Yamaha THR5A Desktop Acoustic Guitar Combo Amplifier

Designed for acoustic instruments, this intelligent desktop combo amp offers four VCM amp models based on the tones of high-quality studio microphones.

The Yamaha THR5A is optimized for use with electric-acoustic and Silent Guitars. Utilising advanced modeling technologies developed by Yamaha, THR5A offers simulations of classic tube condenser and dynamic mics combined with studio-grade effects to create recording-studio tone direct from your guitar and wherever you are.

VCM Amp Models

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 greater levels. And thanks to 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...

THR5A offers four acoustic mic simulations and one clean amp modeling for electric guitar:
- CONDENSER / DYNAMIC / TUBE / NYLON / EG CLN

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.

TAPE ECHO

Perfectly complementing the low-gain audiophile amp models, THR10C features a TAPE ECHO effect that captures the detail of an analogue machine, right down to the wow and flutter of the repeats.

VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling)

VCM effects are read more 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

Well worth a look if you like superb tone at moderate volume. It features 3 distinct mic simulations that are pretty cool. The effects section is excellent. I 'm using a dreadnought with a Seymour Duncan Woody soundhole p/u. I have to put the guitar and master volume at 1 o'clock to get the volume loud enough to make it all sing. The THR 5A needs to be at ear level unless you can crank it without disturbing housemates and neighbors. At ear level you'll hear it shine. I recommend it for any acoustic player of discerning taste
