Built-in Boss effects include reverb, delay, and drive voicings with Boss Tone Studio editing via smartphone.
The Yamaha THR30IIA Wireless is a 30-watt 2x3.5-inch wireless digital modelling combo built for acoustic guitar, part of the THR line that pairs Yamaha's VCM modelling technology with app control and Bluetooth connectivity. The A designation marks the acoustic-voiced model within the THR range, distinct from the electric-guitar-focused THR combos, and it includes acoustic-specific effects such as feedback suppression alongside reverb and chorus. Wireless connectivity allows guitar and app control without cables. It suits acoustic players wanting modelled amplification with practice and recording features built in.
