Yamaha THR5 Modelling Guitar Amp

Yamaha THR5 Modelling Guitar Amp Overview

The Yamaha THR5 Modelling Guitar Amp is the little brother of the THR10, it offers the sound quality of the THR10, but in a more portable form, great for use at home or while travelling. Designed for electric guitars, the THR5 has a few different electric guitar channels, offering five realistic, built-in amp sounds - Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brit Hi, and Modern, giving you valve amp tones all in a small, portable unit. It also has a USB interface so it can be used as a playback device for your PC, and there’s Cubase AI software included, so you can get straight to recording!

There’s also a built-in tuner, tap tempo function to quickly set delay time, and a whole host of effects such as chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay, various reverbs and more. It works great as a ‘Third Amp’ - it’s not just a smaller version of a large amp but designed to be used for practising at home, and the portability means you’re able to play and record wherever you are.
