This is the first THR video I see that removes the unnecessary and shows off all the features one after the other without interruption. Sometimes that's exactly what you want.
less talk more loops! ya I've done the same type of video with a couple other amps. It gets repetitive, but sometimes someone just wants to hear how it sounds without someone shredding on their guitar (which I can't do anyways :)
I like the way you ran through all the settings using the looper. People that own the Yamaha THR5/10 amps usually really like them for the portability and good sound at lower volumes than a standard amp.
lando27music my only criticism is that there's a problem with the early ones that make it turn off when you play loud ( battery only) it may be fixed now
What is the main difference between the THR10 and THR5 ? I have watched many demos of the 10 and it seems really cool. The 5 seems pretty much the same, just not as many clean channels ? Thanks
Loopers are also good for checking your tone live. You can walk around the venue while the looper is going. I got that EHX one too. Love that you can store so many loops in that price range!
The most important question is how does it take pedals? Lol. You don't have to answer since I know you probably will have a video for that in the future. Ha I bring over my fly 3 to my friends to jam instead of my big amps sometimes. Fly3 does good with pedals besides dirt. I wish there was a portable amp that took some dirt pedals. Im not picky I just don't like presets much compared to pedals. I like all your "Does it take pedal videos" and I never seen anyone show if these mini amps use pedals besides you. I was hoping the mini Katana took dirt better but it did have the cool overdrive channels . I took back the mini Katana because it wasnt much better or different than my fly 3 in my opinion . Keep up the good work man!
J Steen These take pedals incredibly . ..I have a thr10...you have to hear them in the room to really believe the incredible sound. I've had the others and took them back...none hold a candle to these.....there is a reason you see these in the back ground of many well known guitarists interviews .
Lando could you test the THR5 with pedals? please. i´m thinking about getting one,but i need to know that. i have a limited budget and the price fits me well.
Fer Ramirez It's on my list to do exactly that. will be part of my "how well does it take on FX pedals" watch for it in the next couple weeks hopefully 👍😁🎸
Nice job !!! Hope your guitar showed up today !! ;) Btw everytime I hear 1 of these units .. it makes me wonder how many sales they have missed out making these into a combo amp !!
I don't know. For 200 bucks I expected a bit more. Not a bad amp but not much depth to any of the of the channels. For 20 bucks more the Boss Katana 50 has it beat.
Mark Stanford Believe me. Boss Katana 50 is a real amp that works in a band AND at low volume at home. This is a toy compared to the Katana. Ok tones at low volume and sitting near though.
I got it, but from my point of view, if you are paying $200 bucks for a 5 watt amp, you should be getting a bit more for your money. I have a Fly3 that I paid $69 for that sounds better than the THR5. My expectations for the Fly3 were not that high though. Whatever works for you I guess.
I agree. I also think the Blackstar Fly3 is a bargain and sounds better than the THR. Less effects but more natural tube-sounding. Fantastic little amp!
Bill Rand Thought about this and yes, you are right. Its apples and oranges. The small speakers on the thr is more suited for low volume playing than Katana. (But Katana is perfectly ok for low volume)
Less talk more loop.

thanks Dale!
Nice sound modeling demo - finally understand how this works. Thanks!!!
Nicely produced. Extremely helpful to anyone considering this amp. Thanks.
thanks! appreciate it 👍🎸😊
I WISH FOR MADDY JANE AND MICRO THERMALS BUT WHO WOULD EVEN N0 EWE IDIOT
Hey Landon, thanks for running through the settings. Great help towards making a decision on whether to purchase a THR5.
No problem!
I love mine. Great sound and takes pedals well.
Wade Wilson cool! what pedals have you tried?
lando27music few dirt pedals and a boost. All worked good
lando27music my only criticism is that there's a problem with the early ones that make it turn off when you play loud ( battery only) it may be fixed now

I think it's the size and number of channels/effects 😁🎸👍
Not sure what I'm getting for my bedroom practice amp...one of these or Katana Mini.
I really think the Katana Mini is a great take-it-and-go amp. The THR seems to be more about using it as a recording tool. That's the impression I get
You did one! Thanks!!
RIJUL CHATTERJEE no problem!
Good looper demo too!
ya I didnt think about that, you're right!

Boxcar Stewart ya it's an awesome looper. great value

Ben Hackett Thanks Ben I will see If I can check out out, appreciate your suggestion.

ha ya I'll do a pedal video soon. 😁
Thanks man, this was really helpful. Great tones out of that amp. Is it loud enough to piss the neighbors off ?
Good way to do a review!!
Amen!!!
Chris Carreno thanks!
Hi can you make a video thr5 with pedals? Then sound check.. thanks a lot..
it had so many fx built in, I really didn't see the need. also this: th-cam.com/video/KBD3HkwKL5w/w-d-xo.html
Do you think thr5 can handle also pedals like higain pedals?
What its sounds? Thanks for reply..
I need som idea cause I have one.😀😀😀
ya I think it should be able to handle high gain pedals on the clean channel. I'm not into high gain though, so I can't recommend any pedals. 👍😊🎸
Thanks☺☺☺

so you mean just make up an answer? 🤪 I actually wanted to play them first and document it on video. this is just a hobby, I don't do this full time
Nice job !!! Hope your guitar showed up today !! ;)
Btw everytime I hear 1 of these units .. it makes me wonder how many sales they have missed out making these into a combo amp !!
ya should be here today I hope.
I know Yamaha makes a THR head model, but I've never seen a combo. They would probably do well
I love mine❤ but I'm looking for how to use a wah pedal with it if possible. Can anyone help on this one plz. Want to hook a wah and one other pedal
what do you need help with?
You have my exact same set up!!
cool!
Can you use the aux or the phones to run a lead into another bigger amp and use the different effects
If you mean speaker cable out to a cabinet, then no.
Landon…
you’re so young looking 😂
I do have a Yamaha THR-5
no mic channel?
no not on this one
I WISH FOR MADDY JANE AND MICRO THERMALS BUT WHO WOULD EVEN N0
exactly what I wasn't thinking about!

its a desk top home amp completly different idea,,you could name any big 12" speakered amp from vox to line6 ,,apples and oranges
