So today it's the Yamaha THRII Wireless, a guitar amp that both Guitar World and Music Radar say is the best guitar practice amp out there. That's quite the claim, so let's see how good the THR really is.
I hope you enjoy!

I have the THR30II, provided you take the time to pair it with the app (I hate using apps for this kind of stuff but anyway...) and dial some presets you can get quite good tones from this amp. Just a common issue with the android app: you probably need to enable the gps before turning on bluetooth and pair it, otherwise it would not connect (Yamaha: please fix the app, this is a bug, not a feature!!!) after a few minutes/hours fiddling with cab sims, gainmastercompression interactions, I could get some interesting and decent clean/blues/rock/crunch tones and save them in the 5 presets banks. Yes, you definitely need some time/research to dial some settiings in that amp because the default presets that you can hear out of the box are (in my opinon)...not the best you can get (the default cab sim has way too much spongy bass sound) and that's a pity. Using the volume pot on my guitar, the amp sim is quite accurate, it does clean up even using a decent amount of overdrive/gain. As I had a Line6 G10II wireless transmitter, I could keep it and use it directly with this amp. Would this compete with your vintage 4x12 cab+JCM800 or your 4000$ Friedman of course not, and if you are into djent/death metal, I suspect it would not fit your requirements. If you are into blues,classic rock, fusion jazz, etc... and need to practice, busk, play at low volume in a bar or at home, it does the job.

I find the amp knobs are very much on or off (like the Micro Cube) and I like so little reverb, delay or tremolo when I use them. And if you are a poor b*** and could only afford a Thr10 😭 you need it to try the amp variations.

I have had the old 10 watt version for close to 8 years now, and it is pretty much always on as my computer speaker/practice amp and it is still kicking. It also probably tripled the amount of time i spend practicing just by the ease of use. The 30 watt version has many more amp versions and the wireless, but if you are going to use it only as a bedroom practice amp I think it is an overkill, even the 5 watt version is enough for that. You could probably use the 30 watt as a very portable rehearsal amp, so that is a big plus. I highly recommend any version of these.

Hey Elmo, great video as always. As a die-hard Yamaha THR30ii user myself for teaching, I have to agree with you on price - it is far too much for what it is. There are plenty of s*** guitar sounds in the THR30ii as I find myself avoiding many of the Crunch/Lead options and only using the Clean(red - cab sim turned off) and Hi Gain (Green) modes that seems to work really well for me. I also teach bass guitar so it does that quite well too! As a teaching tool it is perfect for me due to its volume, weight, fantastic track play-back (it sounds great to listen to music on) and doesnt require me to use the app to tweak what I want on the go (like the Spark Mini). I never bother with the wireless stuff but two of my students have the same amp and use the Line 6 dongles. It is definitely not the perfect practice amp that the marketing will lead you to believe, as I believe the competition is catching up at a lower price point! - Gabe

Mine has the same "flubby" sound sometimes. I depends a lot on the settings, and a lot on the guitar and how it's set up. Some of my guitars sound amazing with it, others like garbage. The app doesn't do much, but I think it tweaks the right things if you know exactly how to use the them. Yamaha specializes in sound, it seems like they assume that you know as much as they do and what to do with it (Not always the case). I have a THR 10, and a THR 10-2 so I'm pretty brand loyal. I always get a lot good comments on both of them from other players. If they ever come out with a THR10 - 3, I'll buy it too :)

Once you get the THR app dialed in the interface is one of the best in my opinion Running it just off the dials isnt even 10% of the amps true tone Theres alot of other practice amps and interfaces out there,one for everyone Ive tryd most of them The Yamaha just flat out works and sounds amazing,,,,,,after you get the app dialed in its,,,for me the best practice amp out there Live the stereo live the wireless and easy of app use If you want easy it might not be for you,,,if you like really getting into dialing your tones in and practicing with a great mix of backing tracks I suggest putting the time into dialing in the THR I wish Yamaha would bring the THR 100w head back out!!! Everyone is different but i enjoy the THR and anyone whi has come over to my place and played and took the time to go thru the tones and set ups has been blown away I have atleast 3 good friends life long time players and gig’n musicians who have biught there own THR’s after spending time in mine

I preordered the Katana Air when it was announced because I understood what it was, even though it was about 100 USD more than the other "lunchbox" amps; when it finally dies, I might check this out - wireless built in is just so nice, I'm almost a little mad when I have to actually plug stuff in with a cable. That KA is so dented and crusty lol it's been hucked into so many places an amp really doesn't deserve to be thrown but it keeps coming back for more. The Yamaha ones I've tried (other people bring them to jams) always sound great, though. All things equal, a good wireless system with low latency and decent fidelity will always make the choice for me, the way I am spoiled now.

