Yamaha THR5A, Manual

Page: 4 / 14

Double trouble
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 incredi-
ble 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.
Great tone, on an impulse
Any amp only sounds as good as the last link in the sig-
nal 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.
The finishing touch
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.
Classic control
The controls on THR amp heads go back to basics for
quick, easy manipulation of your sound. An instantly fa-
miliar 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.
Kick it into high gear
THR amp heads come equipped with an assignable booster
that can be engaged direct from the amp or via a dedicat-
ed footswitch. With three
incredible sounding VCM
boosters from a clean solo
boost to a smooth over-
drive, all selectable via the
utility software, the THR’s
boost function is ready
to push your tone to the
next level.
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 dum-
my load, so you can disconnect your speakers for silent
recording or on-stage perfor-
mance without having to wor-
ry about damage to your amp.
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 five
kilograms. We guarantee you’ve never come across an
amp as lightweight and compact that sounds like such
a heavyweight.
Just stomp on it
An included dedicated footswitch is available for each
model, giving you the control you need at home, in the stu-
dio 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 ca-
ble easily and
cost-effectively.
