Yamaha THR100H Dual-Channel Guitar Amplifier Head (100 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
A/B the two independent channels of the THR100H with the included footswitch, or combine them for a big, dual-amp tone the pros have been using for decades.

Get ready to experience a different level of tone creation. The Yamaha THR100H Dual packs true dual-amp functionality into a single 5kg package. Both amps feature five custom-voiced amp types with natural, organic overdrive, Yamaha's ultra-dynamic power amp with selectable output tube simulations and selectable class A or A/B topology, independently assignable boosters, reverbs and IR speaker simulators, as well as selectable single or true dual-discrete inputs for genuine dual-path connectivity.

Ultra Dynamic Power Amp

A great amp always has a certain something. More than just great tone, it has dynamics that breathe life into every note and give punch to every chord. With THR amp heads, Yamaha's engineers have captured the component-level interaction between the speakers and the power amp (the murky world known as the damping factor) and tuned it to perfection, achieving a new level of performance excellence, even at low volumes. Don't worry about hearing the difference -- you'll feel it as soon as you plug in and play.

THR100H Dual offers 5 amp types

MODERN An "American-modded" version of the Lead amp-type, slightly more saturation and smooth, fluid overdrive LEAD Medium-gain British tone with rich, controllable overdrive and great definition CRUNCH Low-powered, bright British tone with soft touch and chiming high-end CLEAN Warm, rounded American tone with late breakup and incredible dynamics SOLID Clean, solid-state amp for zero breakup at any level

Widely used in modern class A amps KT88 Big, clean, tight sound with outstanding headroom -- great for rock, where more pronounced note definition is desirable 6L6GC Strong, pronounced midrange character and bright, clean, powerful punch. Commonly associated with American guitar sounds EL34 Pronounced midrange, tight low end and crisp treble. The most recognizable British guitar sound *THR100H Dual/THR100H do not incorporate physical tubes in its design. Instead, it utilizes Yamaha's VCM Technology to faithfully reproduce the characteristics of each of these tube types.

Dual Amp Function

Two heads aren't always better than one. But two amps are. THR100H Dual is a true dual-amp version of THR100H with two identical channels of natural drive and incredible dynamics. Totally independent controls, fully discrete signal paths with dual selectable inputs, and A/B/A+B switching give you access to the big dual-amp sounds that guitar tone icons have known about for years. Now it's your turn.

Lightweight Design, Heavyweight Tone

Belying their awesome tone, stage-ready volume and the playing experience of an amp full of glass tubes and transformers, THR amp heads tip the scales at under 5kg. We guarantee you've never come across an amp as lightweight and compact that sounds like such a heavyweight.

BOOST Function

THR amp heads come equipped with an assignable booster that can be engaged direct from the amp or via the dedicated footswitch. With 3 incredible sounding VCM boosters, from a clean solo boost to a smooth overdrive, all selectable via the optional utility software, the THR's boost function is ready to push your tone to the next level, right when you need it.

Impulse Response Speaker Simulation

Any amp only sounds as good as the last link in the signal chain- and in a great sounding rig, that's usually a cabinet and microphone. THR amp heads use impulse response speaker simulation to drive a DI tone that's indistinguishable from a perfectly mic'd cabinet. With simulations of a range of industry-standard cabinets and mics available via a USB connection with your PC, THR amp heads give you a host of options straight out of the box. But it doesn't stop there -- you can use any IR file available online, taking advantage of a huge community of tone-hounds creating custom impulses for download, or even use third party software to create your own. The difference in tone can range from subtle to significant, and the possibilities are endless. Supported IR File Format File format: .aif / .aiff / .wav Bit Depth: 16bit / 24bit / 32bit Integer Channel: Mono / *Stereo (*Only usable either one channel) Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz IR Length: 2048 points

High Resolution Connectivity

THR amp heads are equipped with XLR line outputs for connection to professional recording or live sound equipment. The speaker outputs don't even need a dummy load, so you can disconnect your speakers for silent recording or on-stage performance without having to worry about damage to your amp.

Classic Control

The controls on THR amp heads go back to basics for quick, easy manipulation of your sound. An instantly familiar control layout along with intuitive response and interaction thanks to VCM's component modeling, means that dialing in your sound is exactly like you expect it to be. No menus, no options, no hidden functions. Just plug in and play.

Footswitch Bundled

An included dedicated footswitch is available for each model, giving you the control you need at home, in the studio or on-stage. With access to boost, reverb and FX Loop functions, plus A/B/A+B switching for THR100H Dual, everything's right where you need it. Industry-standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors even allow you to replace and extend the cable easily and cost-effectively.

Utility Software

THR amp heads come equipped with USB functionality that lets you connect to your computer for quick and easy configuration of the on-board reverb and booster effects, switching between serial and parallel effects setups, and uploading of IR data files.

Perfect cabinet for THR100H Dual

Almost all of the classic tube sounds of the last few decades have been a product of the synergy between a high-quality amp head and a dedicated speaker cabinet designed to complement the unique sonic characteristics of the amp. The THRC112/THRC212 are no different, and have been crafted and tuned specifically to accommodate the versatile amp, speaker, and valve simulations of THR amp heads.

I've had my THR100HD for about 3 months - gigged with it 3 times and absolutely love the tones I'm getting! I get alot of compliments on it, too! I'm more of a classic rock player - for rhythms, I combine the Crunch or Lead tone on Amp 1 & the Clean from Amp 2. Sonic heaven! I even throw in my Boss PS-5 that is detuned w/a slight signal delay & it sounds like 2 of us playing (kind of like Angus & Malcomb, RIP)! The Modern is a GREAT lead channel, esp when using the Amber Boost - super saturation & GREAT pinch harmonics! Then, on the other end of the scale, the Solid gives headroom for days for loud cleans like some country pickin'! Now the downsides: I sure wish: 1) The 'hidden features' that you have to access through your computer were accessible through switches on teh back panel - I'm sure the engineers at Yamaha can figure this one out for future generations! I mean, c'mon! 2) The IR speaker simulation affected the signal i hear in my cabinets! But they don't - ONLY the line outs & headphone out! So, be aware of this & know what cabinet sim you land on if you're toying around with it & plan to use the line outs at a gig! Other than those small gripes, Yamaha has hit a home run, IMHO. I am leaving my Bad Cat all-tube combo at home these days & opting for this lighter, more versatile TONE MONSTER!
