I own the Boss Katana 100, and demo'ed one of these in store. I tones on this out of the box sounded a lot better to me. I ordered a THR10C right after.
When i consider the amount of gear i have in my Rig (rack preamp, power amp, stereo cab, ext. cab-sim, rack kompressor, EQ pedal, multiFX) N the money i spent (even if almost bought all of these 2nd hand) .....N moreover when i hear the sound of this lil' box (actually i have the THR5 which is amazing 4 Clean tones) i feel inclined 2 sell all my gear n just play on this True Gem from Yamaha (even 4 a Live Perf. with a 2 mikes direct 2 the PA)
Just got mine yesterday, try plugging an acoustic in on the amp models (not just the Aco settings), puts out the craziest modulated feedback weirdness, some great effects through the delay/reverb/EQ!
Super disappointed that Yamaha discontinued this model and kept the ones that are full of more Metal and high gain sims. i would have used *all* the sounds on the THR10C, but I'm not about to waste my money on one of the new ones when I would only ever use one or two sims on it.
Same here! I suppose a fix might be to get one of the new ones and attempt to hunt down the 10c tones on the software and reload the presets? Just thinking out loud to myself.
I really don't understand why amp modellers always try to emulate the response of the tone controls of the original amps. The lack of tonal response of some original amps was probably a design fault. Anyway I like my tone controls to work.
Great demo man I have this amp with a few others and I can say for home use is superb Yamaha really thought this through at a great price thanks Yamaha
Just discovered this video after trying to find guides on how to customise settings. Excellent review, do you happen to have links to download your presets at all, as these tones are really nice?
Just got one .......honestly ...for a practice amp the thing is terrific....set it up so it is at ear level ......hold the tuner button down for more than 3 seconds so it goes in stereo mode .....give it some hall reverb ...it gives it more depth and makes it sound bigger ......and enjoy it for what it is......it weighs less than my strat has a bunch of different tones / effects already in it .....so I can just grab it and the guitar and go and have fun practicing.....its great.
@@JacksonBrooksby The default setting is actually Stereo On .......if you see a # in the display the Stereo is off. Play around with it though both modes offer different sounds. Sorry if I confused.
Great review. ! Can you demonstrate the other Yamaha THR10C and THR10X. I am trying to decide which one to get. A lot of stores don't have all these amps. They only carry one kind. I play classic rock, not really death metal. I play stuff like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Beatles, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rolling Stones, Greenday, Van Halen, and Stevie Ray Vaughn..Any suggestions which one I should get? Thank you
Led Zeppelin its so good that you play it twice! jokes aside, I am pretty much on the same spot. adding some grunge bands like alice in chains and Pearl Jam. So yeah I have the thr10 cream and it is just perfect.
Great review, thanks! Really considering this amp, though tried it in a shop and could not get an apartment-compatible sound out, other than a completely clear, acoustic sounding one. Do you have any suggestion on how to set this amp so it can be used without annoying my neighbours, which is the main reason I'm looking at a tiny amp of course (not thinking headphones just now).
Cheers man! I tend to set mine pretty clean and use my pedals. But I can recommend keeping the gain lower and cranking the volume, it will help get a more dynamic drive sound at super low volumes.
Thanks a lot for your answer. I now know that the one I tried was messed up. The shop called again and I'll try again later. So this amp does take pedals no problem? Also looking at the THR10, but feel that it might just be a bit too high gain for me overall. The 10C just sounds nicer on youtube(can't find a shop that has both unfortunately). But for those moments I want a bit more distortion, or play surf guitar I'm hoping to find a suitable pedal or good settings. Mind you, I'm playing a Tele so won't get too thick a sound anyway.
When these first came out I saw Phil x demo one mic'd through the PA, sounded great, I had mine mic'd for a gig a few years ago in a big hall again sounded great
Have you compared this to the new THR10ii? I am very curious because I have seen some people saying this old one sounds better. I really wanted a verdict from someone who tried both
Better is subjective. The 10C more closely emulates the 5 amps out of the box. The 10ii has more options and possibilities to tweak with deep editing with computer/ app .
I absolutely love my THR10c, best gear purchase in a long time. However I've not had the best result with drive or fuzz pedals. Anything particular EQ tips you'd suggest?
+Tom Hey Tom, I feel like the best model on the amp for taking pedals is definitely the Deluxe. EQ wise it depends what pedals your running, if you've got a particularly mid-humpy drive I would suggest backing off the mids on the amp. However the best way I have found is to back off the master on the amp and use the output as main volume. This give the model more 'headroom' I suppose. Still doesn't react exactly the same as a good valve amp but it is certainly good enough for what the amp is aimed for. Thank you so much for checking out the channel and I hope this helped! Cheers
I run a Love Pedals Purple Plexi into the Brit Blues and get a near perfect Bogner Shiva/JCM800 tone. You can dime everything on the Brit Blues and get a great tone as well without a drive pedal. The mini rocks hard too.
Forget external drive or fuzz pedals just download the thr editor ( computer or smartphone ) and engage the gain stage of the compressor, magic! More filth than you can shake a stick at!
Thanks for the demo. Any idea if the THR10C(lassic) can be connected to an iPad for Audio recording via USB? I know the THR10 Mark ii can, but maybe not this one because its USB is not "class compliant"?
Would you recommend this model (Thr10c) over the standard Thr10 for playing styles like: John Mayer, Phillip Sayce, SRV, Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Jimi Hendrix etc?
Hey Dipswitch, based on what I hear from your presets, the top panel knob positions in the vid are not what are in your presets. Can you maybe share some screenshots from the THR Editor that show your settings. I really like all of YOUR preset tones. Thanx!!
I really want to know your presets for your Deluxe and your DC-30. They sounded great before you started tweaking the knobs. ;-) Cheers bro! Take a pic and send them to jeffcurran@bellsouth.net.
Can you help me? I cannot get it to sound like any of the demos... no bass just shrill.. could you show me a pic or something of some settings and I’ll upload what mine sounds like on those?
For sure man I’ll help with what I can! I’m away from the amp at the moment so cannot check my settings. I’ll have a quick look on my laptop and see if I have the setting saved
I've seen on another video, to use the software and check the editor for settings. I know they all don't come with the software, but you should be able to get it somewhere.
It's a 'Frankenstein' or parts Telecaster that I put together myself starting from an American Standard Tele. It does have a Strat pickup in the middle so it is similar to a Nashville but I made the switching is slightly different. Hope this helps :)
Kind of important question I think - I like everything what THR10C has to offer plus on top of that, I like to get some more gain like grunge style, and just a little heavier. Isn't it the best option to get THR10C and then just have some distortion pedal to just have everything I need? I am thinking about THR10 as well, but I was just wondering if what I am talking about is making any sense, it would be everything in one amp. What do you think? Cheers
I absolutely love mine. All the classic sounds you could ever want in one great sounding package. The USB output is superb but I mic mine as well.
isn't the sound not too tinny?

