Yamaha THR5A
Yamaha · amplifier
The Yamaha THR5A is the acoustic-voiced version of the compact THR5, built around Yamaha's VCM modelling with acoustic-specific voicings and effects such as feedback suppression rather than the electric amp models the standard THR5 offers. It shares the small desktop format and app-based control of the rest of the THR range. It suits acoustic guitar players wanting compact modelled amplification for practice and recording rather than stage use.
