Modelling combo amplifier that is optimized for use with electric-acoustic and Silent Guitars. Utilising advanced modelling technologies developed by Yamaha, it offers simulations of classic tube condenser and dynamic microphones combined with studio-grade effects to create recording-studio tone direct from the guitar. It offers acoustic mic simulations and one clean amp modeling for electric guitar: CONDENSER (electro-acoustic optimized input with mic simulations for natural, clear tone); DYNAMIC (the dynamic microphone setting that gives the acoustic guitar a tight tonal core); TUBE (electric-acoustic optimized input with mic simulations for natural, clear tone); NYLON (perfect for use with an electro-acoustic classical or nylon string guitar); and EG CLN (classic American clean tube amp – low gain preamp, 6L6 power section and 12-inch speaker with clear, late breakup). It also provides a variety of effects powered by VCM processors, including Compressor, Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo etc. Amplifier was developed with Yamaha's award-winning AV division to offer true hi-fi stereo sound, with two full-range 8cm speakers. The exclusive, specially designed speaker enclosure is optimised to handle both guitar and stereo playback sounds. New Extended Stereo Technology creates an incredibly wide, spacious audio image. Stereo tracks and studio quality reverb take on a depth unimaginable from such a small enclosure. Two-way power supply allows the unit to operate on AC (PSU supplied) or battery power. Virtual Tube Illumination includes a simulated orange tube glow from the metal speaker grille. Amplifier is bundled with Cubase AI, Steinberg's professional music production application that offers full-fledged recording and editing. The THR Editor, available for download from http://download.yamaha.com, offers deep editing of amp and effect parameters using a computer. Additional in-depth controls include compressor and noise gate functions. Amplifier’s design also provides stereo playback from smartphone or other device through its AUX jack or direct from your computer via the USB connection. Yamaha also provides the THR Session, an iOS app which is optimized for this amplifier – it allows slowing down songs without losing audio quality, changing the pitch or repeating any segment of a song to learn even the trickiest guitar part. USB cable, stereo mini cable and Cubase AI Download Information Sheet are all included. Dimensions: 271 x 167 x 120 mm. Weight: 2 kg.
