Serious Guitar Tone for the Space Where You Actually Play
The Yamaha THR5 rethinks the practice amplifier as a complete desktop playing and recording system. Yamaha Virtual Circuitry Modeling recreates the response and character of classic amplifier designs, while five carefully voiced amp models cover shimmering clean sounds, dynamic crunch, articulate lead tones and modern high gain.
Dual effect circuits, hi-fi stereo playback, USB connectivity and battery operation make the THR5 equally useful for focused practice, writing, recording and travel. Its compact 2 kg enclosure produces a spacious stereo image through two full-range speakers—giving guitarists inspiring sound without requiring a conventional stage-sized amplifier.
Signature Features
Five Expressive Amp Models
Choose Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brit Hi or Modern to move from warm articulation and edge-of-breakup response to focused lead and high-gain sounds.
Yamaha VCM Technology
Virtual Circuitry Modeling recreates component-level amplifier behaviour for a more natural relationship between picking dynamics, gain and tone.
Eight Onboard Effects
Chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo share one effects circuit, while delay and studio-style reverb options form a second independently controlled section.
Wide Stereo Sound
Twin 8 cm full-range speakers, Yamaha hi-fi audio expertise and Extended Stereo Technology create an expansive listening field from the compact cabinet.
10-Watt Stereo Output
A 5 W + 5 W stereo power section is optimised for detailed home playing, music playback and personal recording environments.
USB Recording and Playback
Connect the THR5 to a computer for USB audio integration, deeper editing and a streamlined home-recording workflow.
AC or Battery Operation
Use the supplied AC adaptor or compatible AA batteries for portable playing—approximately six hours with alkaline batteries or seven hours with nickel-metal hydride batteries, depending on conditions.
Built-In Chromatic Tuner
Press and hold the Tap/Tuner control to access stable onboard tuning, while tap tempo quickly sets delay timing.
