Yamaha THR10II Modelling Combo

Yamaha THR10II — Desktop Modeling Combo Amp for Realistic Tube Tones at Home

The Yamaha THR10II is a 20-watt desktop modeling combo amp built around Virtual Circuitry Modeling, engineered to deliver convincing tube-amp character at living-room volumes. Bluetooth audio, hi-fi playback, and class-compliant USB make this model a guitar amp, desktop speaker, and recording front-end in one box.

What Sets the Instrument Apart

Virtual Circuitry Modeling recreates amplifier behavior at the component level, so response and breakup feel closer to a real tube circuit than snapshot-based modelers. Extended Stereo Technology uses two 3.1" (8 cm) full-range speakers to project a soundstage wider than the cabinet. The class-compliant USB port turns the amp into a plug-and-play audio interface with no drivers required.

Amp Models and Effects — Wide-Ranging Tones From One Desktop Box

The Amp selector exposes five onboard voicings — clean, crunch, lead, high-gain, and rhythm — with ten additional guitar amp models, three bass models, three acoustic mic models, and three flat voicings unlocked via the THR Remote editor app. Eight effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, echo, echo/reverb, spring reverb, hall reverb) sit on the Effect knob.

• Amp Models: 5 onboard + 10 via app — clean to high-gain for electric, bass, and acoustic-electric guitars.
• Effects: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Echo, Echo/Rev, Spring Reverb, Hall Reverb — plus Compressor and Noise Gate in the editor.
• Users can instantly recall their favorite settings using the 5 onboard memory slots.

Bluetooth, USB, and Headphone Output — Silent Practice and Recording

Bluetooth handles audio playback and MIDI communication with the THR Remote app, so backing tracks and tone editing share one wireless link. The class-compliant USB port turns the unit into a plug-and-play audio interface for Cubase AI or any DAW, with a stereo-mini headphone output for silent practice.

• Bluetooth: Audio + MIDI — stream tracks and edit tones wirelessly.
• USB: USB Audio Class 2.0 compliant — driver-free recording.
• A stereo mini (3.5 mm) output provides silent practice while maintaining the stereo image.

Compact Cabinet, Full-Range Speakers, and Front-Panel Controls

The cabinet measures 368 × 183 × 140 mm and weighs 3.0 kg, small enough for a desk or nightstand. Two 3.1" (8 cm) full-range drivers deliver 20 W (10 W + 10 W stereo), with Extended Stereo Technology widening the image. Top-panel controls cover Amp, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Effect, Echo/Rev, Master, Guitar Output, and Audio Output.

• Rated Output: 20 W (10 W + 10 W stereo) — small-room volume.
• Speakers: 2 × 3.1" (8 cm) full-range — hi-fi-grade drivers.
• The desktop footprint is defined by dimensions of 368 × 183 × 140 mm.
• Weight: 3.0 kg — backpack-portable for travel and lessons.
• Power Source: AC adapter only — no built-in battery.

Home Players, Apartment Guitarists, and Bedroom Producers

This unit is the right choice for home-based electric, acoustic-electric, and bass players who need studio-quality amp tones at living-room volumes. Apartment dwellers benefit from the headphone output and silent USB recording path, while songwriters get a class-compliant audio interface plus Cubase AI in the box.

Yamaha THR — A New "Third Amp" Category

The company introduced the original THR series to challenge the idea that a practice amp had to be a smaller version of a stage combo. This model carries that "third amp" philosophy forward with Virtual Circuitry Modeling and hi-fi playback in one compact box.
