When i bought my first electric guitar i was looking for an amp, and i actually got the idea to buy the same amp from your channel, i bought the Yamaha THR10X version, the sound is great and im amazed how loud it can actually sound, makes the spoon in my teacup shake.. for real :D
Can you plug in your iPhone with a USB input?
Sold my multi effect pedal and got mine about 2 months ago and LOVE IT!!! thank you for this video, It help me greatly on making the decision. It really has motivated and facilitate practice and falling in love with my guitar again! keep rocking!
Yep, I'm a huge fan of this amp, and have recorded several albums with it. The Brit Hi-Gain amp is the best JCM 800 sim I've ever used, and sounds really great with an overdrive in front. The direct USB input records very well. I often use it as an audio interface thru the "flat" setting, running other pedals and amp sims thru it, and it sounds great.
The buzzing is probably just the normal sound of a cranked guitar near an amp. If that's the case, you can try the noise gate using the THR remote app or just embrace it and use it in your playing. These amplifiers are amazing! The dynamics of the VCM are so reactive and very close to using a valve amplifier.
I just found out about you today, and you are really good!! I'm only 3 months into my electric, but it is so fun impressing my friends and family, definitely gonna keep learning
I love how you didn’t edit out the part when you broke a string!
Had to explain the guitar switch :)
What about the other videos where she did?
I use this as my practice amp too. I play 5-string bass in my band, and the bass setting picks up the low B (actually Bb as we play a half step down) really well.
I feel like a proud papa watching you, you did such a great job!!
Thanks Rachel, I've had my eye on these amps for awhile and think I'll finally be buying one 👍
Hope you enjoy it if you end up getting one!
I've had the high gain version for a cpl yrs. It's a fantastic little amp. Love the fact its battery operated also.. great video. 🤘
I'm a beginner at guitar and bought this amp thanks to your advice. I added an overdrive pedal cause I think it's the weakness of this thr10 :) thank you from France for your awesome channel. You are an example for me !
Hi - which o/d pedal did you go for and are you pleased with results?
what pedal are you using?
I'm in love with my Oeange mini Crush amp. We use it in our band to warm up with before our gigs. I use it at my a=apartment with headphones so as I don't bother the neighbors. Then again I've heard it said if it's too loud your too old. lol
For those on a budget you might want to check out the blackstar id core 10. Also comes with software USB, etc. It runs about 100.
Rachelf your the one why I started playing electric guitar :) thanks I appreciate it
I also got a THR10! I bought it when I started playing bass, it is my first amp and it is one of the best, been playing on it for at least 5 years. God I was lucky on buying that one 😂
WATTS FUNNY ?
it's better than my Roland cube and my Boss Katana Mini, but to be fair it does cost more. It is great to see how you have expanded your guitar style!
Thanks for the demo of the amp! Great review. I'll be buying one of these. Keep up the great videos, Rachelf!
Thanks so much!
I just noticed that your thumbnail's are becoming really cool these days. Very creative.
Thanks so much, have been working on them!
You're learning arpeggios. So cool.
You can smile even if your guitar string breaks :)
I really like the amp sound, when I played it when I was at a guitar store, I fell in love with it! Right now, I am playing with a Harley Benton HB-10G, but after this video, I am thinking of buying this one! Keep on ROCKING BABY! Salutes- T
It is a cool amp, thanks!
Hey I have both the THR10 and the ATH-M50x headphones too! I highly recommend both as well. They’re fantastic products.
I got me a THR10C and I love this thing!
Awesome!
Sorry for the blur!
*starts to play Song2*
Well done! Detailed and concise. Very informative.
Thank you!
that’s a cool looking amp! love your channel by the way :)
Thanks so much!
I've got a THR10X, I found it's much more suited to things I tend to play more often (sounds mean with a TS9 infront of it) and it can do other stuff, too, if you fiddle with presets using the PC software or download some presets.
It's handy that it also functions as a stereo guitar interface and can provide separate stereo DI at the same time which is pretty cool...especially cool for beginners since you can get straight into recording and what not
It's a nifty little thing I keep around for when I need it, and it tends to get used more than my studio room setup or my amps rofl
I probably would have gone for the THR10X if I were to get it now, but when I got it I wanted to get the one that had the most different options!
