Yamaha THR5

[pingu]

The house cube40 combo
crapped out on a recent jam sess

So i asked a sitter in if we could
use him amp

it was a little THR5 !
hey …. some amp beats no amp
every day

It actually did ok
with the volume maxed out
on the ‘Acoustic’ setting

the band was playing at a moderate lunch time cafe level

just thought i’d share

I have a THR5A that I use when a travel. A good alternative for that IMHO.

Sorry correction
Actually it was a THR5a
and I was on the Nylon setting

All those THR amps are to be recommended.

I own a THR5 and love it!
Besides guitar, I also use it for my iPod... sounds great!

I have a THR 10ii...best practice amp ever, but could probably work in a small room gig with a polite audience.

That's the one that I have, and, as I recall, I also use the nylon setting. I think there is a way to use it as direct box into a computer but I haven't figured it out. I am so bad at computer/music interfacing that I have almost given up on it entirely. A real sore spot with me.

Hi pingu, yup its me.

I have a THR 10C amp, excellent piece of kit.
It's great for coffee café crooning and for crusty carehome codgers, ha ha.

Somewhere I saw someone fart arse-ing about with making a Line out for speaker cabs.
Also see some bluesy droog mike up one with a p.a. and it sounded really good.

It cannot handle bass even though there's a setting, it can't handle looped bass, the sound drops when you twinkle twang yet bits over the top mate....

Tweaking the parameters with the laptop in real time is cool and has 5 pre set buttons to swap around with. Best of all it has a plate reverb option which sounds better than the factory spring and hall.

Perhaps on the presupposition it was purloined by a pirate plundering pilfering perpetrator my pining persona will promptly purchase this perfect product and properly preserve and protect it phew.....

YMMV
