I often come back to this video just to remember what can be extracted from a crunch tone, a lead tone etc. This is the best user guide to this marvelous amp and not only !!
Great Demo. I bought one in black, and I Love-it. Best purchase that I've made in-a-while. I didn't think I could get pristine Fender Princeton-like cleans, and also Van Halen-like rock tones. Sounds killer.
Yeah my first amp was the mustang gtx50 and that amp lacked all of the high end of this one so it made my Danelectro sound crummy when I tried it again after my tube amp
Thanks for this excellent demo...each amp in this category has its own inherently boxy sound...to my ear this is more airy and articulate than either Spark or Katana Air, though it can be a little brittle and metallic. The real differentiator to me is ease of use -- this puts more controls on the box for those of us who do not want to be tethered to a phone. The inclusion of a physical "classic-boutique-modern" switch for each amp sim on the 30w version really magnifies the advantage, as you now have 15 different sounds (20 counting presets) at your fingertips. And if you do use the app it is disarmingly simple and includes cab sims which make a big difference. Finally, big props to Yamaha for keeping the controls on the front edge rather than in back where they are harder to see and use -- a small thing but one of my pet peeves with amps these days.
I just got this amp about 1 month ago. I love it. I haven't delved into the app yet but I will and I will also, try to do some recording to my computer with it. But yeah, the placement and accessibility of the controls sealed the deal for me. I was considering a Blackstar HT5R MKii tube/ ss amp but the controls are way in the back. Plus, I already had been through the Fender Super Champ X2 and the tubes didn't even last a year. The Yamaha has a very tube-like sound and I'm loving it
Excellent - thank you. I have the original THR10 and will be getting the THR30ii soon and your concise well put together video has been very helpful. Cheers - and good job Yamaha too!
This is a "GREAT" video my friend. It shows, exactly, what I wanted to hear; I just ordered this AMP and the Wireless Unit. Thank You for your time and Effort. Job Well Done...
I've had mine for about 2 1/2 years and use it on a regular basis. It's still going strong with no problems at all. I must say that I've had a Positive Grid also for, about, 2 years, and I like it just as much and perhaps a bit more.
I bought both the THR30II W and the THR10II and use the modern high gain model almost exclusively. The THR10II sounds much tighter and better, definitely recommend that one.
I have had the 5 watt for 8 years with no issues. I top box a PV valve king 100 watt with it. It's like a she lion on a gazelle. Clean channel at about 7 with the THR5 at about 5...oh, the neighbors love it. For real. Most of my neighbors...
Just ordered mine! Been playing the Spark 40 for a while and i thought that was cool til i finally came across this amp and had overlooked it seeing people having them but had no idea😵😵😵
It is a great demo...of THR30II firmware/software. Most would buy it for its "in room" response as a guitar amp albeit one with small speakers, not as a recording device from its Line Out into one's DAW. How does it sound in the room through its own speakers as a practice amp?
Why 'obviously' ? One of the few things that made/makes Yamaha stand out was that even their budget gear was very good. I owned a BB404 fretless bass...a well made budget instrument, same for their dtxpress drums, well made & yet wallet friendly.
I have a Yamaha THR and is just amazing, I sometimes use it with amplitube and use it only as just a flat speaker, the latency is absolutely 0, I would like to test this Yamaha new amp and see if its worth to replace my gold piece or no.
As an aside, it is a wasted opportunity. I recall the boomboxes from the 1980s, once de riguer on the shoulder of any self-respecting urbanite. Yamaha should have built this into a boombox with a pair of 125mm to 150mm coaxial drivers, 1000W Peak Music POwer, GOSH!!! A 32500mAH LiPo battery to run it for hours on end. Maybe some enterprising Chinese maker should gut this and rehouse it in a boombox and resell it for USD599. Would Guitar Bonedo take the THR30II Line Out and run it into a boombox?
Thanks for this detailed rundown of the tones. Most reviews just focus on the amp/cab emulation, which is important, but so are the other effects! One question I still have, though... if you turn the "mix" on the chorus all the way up, can you get a 100% wet signal that you can use as a vibrato?
Mine arrived two days ago. The app is useless, whether on Mac or Android. Will.not communicate or sync. I see numerous similar complaints online. How come, Yamaha? Good amp, though.
I found 2 flaws of THR30 II : 1) Choose some factory preset, go to the tuner, leave the tuner - you're no more on this factory preset. 2) Guitar and Audio volume knobs do nothing for LINE outputs - this is some major drawback.
i have a wanker of a neighbour...so im in 2 minds to get this or a small valve kind of amp..blackstar ht5r mk2 on 0.5w mode...im now stumped..im not interested in the wireless battery and bluetooth..just good sound on low volume..and nothing more
@@pbt2005 i went the shop today and a valve amp on low is poo even the ht5r in 0.5w..for low volume i think its digital by a mile..but when yo say to a guitarist low volume they think you mean 11..they dont know what low means
@@mattyburrows9059 I hear you. I'm looking at it. Wasted my money on a Marshall code. Sound like they recorded the settings underwater. 100 presets of which 5 max of use. Dialled them in a bit but by enlarge its rubbish. These sound better but usual TH-cam caveats apply to 'better'....
I have this amp. It sounds good for what it is, but side by side next to my other little bad ass desktop amp, is a vox adio air gt, and the vox blows it away. Love them both. But vox is better and wayyyy louder. But thats just my opinion....
@@blaine393 I collect them. I have a room full of tube amp heads and cabinets and desktop amps. Zzounds is a addicting company... But yes there both totally diff sounding amps.
mmmm....not tooooo much impressed i have to say. (judging by the sound that was recorded from the inbuild audio interface) I mean, for my desktop situation: I got guitar rig 6 running on some Yamaha desktop speakers and sounds WAY more incredible. BUT...it looks nice to have on a table in the living room for example? Its kinda catchy and boutique like. But sound wise, for that money? I recommend a solid sound card (120 bucks) and some good speakers (another 120) and im SOLID for recording and just jamming away. If you dont want to screw around with a laptop and all that....sure...buy this one! Nice for parties and small jam sessions :)

