Yamaha THR5 Desktop Modeling Guitar Amplifier

The little brother of the THR10, the THR5 offers the sound quality of the THR10 in a more portable form, making it perfect for use at home or when traveling. Now the THR5 has been upgraded version 2, with an even better sound that defies the convention that sound quality has to be sacrificed in a small amp with a small sound.

VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling): VCM effects are capable of capturing subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, going beyond simple simulation and delivering the truly musical performance that makes classic analog gear invaluable even in today's digital production environment.

Yamaha Hi-Fi Audio Technology: THR was developed with Yamaha's award-winning AV division to offer true hi-fi stereo sound and a new experience in guitar amplifiers. The exclusive, specially designed speaker enclosure is optimised to handle both guitar and stereo playback sounds making THR uniquely capable of giving you amazing tone for both your guitar and your track from a compact, portable amp.

THR Session: THR Session is an iOS app which is optimized for THR. You can slow down songs without losing audio quality, change the pitch or repeat any segment of a song to learn even the trickiest guitar part. It even allows you to cancel out the original guitar sound; it's like playing a session with your dream band! This app is the perfect audio toolbox for today's guitarist and with a Yamaha THR amp, gives you a practice experience like no other.