Great job! Sounds really good to me. I had the thr5 a few years back and thought it sounded good but I disliked how quiet the “clean” channel was

@@marcengel8299 thanks :) i've learned smthg
@@lushkordz6643 Nice!
The Class A setting is based on a Matchless DC30, Nice demo, dude!
While matchless dc30 is based on Vox AC30 if i'm not mistaking
What a nice surprise. It sounds really good. Put in a mix, I imagine it’s quite acceptable.
Amazing demo. Definitely one of, if not the best on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers man! You’re the best
Great demo thanks, my THR10C is on the way. Love the Ryan Adams sound at the start.
Just got mine yesterday, try plugging an acoustic in on the amp models (not just the Aco settings), puts out the craziest modulated feedback weirdness, some great effects through the delay/reverb/EQ!
Great demo, i love mine, i do wish you had shown your setting edits though rather than just maxing out the gain on each one.
Great demo mate. Nice to hear some Ryan Adams in a review, it doesn’t happen often!
The last time you'll see this comment. Lol
😂
the class a setting is actually based off a matchless dc30, which itself is based off an ac30
+Yimello It’s one of my favourite settings
I'm gonna buy this right now. I need something more portable for quiet practice and writing music.
It’s perfect for that. That’s exactly what I use it for. Hope you enjoy it!
@@JacksonBrooksby I got it in today. I love the Mini model as well. It sounds great!
Awesome man. The mini model rocks... all the gain you need

Finally, a demo that actually lets me hear what the dang amp sounds like! Thanks
Cheers dude!
@@JacksonBrooksby P.S. I just bought the C model! (Hasn't arrived yet.)
I always thought the Deluxe setting was a 65 Deluxe reverb?
I really don't understand why amp modellers always try to emulate the response of the tone controls of the original amps. The lack of tonal response of some original amps was probably a design fault. Anyway I like my tone controls to work.
Great riff, great quiff. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Great demo man I have this amp with a few others and I can say for home use is superb Yamaha really thought this through at a great price thanks Yamaha
Agreed
How much did you pay for yours?
It was a long time ago so I can't really remember... I think around £200 GBP
Just discovered this video after trying to find guides on how to customise settings. Excellent review, do you happen to have links to download your presets at all, as these tones are really nice?
I don't have a link to downloads right now. I will look into it
The Z amp modeled is 1 pre tube and 1 power tube(6V6 I think), model Z, so not 18 watt, more like 6.
Absolutely fantastic demo! Thanks! PS: Subbed!
Have you tried this amp with a looper pedal? I've heard some of them don't couple well with playing over looper pedal.
Never had a problem with looping with this amp but I mostly only record one layer when looping
Just got one .......honestly ...for a practice amp the thing is terrific....set it up so it is at ear level ......hold the tuner button down for more than 3 seconds so it goes in stereo mode .....give it some hall reverb ...it gives it more depth and makes it sound bigger ......and enjoy it for what it is......it weighs less than my strat has a bunch of different tones / effects already in it .....so I can just grab it and the guitar and go and have fun practicing.....its great.

Thankyou! From what you've said I think the original cream THR10 would be most suited to what you're playing as it covers clean to high gain tones. :)
Led Zeppelin its so good that you play it twice! jokes aside, I am pretty much on the same spot. adding some grunge bands like alice in chains and Pearl Jam.
So yeah I have the thr10 cream and it is just perfect.
Yes you can gig with that,just send a stereo splitter cable from headphones out into PA and you're good to go.
That would be a sweet portable set up

Can you actually use pedals with this? I mean like with a 12 pedal board attached to this?
Wait... I think I used to live in the same building as you. Student Castle by any chance?
Yup! A few years ago now though
So how does it sound taking the headphone out into a mixing desk?
I haven’t tried recording through the headphone output, I usually just use the USB out to record. Sorry man

Danelectro Cool Cat V2 Drive or NUX Drive core.. I use both and they're great with the THR10C. The Cool Cat is awesome as a clean boost with no gain.
