And thanks to THR's unique design and focus, stadium-filling volume isn't a pre-requisite - everything about this amp is designed to fit the way you play, right down to the need to keep it quiet sometimes. With tone and feel like this, you'll appreciate the ability to keep playing all night…

Comments about Yamaha thr5:
This is quite an amazing amp. I didn't quite understand the power of it when I saw it at the store and never thought it could produce the sound that it produces. The amount of amp/effects combos when hooked up via USB is spectacular and I can sometimes get lost playing with the tones.
As a practice amp it really makes me want to just sit back and enjoy the sound of one guitar for a very long time and the tone is unbelievably good.
The physical design is great. I love the fact that it glows red when the amp is turned on. The only thing better would be that it heats up my little office on a cold winter day. Perhaps there would be a firmware upgrade that will allow me to do that sometime before winter.
There are a couple of issues, however. The software interface is a bit clunky. It took me a few tries to figure out how to save a sound setting into a separate slot. Once I alter a sound, a dialog comes up asking me if I want to save it. From there, it should assign itself to one of the slots automatically. I have to go and do that myself. Also, it took me a few times to realize that I had to save the session itself to realize my additional setting slots.
Regarding recording, I use Reason 6.5 and use the mbox as my interface to my mac. When I try to go direct in via USB, I have to change my interface from my mbox to the yamaha. Ideally, I'd like to be able to select my yamaha interface and have the output come out through the mbox sso I can hear it in the mix and headphones.
This aside, this is an amazing amp. I bought it as a practice amp so all of the other features are kind of like icing on the cake. Thanks for putting out a fantastic product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
