Don't emulate. Create.

Finding the perfect tone is a journey– searching for boutique pedals, making custom cables, swapping out speakers, experimenting with different tubes– each step a discovery that leads down a new creative path. With THR amp heads, Yamaha has designed innovative, flexible amplifiers that will play an integral role in your sonic journey to find that perfect sound.

From home to the stage. THR amp heads make it easy for you to take your own carefully-crafted sound up on stage with you. Enjoy impressive sound pressure, dynamics, response and outstanding compatibility with effects pedals, and experience that instant when your expressive capabilities are transformed directly into sound.
