Yamaha thr20II wireless

[ElectricVoodoo]

I think this has got to be my favorite home practice amp of them all, and I've ran through literally a ton of them. My Marshall's sit around waiting to get used unfortunately, but this little thing has good tone in it!

Sunday afternoon jamming EVH riffs .

Fuck yes; sounds awesome! I've been a massive fan of the THR series ever since they were first released. Best practice amps out there in my opinion

 

[LAVALLE]

Awesome!! I have the 30 and LOVE it. Here’s a tone I came up with to play Lights by Journey.

I had a katana artist 100w practice amp for about 5 months. Never found a decent tone. I plugged this thing and literally, instantly, found it. I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but I'm certainly acknowledging that it delivers on a satisfactory level, which is way more than I can say about the katana and a load of other home practice amps I've owned

The THRs are definitely underrated! A lot to be said for a little practice amp that can be used wirelessly itself and connect to your guitar wirelessly.

Just for the hell out of, here's a couple direct-to-pc clips I recorded with my THR10X:

That was great! My next move is for a proper direct recording setup. That was very nice sounding!!!

Thanks man! Cool thing about the THR’s is you don’t need anything else - just plug the usb on the THR in to your computer! If you don’t have a DAW program, i highly recommend Cakewalk - it’s completely free.

So realistically, if you have a ThR and a computer with a DAW you’re ready to record

You don't use an interface between the yamaha and PC? Wouldn't the output be improved with an interface between them? I've done many times over the years, goung direct from amp to PC, when I owned the blackstar ID, the katana, and the marshall code. The tone always sounded meh..Maybe the Yamaha will sound better? I was actually going to get a mic and an interface with it.

I loved my 20 so much I bought the 30 as well. Since I only play at home I sold all my amps. Happy as can be.

No, the USB port built in to the THR's is a proper USB interface.

It would certainly be possible to run a line out of the headphone jack in to a seperate standalone USB interface, but I personally don't do that.

Another bonus of using the THR's built-in USB interface is it gives you the option to simultaneously record a DI (unprocessed) track at the same time that you record your dialed in tone - which is an absolutely killer feature. So you could dial in your best tone on the amp, record a track with it and the amp will automatically create a separate DI track as well, which you can then re-amp or apply an amp sim VST and IR's to for even more tonal goodness and variety

Nice!!! I'll check this out one day this week!!