@@RachelfGuitarTrue! The THR10 is the best overall model. However, like eating chocolate chip cookies, somehow I just had to go and buy the other two models after buying the first one and being impressed. Plus, partly out of curiosity. The THR10X has unbelievable metal tones-I lean towards that one-and good authentic 50’s Tweed Deluxe/Class A power amp tones are not hard to get on the Classic, except the Classic has a lot less gain. These units have a much more realistic tube like sound than some modeling units. That’s why I went for them even though they’re very expensive. It’s also nice to be able to plug it into a stereo power amp for a bigger louder sound and spacious stereo reverb and other effects.
BEST AMP EVER
yes but its humming loud on LEAD and MODERN
@@januszwu973 Throw in a noise gate (either as a pedal or on the THR editor programm).
Gaming Singularity I’ve got both. The Blackstar is at a good price point, and has some nice features, but I prefer the Yamaha as it can run on batteries, aesthetically doesn’t bother my better half when it’s lying around like the Blackstar ID 20, and is easier to get the sounds I’m after. Also my Blackstar cuts out on the high gain settings ( fortunately I’m not into high gain).
So imho, if your budget is tight go Blackstar ID, if you can find a good price THR, get it!
Well I’m sold!
I might have to look into this! Right now my only amp is a little $20 one and I'm pretty sure my bass will eventually destroy it 😅 Also, that leather jacket looks pretty badass on you!
It is really great and versatile if you have the opportunity to get one! Thanks :)
YES!!!! I have the same headphones. They are totally excellent.
Agreed! :)
I got a THR10C based on the sound of your previous videos. It's good for clean tones, but it can overdrive by turning up the gain. I love it. It's a perfect for my needs. The only drawback is the headphone jack is 1/4" in a day when 3.5mm is dominant. I had to get an adapter.
@retrotd Although pretty much all headset jacks are terminated 3.5mm, better quality *studio* headphones ordinarily come with a 6.5mm to 3.5mm adapter included IME. 6.5mm is still the contemporary default/standard headphone socket implementation on many amps. e.g. All current models, both of my Fenders have 6.5mm sockets, whereas both Blackstars both have 3.5mm. I inadvertantly destroyed a pair of near new, but fortunately not super expensive Yamaha headsets because of that flimsy 3.5mm socket, and was lucky I didn't wreck the socket as well. 3.5 is fine for an .mp3 player, smartphone or static use around a PC, but in a (home) studio environment where I'm moving around with a guitar attending amp settings, mixers, pedalboard etc I much prefer 6.5mm. It's more robust and will stand up to repeated use and abuse better.
Hope this helps if you were looking for a practice amp! What's your favorite practicing tool?
I recently got the new Boss Katana Air. It's has a wireless guitar lead, same size as the THR10, sounds great like the THR10, but has a lot of bluetooth features like being able to adjust the amp from across the room and play music or other backing tracks. I thinks its a $100 more then the THR10 and worth every penny. Both are wonderful but with all the features ill take the Boss over the Yahama even though the Yahama has style.
I use the peavey 158 and It’s really good for the price. But the Yamaha THR10 has more features and it’s size would fit perfectly in furniture of my bedroom : )
I use Bais amp 2 for everything. I even sold my Peavey 6505 mh because Bias is too easy to use and sounds great.

A metronome!
If you dropped your amp and now it buzzes when the volume is loud then maybe there is something loose in there. Maybe a screw or maybe it's something you can easily glue back in place. Inspect the amp all around and locate where the screws are that keep the cover on. Then very carefully take out the screws and open it and take a look inside.
Roland Cube 30. Hands down best practice amp I've ever owned. I've had many different amps over the past 29 years.
Best selling video ever. I watched it and immediately bought it. You should get sponsored by Yamaha. 😂
I reeeally wanted one as my first amp (the green version), but was way over budget. So I ended up with a Vox VT20. I still think I would have been more happy with the yamaha. Great video, thanks for your input.
I'm sure what you have now is great too! Thanks :)
Tell me please - is the combo still relevant today or are there already more successful combos for the home?
Very nice amp
Your lead playing is great! Nice review as well! You should do Aces High by Iron Maiden! Also, my modeling amp buzzes as well, and sometimes this is actually the guitar as well. If you try turning in a different direction then this can actually help reduce buzzing noises a lot. Also, try to play in an area with minimal radio interference (radios, TVs, computers, phones...). Good luck!
Thank you! Yeah I'm not totally sure what the cause is, it still works great overall but I'm a little concerned that some of my recordings have some extra noise!
Rachelf is it happening on both of your guitars? And is it a hiss or a buzz?
How well does the amp support pedals? Normally access or?
