Yamaha THR5
Yamaha · amplifier
The Yamaha THR5 is a small-format modelling combo from the THR line, using Yamaha's VCM amp modelling to offer several classic electric guitar amp voicings alongside built-in effects, all controllable through the companion app. At the smaller end of the THR range, it is built for desktop practice and recording rather than stage volume. It suits home players wanting a compact modelling amp with real tonal variety and app-based control rather than a single fixed voicing.