Same here!
Love my little yamaha these things are brilliant. The range of sounds are all amazing and at low volumes
Love mine. Best small amp I’ve ever owned.
Great Demo. I bought one in black, and I Love-it. Best purchase that I've made in-a-while. I didn't think I could get pristine Fender Princeton-like cleans, and also Van Halen-like rock tones. Sounds killer.
It’s awesome right?! What settings do you use for Van Halen tones?
Sounds better than all those big modelling amps.
Yeah my first amp was the mustang gtx50 and that amp lacked all of the high end of this one so it made my Danelectro sound crummy when I tried it again after my tube amp
Sansamp GT2 and Tech21 Charavter series sound better to my ear

I bought a Spark and to me it sounds like crap for guitar amp. It is good for streaming music though.
@@grunpastur if you are unhappy with it, see if you can return it or exchange it for something else
Excellent - thank you. I have the original THR10 and will be getting the THR30ii soon and your concise well put together video has been very helpful. Cheers - and good job Yamaha too!
Clean and concise, amp is used by many pros, thank you.
Can't believe the tones you get out of that tiny thing.
Swaying to the symphony... of no copyright infringement🤘🏼
Excellent demo of a great practice amp. Please never pull this down since I reference it so often.
The most informative and useful review I have watched yet.
This is a "GREAT" video my friend. It shows, exactly, what I wanted to hear; I just ordered this AMP and the Wireless Unit. Thank You for your time and Effort. Job Well Done...
i have mine ordered on Sweetwater, its probably sitting out on one of those cargo ships. How are you coming along with yours? glad you bought it?
@@ronyeahright9536 100%, it's FANTASTIC... I have several High-end Amps but this one, certainly has a great place for what it does...
@@MrSkeyxc thats cool, thanks for the feedback ! rock on lol
MY wireless went bust after just 2 months, what about yours?
I've had mine for about 2 1/2 years and use it on a regular basis. It's still going strong with no problems at all. I must say that I've had a Positive Grid also for, about, 2 years, and I like it just as much and perhaps a bit more.
Exactly what I am looking for as a review/reference video, thank you!
I bought both the THR30II W and the THR10II and use the modern high gain model almost exclusively. The THR10II sounds much tighter and better, definitely recommend that one.
Even with the old THR 10 I have better sounds.. and also the lack of a good THR Remote manual
Surprising. The amps are identical except for power, right?
@@dickgitaar2012 Sound is entirely subjective.....
I have had the 5 watt for 8 years with no issues. I top box a PV valve king 100 watt with it. It's like a she lion on a gazelle. Clean channel at about 7 with the THR5 at about 5...oh, the neighbors love it. For real. Most of my neighbors...
If you're looking for the best guitar amp demos on YT, don't look further, they're here.
Great demo....mine arrives tomorrow (in black) :D
Perfect Demo. Thank you!
This demo is very good no talking.not like others to much talking.good job.
Just ordered mine! Been playing the Spark 40 for a while and i thought that was cool til i finally came across this amp and had overlooked it seeing people having them but had no idea😵😵😵
Awesome job! I just got one of these, and this video will definitely be VERY useful! Thanks! :)
Thanks, very comprehensive...
Definitely wish for a video where you give us random settings for different tones exactly like you did at the end of the video
i love this amp
Excellent demo
At 4:43, that is my favorite sound! I am debating to get this or just the Thr10x. Have you ever tried the 10X?
Excellent demo!
When he says no talking he really means it. He also doesn't say anything in the comment section.
Thank you very much for the video, very helpful and informative.
fantastic sounds ..great demo !