Your hands on a 6 are like mine on a wide 7. Fascinating
Get a 3/4 inch piece of wood approx 1 inch by 1 inch with about a 1/2 inch hole, shape it to fit so you can access the # 1 preset and also not coverup the round digital display, superglue it around the toggle switch to protect it. Bump that minie toggle and crack the delicate pc board the toggle is mounted to and the amp is ruined. My first 2 thrs lasted about a year without a toggle cover. My 3rd thr is still travelling with me 6 years now. Protect that toggle!!!!
I've been meaning to get the THR5 for about a year. It will be better than my current amp and it has the plus of allowing to record straight to the computer which is something that I really want to try and learn. I'm not sure if this offer is done everywhere, but on the three places I checked where I can buy it, it also comes with a Cubase licence.
I don't think they are making the THR10 in 10 Watts anymore. I think you can only get the "THR10II" in 20 Watts.
I love the tone on the first one with the bridge pick-up
wow! U should do more gear review videos as this one was very clear and thorough. That amp was definitely on my list, however, I opted for a Boss Katana 100.
Thank you! Heard good things about that one as well!
im you new subscriber from Philippines
cool reviews nice playing
And specially the sweet smile:-)
you make people feel good
What about amps like the Orange Micro Terror/Micro Dark? Or Joyo Zombie? And a cheap cab.
Idk man I have the joyo zombie and I think it's a little to loud for a cab
I have the same amp. I take it jam sessions and small gigs. It's perfect.
Protip: Use the software to get access to the compressor, gate, and different reverb types.
omg did you see how fast she changed guitar in the intro new world record
When I choose my ampli for my band rehearsal and my UA-cam channel I try also the Yamaha THR10 but then I try the Roland cube,then I choose the Roland Cube 60 ,u must to try it!!!!
Would you still recommend it in 2022 or would you suggest a different model now?
Hi, i really like your videos! I wanted to ask, does the dimension of the hands matter when It comes to play guitar? Because i have small hands and short fingers but i really want to start playing the guitar :)
Thanks in advance if you will reply and sorry for my english :) greetings from Italy
+Chiaretta Chiara
I think you should look at JJ's One Girl Band channel. She has very small hands.
ua-cam.com/video/4M11FyTdPDk/v-deo.html
Hi, I also have short fingers and I've been playing guitar for a long time, so I can tell you that even though some things might be a little harder to play because your fingers will have a shorter reach, overall you should be ok. Practice every day and your hand will become limber enough to play even some of the harder chords and scales. Really, it all depends on how badly you want to learn to play. Hope that helps.
By the way, your english is just fine. ☺
Anyone can play guitar regardless of hand size! Some stretches could be a bit harder with smaller hands, but there's ways to get around that and they'll become easier over time. I'm sure you'll have an awesome time with It! And agreed with the other comment, your English is great! Thanks :)
The smaller the fingers the faster the fingers 😉
Hey Chialetta, remember there are short scale guitars and basses like the Mustang. Maybe that model would suit you better, if you like the sound.
Watching this video prompted me to dig deeper into the nature of preamps, as opposed to amps. I've always been confused by the relationship between the two on a guitar amp. After some reading, I understood gain better and the stages of an amp. I realized I'd been using my Orange Tiny Terror wrong, because I didn't understand the signal flow through it. See? You've inspired me. ;-)
Awesome, glad to hear that :)
A broken string on camera that is bad ass!!!!
So cool! Thanks
Well Hello Rachelf .. what a completely pro' job of a review .. it's just been so much of a pleasure to watch you become so confident & such a cool guitar player .. in only a couple of years .. lots of love & best wishes for the future .. Adunbee is such fun too huh ? .. I saw a comment from you on her recent post .. she is so upbeat & positive .. always makes me smile .. plus lots of music I would never heard of but for listening to you two .. Not all my kind of thing I am really into Tony Joe white at the moment & Larkin Poe .. Plus I hurt my left ring finger .. so I have been playing slide a lot .. byee
Thanks for the kind words! Slide sounds like it would be fun, but hope your finger recovers fast!
when will we see your own song???..and btw your guiter is so nice...really nice to see your happy smile face... 🙂
Still working on it, hopefully not that long! Thanks :)
Great job, Rachel! Loved seeing the S Series Guitar. Shame a string broke! I’d love to see you do a video about how to tune that guitar-seems complicated..?
It is a bit and clearly I'm still having some issues since the string broke! Could definitely do a video on it in the future :)
Rachelf ok. Never be afraid to ask a guitar tech at a store if you’re not sure. They may even recognize YOU! 😊
Is that a stock pickup in the bridge?