I agree totally with Elmo’s review. I originally owned a THR 10 Il and didn’t like the sound at all, also the app was problematic and I often couldn’t get it to work well. I upgraded to a used THR30ll as I needed something small. Like Elmo, I think it’s ok but not great like the many reviews suggested. I’ve given up on the app and now mostly use the Amps in and out to DI into a DAW.

I own the THR10X from the previous generation; it simulates some high gain amps. Bought it 10 years ago and still use it to this day. Lets me play high gain at neighbour-friendly volume. The onboard tuner is rather inaccurate and the amp comes with no blue tooth, but other than that, no complaints. I would say it sounds way better than this new version... at half the price. If you really just want it for practice, try a THR10, not a THR30. And if you're lucky and the store has some old new stock of the gen1 model, try that instead of the THRII. Just my two cents, though.

Great vid Elmo - thanks! I got the THR10ii wireless version a few years ago and it cost me £299 with another £60 for the wireless transmitter. It was great then but I think the competition has moved on a lot and the Yamaha is starting to show its age. The app is clunky and the firmware updates have not improved anything so maybe there’s a new version in the pipeline? Anyway, it’s still an OK bedroom amp but there are better options out there now.

They are both quite pricy, but no more so than the Yamaha, and I feel they deliver what they promise.

I played through one of those Yamaha practice amps and walked away without thinking twice. Just not my thing. When I think of a practice amp I think of an amp with a speaker that's at least 8". I have the Katana mini but that's more for just taking outside to noodle and not upset my neighbors. A good practice amp should move some air. You have to hear and feel it, especially when you're starting out. You've got to hear and feel the mistakes or you don't learn. Always a genuine pleasure watching you play Elmo.

@Notes-de-l-autre-monde katana mk2 50w combo, blackstar debut 50r, orange crush 35rt. The katana will grow with you and you can really do a lot with the built in effects. The debut 50r and the orange 35rt are really solid practice amps that make fantastic pedal platforms on the clean channel. If you want tube you can't go wrong with the bugera 5w combo or for a bit more money on the used market the v22 head and bugera cab. If you a bugera cab, set aside a little money to upgrade the speaker. They put Turbosound speakers in their cabinets and I have yet to hear a good Turbosound speaker. Very muffled. Stage Right on Amazon has a killer little 5w tube amp with an 8 inch celestion speaker that sounds just dynamite and it's under $200. Monoprice, Stage Right, and Harley Benton are all the same, they just change the logo depending on where you are in the world.

Sounds like one of the speakers is blown. I have the exact same model and it does not make this sound. I have been all the way down the parctice amp, Nux, Fender lt25 and many others, Roland Cube (not the Micro). I now have the Fender, Spark, A Kartana Air EX and THR30 like the one you have there. If you like playing with apps, the Spark a lot of fun. I don't play with a ton of distortion, and I prefer a little reverb and only use Deley occationally, so my tone is quite different from yours. But the Katana and the THR sound way better IMO. Both are fantastic but, I tend to use the THR more. Now I witt try the Hotone you tried the other day to see how that compares :) But for the more budget, conscious beginner I think you can't go wrong with a used Fender Mustang which you can pick up for wery little money.

Ive got a Spark mini and for me, it's a great little practice amp if ya know how to set the controls... Only thing Id do to improve it would be to double the power to 20 watts instead of 10..... Spark 40 is too big for what I want in a practice amp & the Yamy is wayyyy too pricey

I had this amp, and did not really care for the sounds at all. I am glad I am not the only one who feels it doesn't live up to all the hype! Even music playback did not sound all that good through it. For similar form factor amps, the Spark 40 and Mini sound better in every way, hands down. Although my favorite desktop amp, which I know you were somehow not impressed with, is the Vox Adio Air GT. That thing impresses the hell out of me for what it is. Some people hyping these things up need to keep a grip on reality though. When I hear people saying things like, "OMG, it is as good as any tube amp!", I just want to know, how bad is their hearing loss, OR what horrible tube amps, or more importantly what horrible cabs/speakers paired with those amps, that they are comparing to. Are any of these even in the same realm of existence as my Friedmans, Marshalls, Bogners, Mesas, or my Wizard? LOL... No. But those are more difficult to play at night while my wife is sleeping :)