Thank you for this video
perfect demo
How was this being recorded? I didn't see a microphone, were you using the outputs in back?
Same as with most of these kinds of modelling amps - I like the clean classic, and also that clean modern sound, but the rest of them, not so much.
Awesome tone, great licks
Yamaha makes incredible instruments and gear. Obviously their really cheap stuff isn’t great but mid level or higher is always solid
Why 'obviously' ? One of the few things that made/makes Yamaha stand out was that even their budget gear was very good. I owned a BB404 fretless bass...a well made budget instrument, same for their dtxpress drums, well made & yet wallet friendly.
Wait, so now they got a THR10 v2 and a THR10II? Brilliant naming...
Great informational video! Is there prevalent 60-cycle hum using your single coils?
I have a Yamaha THR and is just amazing, I sometimes use it with amplitube and use it only as just a flat speaker, the latency is absolutely 0, I would like to test this Yamaha new amp and see if its worth to replace my gold piece or no.
The THR10II is basically the 3 previous THR combined, you have 3 amps settings available on this amp. That is what made me buy it
Do you feel the lack of low end frequency?
@@downloadflac yes absolutely, but for a guitar amp is ok, for listening music it definitely lacks a lot of low frequencies
How you used as a flat speaker through audio interface ?
Thank you 🙏
Excellent - why aren't they all like this ?? Thanks :-)
Is it possible to record in silent mode using the line outputs? Thanks
As an aside, it is a wasted opportunity. I recall the boomboxes from the 1980s, once de riguer on the shoulder of any self-respecting urbanite.

Would Guitar Bonedo take the THR30II Line Out and run it into a boombox?
Will it weigh 35kg then?
I have the Marshall MG30FX. I play Rock and Metal. Can someone tell me if this amp is going to be an upgrade?
Thanks for this detailed rundown of the tones. Most reviews just focus on the amp/cab emulation, which is important, but so are the other effects!
One question I still have, though... if you turn the "mix" on the chorus all the way up, can you get a 100% wet signal that you can use as a vibrato?
Nice tones. Is this battery portable like a black star fly?
Is there a pedal board for this amp so you can switch between sounds/amps/effects?
Yes, there is
Great your videos. 😎👏
Which wah wah pedal do you think could be good?
Thank you.
excellent!
is there any stereo effects available using that editing app?
@100 that sucks not taking full advantage of desktop speakers
Thank you.
Can you use the flat mode for multiefx?
Do you use standart speakers? seems like you don't.
Recorded from line out, not using a mic?
that tone at 5:55, perfect! What guitar are you using?
Pe Peroni Gibson
I did the upgrade download from my computer and now my line 6 cordless isn't working. Anyone else have this happen?
The guitar was?
My kind of reviews no bull shit talking
Does the THR have speakers?
yes, two speakers.
Cela ressemble bigrement au Line6 Pod Go.
I’m confused, I swear i already saw this. Is it a re-post?
Mine arrived two days ago. The app is useless, whether on Mac or Android. Will.not communicate or sync. I see numerous similar complaints online. How come, Yamaha? Good amp, though.
remember to turn on location services in your phone
what is "wet" / "dry"
Wet: with reverb, Dry : without reverb (or delay), no sense of room.
Whelp. That settles it.
2:29
did you Mic the AMP? or Recorded Direct?
It says at the start recorded directly.
He but plugged it.
Ini harga berapa yah?
Is this free software?
I found 2 flaws of THR30 II :
1) Choose some factory preset, go to the tuner, leave the tuner - you're no more on this factory preset.
2) Guitar and Audio volume knobs do nothing for LINE outputs - this is some major drawback.
This yamaha or boss katana
i have a wanker of a neighbour...so im in 2 minds to get this or a small valve kind of amp..blackstar ht5r mk2 on 0.5w mode...im now stumped..im not interested in the wireless battery and bluetooth..just good sound on low volume..and nothing more
Or stick covid through his letterbox....

How does the vox sound with headphones? Thanks!
@@jello-tarzan Honestly. I havent tried the headphones. But i will let you know soon
Why do you own 2 high end desktop amps? Does one do something better than the other? Do you have the new THRII or an older original THR unit?
@@blaine393 I collect them. I have a room full of tube amp heads and cabinets and desktop amps. Zzounds is a addicting company... But yes there both totally diff sounding amps.
@the supernatural yes , it sounds as good low as it does higher volumes. sorry for the late reply.
Die dinger sind gut, aber der Preis ist frech, verglichen mit anderen namhaften Herstellern die das und ähnliche Konzepte im Programm haben .
Bought one and returned it. Over priced and a bit over rated.
I checked it at the Yamaha dealer's and reached the same conclusion: overpriced for what it is, and not living up to its billing as an in-room amp.
@@Jabbaerwocky for that price i would have expected at least a hint of low end.
@@diegofiorillo6412 What kind of guitar stuff you play? Heavy riffs or clean/crunch stuff?
@@downloadflac hey buddy thanks for the question. I play literalky everything except country and pop. Love metal, rock, blues, ambient, classic rock.
Diego Fiorillo did find a home practice amp that did fit your requirements?
mmmm....not tooooo much impressed i have to say. (judging by the sound that was recorded from the inbuild audio interface)

They copied the approach of a Vox Adio Air which is longer on the market, more powerful and much cheaper 🤔
Review was much to machine like to me. Very robotic in delivery. Lighten up the overall experience and I may sub.
Says demo but doesn’t demo the bass amp. Smh.
Not convinced!
Horrible!. Bees.
Nice, but still not as cool as a champ.
Klingt wie eine Kreissäge. Ich weiß, warum ich meinem Kemper treu bleibe.
PURE CRAP NOISE
