Yamaha thr10 vs vox ac103/2/2024 ![]() That's on the 0.1W setting - I haven't bothered with 1W! I can get to 5 on the volume dial which doesn't distort (no master volume on this amp) - so I need an attenuator to push the tubes.Ī master volume model would probably work or pedals for distortion. I bought a 1W Marshall Offset head and I can't push the tubes with a 1x10 in my current apartment in Tokyo. I'll tell you now - unless you're after a clean tone, you won't be able to push the power amp at all. I find myself surprised when people recommend 5W+ tube amps. I've looked at the Yamaha a few times, but I just wanted to go tube :D I find there's just something missing with modeling amplifiers however, I love using simulations instead of pedals. It is a fun and easy little setup which allows a lot of flexibility and utility.As a preface, I've used sims and modeling and I much prefer tube amps. I often live stream my practice and have friends jump in. I also can stream video, audio, mic, guitar, as well as screens all at the same time. This allows me to mix into tracks quite easily and also to record my own playing. I run my guitar into the THR, then out to a Boss RC-300 Loop Station (I also have a shure mic plugged into the RC-300), then from the RC-300 to a Presonus AudioBox and into my computer. I have others in storage but I selected the best for what they do. main gig amp is an Orange, backup amp is a Fender Champion 100, home practice is a Yamaha THR. However, if I were to do it all over, I would still pick the Yamaha THR series. This question is a common one, so be ready for people to refer you to other older posts asking the same thing. Feel free to ask if you have any questions regarding it. It has a reasonable amount of fx, but not nearly enough to get caught in an endless loop of knob tweaking, but enough to be able to dial in close enough to be similar to a specific song.įor backing tracks you can transmit audio from a phone via bluetooth, and you'll have two seperate knobs for backing track volume and guitar volume so it's quite easy to blend the two.Īnyway, i happily recommend it. It sounds great, and the effects built in does too. I am able to use mine with a baby sleeping next room, although i do play quite relaxed and fingerstyle which helps - but you can always plug in headphones to be completely quiet. ![]() ![]() I am looking into getting a transmitter too, which i believe will also be very neat. The fact that its rechargable is really great, i was a bit hestitant when i got it since it's quite a bit more expensive, but it's so useful. I have a Yamaha thr10ii which i'll happily recommend. Back when I started playing (many years ago), battery powered was synonymous with poor quality. I know the Yamaha series has a few with rechargeable batteries, which may be useful when I pop over to a friend's to play. I'm also curious if people find portability useful. Not sure if the built in wireless features are more of an upsell, given that I can buy a separate receiver/transmitter. Nice, but not deal breakers: the idea of being able to have wireless functionality is very appealing-I have a small office and keeping cable clutter down would be useful. Playing along with backing tracks/songs/a looper pedal is also important. I live in a rowhouse and mostly practice after my wife goes to bed, so being able to sound good at a low volume is a premium. Ideally under $500, but I have some flex in the budgetĪs context, I would only be using this for practice, primarily in my home office.The ability to use with a looper for practice would be great Convenience of use: small size and wireless functionality. ![]() So long as I can get blues, rock/metal, and basic clean tones, with some nice reverb/delay, I am good to go. I do not need 100s upon 100s of customization options.
