YAMAHA THR5A ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC GUITAR MODELING AMPLIFIER
THR5A is optimised for use with electric-acoustic guitars.
Utilising advanced modelling technologies developed by Yamaha, the THR5A offers simulations of classic tube condenser and dynamic mics combined with studio-grade effects to recreate recording studio tone direct from your guitar – wherever you are.
The THR5A delivers 10 watts of power through two YAMAHA designed Hi-Fi stereo speakers and features Virtual Circuitry Modelling (VCM) for authentic tones, four mic models plus ‘Nylon’ setting for classical guitars, morphing tone control, dual stompbox and delay/reverb effects. There is also USB connectivity, Steinberg’s Cubase AI DAW software and may be either battery or AC powered.
Developed by a team of guitarists in search of the ultimate tone, THR delivers the sound that you want and the feeling that you need. Effects that enhance and complement your playing combine with room-filling reverbs and delays to push your playing to new levels.
As a result of THR’s unique design and focus, stadium-filling volume isn’t a pre-requisite – everything about this amp is designed to fit the way you play, right down to the need to keep it quiet sometimes. With tone and feel like this, you’ll appreciate the ability to keep playing all night…

o NYLON
Perfect for use with an acousticelectric classical or nylon string guitar.
o EG CLN
Classic American clean tube amp – low gain preamp, 6L6 power section and 12-inch speaker with clear, late breakup
VCM EFFECTS
Most of THR’s effects feature VCM effects processors. Based on the technology used in Yamaha’s professional audio mixers, VCM effects give unsurpassed realism and quality.
VCM VIRTUAL CIRCUITRY MODELING
VCM effects are capable of capturing subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, going beyond simple simulation and delivering the truly musical performance that makes classic analog gear invaluable even in today’s digital production environment.
YAMAHA Hi-Fi AUDIO TECHNOLOGY
THR was developed with Yamaha’s award-winning AV division to offer true hi-fi stereo sound and a new experience in guitar amplifiers.
The exclusive, specially designed speaker enclosure is optimised to handle both guitar and stereo playback sounds making THR uniquely capable of giving you amazing tone for both your guitar and your track from a compact, portable amp.
NEW EXTENDED STEREO TECHNOLOGY
THR incorporates Yamaha’s new Extended Stereo Technology to create an incredibly wide, spacious audio image. Stereo tracks and studio quality reverb take on a depth unimaginable from such a small enclosure.
THR SESSION
THR Session is an iOS app which is optimised for THR.
You can slow down songs without losing audio quality, change the pitch or repeat any segment of a song to learn even the trickiest guitar part.
It even allows you to cancel out the original guitar sound; it’s like playing a session with your dream band!
This app is the perfect audio toolbox for today’s guitarist and with a Yamaha THR amp, gives you a practice experience like no other.