A lot of subjectivity in reviews. I have a Blackstar ID core which I hate. I have Vox pathfinder 15 which isn't particularly my cup of tea. I have a Spark 40....aggh...don't get me started. I have some small Boss thing which has classic wasp in a jar distortion. I have a Marshall MG10 ...it basically gives me one sound but it suits me the best and has a better basic rock sound than my Marshall AVT 50.

thr 30ii if you want quality soundings, Spark Mini (and not 40 as it is quite muddy) for the "online features" and app, and Hotone Pulze if you are a geek and like touched screens rather than knobs which the Yamaha has which means, if you don't want, you don't need to use their app and that's a real "plus" ... I definitely would go for the Yamaha even if more expensive ... that I own since it came out 😉 (I also own the Spark mini and Spark Go and Boss Dual Cube ...)

Hi Elmo. I thought for that kind of price (a great very versatile second hand Fender or Marshall combo could also be bought!), I don't care if the guy that got it first time around kicked the absolute shit out of it at max volume, it should not have been an issue. I'm fed up with amp manufacturer's putting out so called loud amps where the speakers are clearly not up to the task! Go on Yamaha spend some dough and configure this thing with the hardware needed to deliver the goods - utter nonsense and anyone who buys this has obviously more money than sense. I own both the Harley Benton 5 and 15 amps and collectively they are half the price of this little beastie - go figure. They are great and this is not, period. I guess that's my rant over (Phewhhhh). As ever wild guitar skills and demonstrative and informing play from your good self with no bias or favouritism, how refreshing in this age of hype and bullshit! I am as ever your servant. Kindest regards Alex the K

Had it. Sold it. Stuck with the Katana mini for convenience. I think Yamaha should make Dedicated electric guitar THR, no one cares about acoustic and bass if you are buying an electric guitar amp. They need to upgrade the tones and the interface. I absolutely dislike the 3.5 mm speakers and the metal chassis might have something to do with the tone suck.

Too bad about the speaker. Thought about buying this THR30II Wireless but wasn't convinced for my use case. The new Katana Air "EX" might be a better desktop option with two 5" speakers instead of 3.5", a proper wood cab, works with BOSS BT pedals, and has battery compartment. But it's $150CAD more than the already pricey THR. Neither THR or EX have an FX loop. The Kat Gen 3 100w head, with the fx loop and one 5" speaker, might be even more practical (and much cheaper). Gen 3 has stereo headphone out and bluetooth capability, but you have to buy a BT dongle for another $120CAD. I recently went with the Katana GO cause I enjoy a good headphone for cranked guitar tones, given the GO's cab sim is half decent.

They're way overpriced, but I scored the 20-watt THR10-II a couple years ago for $100 and the one thing I can say is that the speakers really do deliver a crystal clear sound that no tube amp I've ever played delivers. Every last note rings out individually with no muddiness. That said, they don't sound good at high volumes and they have very little bass due to having tiny speakers. For low volume situations, I don't think anything compares to the clarity of the tone you get, especially with a little reverb and some high gain. Again, definitely agree they should cost 30-40% less.
@alexdenton6586
@alexdenton6586 11 дней назад
The kings have not yet been dethroned. The Positive Grid and the Hotone remain far superior to the Yamaha, and even more so when you connect them to an audio system with quality speakers-they are killers. Even the Fender Mustang GTX remains an excellent choice, even though it is bulkier. The original presets are excellent, and the app for phone and tablet is intuitive, easy to use, etc. Modeling is clearly the future. With eyes closed, no one can hear the difference; musicians these days listen too much with their eyes. Yamaha, for me, is like the Boss Katana: synonymous with quality. But the apps or software on PC are not at all intuitive-you really have to understand the logic, and even then. Don’t forget, the amp its not the most important thing. The most important thing is the speaker-that’s what makes all the difference. If you take good modeling and connect it to a quality system, it will always sound good.
