Power Operation

The THR5 operates on the included AC adapter for unlimited playing time or runs on eight AA batteries for up to six hours of portable use. This flexibility makes it perfect for practice sessions anywhere, from your living room to the park, without compromising tone quality on battery power.

USB Audio Interface

Built-in USB connectivity provides two-channel recording to your computer and two-channel playback from your DAW, eliminating the need for separate audio interfaces. The THR5 integrates seamlessly with recording software and includes Steinberg's Cubase AI for complete project-based recording capabilities.

Stereo Speaker Configuration

Twin 3-inch speakers deliver authentic stereo imaging for the amp's internal modulation and reverb/delay effects. This stereo configuration also enhances playback from auxiliary sources and computer audio, making the THR5 an excellent desktop monitor for music production and multimedia applications.