So cool! I’m looking for a travel amp... This might be the one 🤙 thank you!
Hi Rachelf, as I moved in a flat and am bit noodling with both my guitar and my bass, I thought again of this amp. Did you finally regret not to get the THRX version ? I am personnally interested in this one, because of its versatility since it has a JCM800 marshally sound, among others things (bass settings !). Are you still enthusiastic about this amp in 2021, in spite of the huge hype over the Katana amps ? Thank you for your inspiration and smile, it is always a joy to see your amazing progression. Cheers !
Love the video 👌
Nice playing..and nice review
Hey you should do some Bon Jovi covers. I would love to see you play some songs from the slippery when wet era :)
And it really looks cool too....at least I think so. ☺ The phaser and phlanger are really cool....lol. Not too bad for a practice amp, and the price is good too. All that in one compact design, Yamaha has always made cool equipment. I have a set of their speakers for my stereo (do people still have stereos...lol) I'd say it's a winner! Thanks for sharing Rachel! 👍😎
Yeah it does! Thank you :)
The Power of the Flanger is strong with this one! lol
I’m ordering this amp right now😁😁
I was between this amp, the vox ac4 and the line 6 spider v. Unfortunately the economy of my country went to the toilet so I couldn't buy none of them LOL! Great review by the way! Cheers
Oh no, sorry to hear that, hope you can get one someday! Thank you :)
Trust me do not get the line 6 amp unless you are only going to play clean the distortion on the spider series is notoriously bad definitely look into other amps my friend trust me
Thanks m8! cheers!
This is a cool video and very info rich. I recently bought a Katana and was disappointed. Whats up with all the hype around the Katana. This seems more reasonable and better all around. Thoughts?
WHY IS IT SO GOOD
I like the Boss Katana mini amp. My Ibanez is blue too!
Can you make a cover ofqueen the show must go on
i am about to buy the new version which also have Bluetooth function
Hi Rachelf.
What do you think of the THR10X?
I needed this video 5 months ago :(((((((((((((
Is this a good amp for Learning and practicing Linkin Park's songs?
10:41 my heart broke lol..😂I love your videos👍💙
THANKS THER LOVE YA
Sold! also way to power through Rach! the handy dandy extra axe ( SEE YOU PEOPLE THIS IS WHY WE NEED SO MANY GUITARS!!!!11one (just in case!) Also I too switched to BiasFX ( check out Steamroller Strat and and a few others I made for Metal and Bass
And then we need more spare guitars in case those strings break too :)
Would this amp be good for live performance and making a professional track?
Only thing wrong with the video, at points, you forgot to mute the camera audio, but good review regardless
Got a Marshall MG15CFR good practice Amp
I found a ton of tone loss using this and even the Katana as a DAW. A dedicated DAW like a Focusrite or Behringer gives a much cleaner/stronger signal.
I haven't had issues until recently after moving to a new apartment, and even if you don't use it for important recording it's still convenient to have around for seeing how you sound while practicing! I am curious to try using a Focusrite interface as well though
You really should get the 2i2,I have one and it sounds amazing
Hey Rachel, at this point of your time with guitar, are you so used to the Ibanez wizard neck that when you try a different guitar (Fender or Gibson) it feels like a baseball bat? Good or bad? Anyone else experienced this?
Good recommendation VOX Pathfinder 10
Nice. Try some deoxit5 on the pots. If it has pots.
My first amp is line 6 spider v 20w mkii
It's just horrible, hard to achieve good tone with it, currently thinking in boss katana 50
Thx
Rachelf how long did you play guitar now. Because I see videos when you start and I see my self I struggle so much. I play 10 months
About 2 and a half years now. All that really matters is having fun with it, it can be a struggle at times but if you keep at it you'll get where you want to be :). Best of luck with your playing!
WHY WAS I SO GOOD FOR THER OH GOD
Which one is better this one or Fender 10g amp ?
definitely the thr
Some website reviewed this amp as suitable for apartment practise without annoying your neighbours
How is the sound with headphones? Most amps phone out are so bad... Thanks
I was wondering if this would be a decent busking amp? I can’t afford a nice Roland 😢
I think it could be since it's battery powered! I've seen some videos of people using it for busking.
Do you ever plan on playing in a band one day?
You are amazing
This or a roland microcube?
Is the tone knob on your guitar all the way down?
Have you tried a looper with the yamaha?
