• The THR10/5 utilizes a newly developed amp-modeling technology made possible with Yamaha's original VCM technology*. With this new technology, the user interface is able to re- produce the operational characteristics of each control to deliver guitar amp sound with greater realism. The THR10/5 offers high quality audio sound that only a company like Yamaha, with its exper- tise in advanced audio technologies, can deliver. lts ability to playback audio files on a com- puter via a USB connection, or playback audio files on a smartphone or other audio playback device connected to the AUX IN jack, makes it feel like you are in the studio, playing along with the musicians as they record. And because the THR10/5 is portable, you can enjoy this experi- ence wherever you like. + Incorporates VCM Effects similar to those found in Yamaha's high-end mixers for high quality effects. + Utilizes Yamaha‘’s original Extended Stereo technology to deliver an unbelievably wide stereo image, wider than the unit's compact size. + Includes Steinberg's professional quality music production software Cubase Al that lets you enjoy full-fledged recording in the convenience of your home. < Two-way power system allows the unit to operate either on AC power or battery power so you can use the amp outside and other places that lack access to AC power. + Includes a chromatic auto tuner. *What is VCM Technology? An original physical modeling technology developed by Yamaha, VCM Technology reproduces the characteristics of analog circuitry at à micro level to accuratel} reproduce the modeled equipment.

• When the power is switched ON, the most recent amp type is selected. [About amp types] THR's GAIN @ and MASTER @ controls work in the same way as the preamp and master controls on a tube amp. The GAIN @ control provides preamp gain and distortion while the MASTER @ control affects power amp level. The response of the MASTER @ control differs depending on the amp model used but it affects Volume, gain and power amp compression.Using the GUITAR OUT- PUT ® control you can use the amp's GAIN © and MASTER @ 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 incred- ibly accurately, \vith 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.

Names And Functions 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 dy- namic, driving bass tone. AC0: 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 AC is selected with the AMP © control. (Setting the blend function to its minimum level produces the pickup direct sound only while a maximum setting produces the mic sound only.) © 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 © 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.
