[About amp types]

THR's GAIN 5 and MASTER 6 controls work in the same way as the preamp and master controls on a tube amp. The GAIN 5 control provides preamp gain and distortion while the MASTER 6 control affects power amp level. The response of the MASTER 6 control differs depending on the amp model used but it affects volume, gain and power amp compression. Using the GUITAR OUTPUT 13 control you can use the amp's GAIN 5 and MASTER 6 controls to set your tone at any level.

THR utilizes a newly designed amp-modeling technology using Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology. VCM gives THR the power to model real amps incredibly accurately, with each control working and responding exactly as it does on the real thing.

CLEAN: Rich, clean tones from a 6L6 power section with gentle breakup for incredible jazz, blues and country sounds.

• When the BASS, MIDDLE, and TREBLE controls are all set to 0, there is no guitar sound output.

CRUNCH: Low-powered, class-A tube output with bright, clear, dynamic power amp distortion characteristics.

LEAD: Classic British single channel tone. A combination of a low-gain preamp section and EL34s in the power section give rich, controllable distortion with great midrange definition.

BRIT HI: EL34s keep the classic British clarity while a higher gain preamp allows you to push the amp into serious distortion.

MODERN: Ultra high-gain input section combined with 6L6 output section delivers smooth, powerful distortion and awesome power amp compression.

• The following amp types are available only on the THR10.

BASS: High-power all-tube design for dynamic, driving bass tone.

ACO: Electro-acoustic optimized input with mic simulations for natural, clear tone.

FLAT: Flat response clean input for line sources, tone and effect controls allow shaping of non-guitar sources.

GAIN

Adjusts the amount of guitar distortion. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the amount of distortion.

• On the THR10, the blend function, which blends the pickup direct sound with the mic simulation sound, is active when ACO is selected with the AMP ④ control. (Setting the blend function to its minimum level produces the pickup direct sound only while a maximum setting produces the mic sound only.)

6 MASTER

Adjusts the volume for the amp section. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase volume while reproducing compression and poweramp distortion of the simulated amp.

• Only adjusts the volume when BASS, ACO, or FLAT is selected with the AMP ④ control (THR10 only).

BASS (THR10 only)

Tone adjustment for the guitar's sound. Rotate the knob clockwise to enhance the low range frequencies.

MIDDLE (THR10 only)

Tone adjustment for the guitar's sound. Rotate the knob clockwise to enhance the mid-range frequencies.

TREBLE (THR10 only)

Tone adjustment for the guitar's sound. Rotate the knob clockwise to enhance the high-range frequencies.

10 TONE (THR5 only)

Tone adjustment for the guitar's sound.
Rotate the knob clockwise to brighten the sound and counterclockwise to darken it.

1 EFFECTS

Selects one of the four different effects; CHORUS, FLANGER, PHASER, and TREM- OLO. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the amount of each effect.

• Rotate the knob fully to the left (● position) to set the effect OFF.

DLY/REV

Selects one of the four different effects; DLY (delay), DLY/REV (delay/reverb), SPRING (spring reverb), and HALL (hall reverb). Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the amount of each effect.

• Rotate the knob fully to the left (● position) to set the effect OFF.

• When DLY or DLY/REV is selected, the TAP/TUNER ③ button can be used to set the delay time freely.

Adjusts the overall volume of the guitar sound.

13 VOLUME (THR5 only)

Adjusts the overall volume of the guitar sound.

USB/AUX OUTPUT (THR10 only)

Power

The THR10/5 can operate on either battery power or with the power adaptor.

• Power is automatically supplied from the power adaptor when the adaptor is connected to the unit with batteries installed. To prevent batteries from leaking, we recommend that the batteries be removed from the unit when using the power adaptor.

- When using the power adaptor

Connect the supplied power adaptor to the DC IN jack located on the rear side of the THR10/5. Connect the AC plug to a power outlet.

- When using batteries

Use AA alkaline batteries or nickel hydride batteries*.

Make sure that the batteries are installed with their +/- poles aligned properly as shown below.

• When using nickel hydride batteries, we recommend eneloop® batteries. When using eneloop batteries, please read the eneloop battery instruction manual carefully. (eneloop® is a registered trademark of Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.)
• Do not use manganese batteries.
• Follow the "CAUTION" section (pages 4-5) to use the product in a safe and proper manner.

The amp turns off automatically when battery power is depleted. After replacing the batteries or connecting the power adaptor, turn the power switch OFF and wait for ten seconds before turning the power switch back ON again.
