2 Introduction Introduction Finay. The amp you ve been waiting for. Finding the perfect tone is a journey searching for boutique pedas, making custom cabes, swapping out speakers, experimenting with different tubes each step a discovery that eads down a new creative path. With THR amp heads, Yamaha has designed innovative, fexibe ampifiers that wi pay an integra roe in your sonic journey to find that perfect sound. 1 2

3 THR100H Dua/THR100H Features THR100H Dua/THR100H Features THR100H Dua/THR100H Features That sound A great amp aways has a certain something. More than just great tone, it has dynamics that breathe ife into every note and give punch to every chord. With THR amp heads, Yamaha s engineers have captured the component-eve interaction between the speakers and the power amp (the murky word known as the damping factor) and tuned it to perfection, achieving a new eve of performance exceence, even at ow voumes. Don t worry about hearing the difference you fee it as soon as you pug in and pay. 3 Five amps at the fick of a switch The tubes they are a-changin Whether you use pedas for your overdrive or just crank up your voume contro, one great amp sound is where it a starts. Sometimes though, you want to take your sound in a new direction with something just a itte different. THR amp heads feature a singe-channe design with five distinct custom amp types from soid state through to modified high-gain, a tuned to sound amazing whether you want to get your drive from a peda or your amp. The choice of power tubes in any amp can make a vita difference. From the warm, soft, rich harmonics of a 6V6 to the pronounced midrange and tight ow-end of an EL34, changing your tubes changes your amp. However, this can be difficut; seecting the right tubes, swapping them out and re-biasing your amp takes a ot of time and money, and it s easy to get wrong if you re not entirey sure of what you re doing. THR amp heads feature new VCM simuation that aows you to pick from five cassic tube types for any amp mode with nothing more than the fick of a switch on the rear pane. You can even choose from the smooth compression, soft touch and od-schoo distortion of cass A, or the tight bass response, greater headroom and increased dynamics of cass A/B for each tube type. 4

4 THR100H Dua/ THR100H Features Doube troube Kick it into high gear High resoution connectivity Just stomp on it Two heads aren t aways better than one. But two amps are. THR100H Dua is a true dua-amp version of THR100H with two identica channes of natura drive and incredibe dynamics. Totay independent contros, fuy discrete signa paths with dua seectabe inputs, and A/B/A+B switching give you access to the big dua-amp sounds that guitar tone icons have known about for years. Now it s your turn. THR amp heads come equipped with an assignabe booster that can be engaged direct from the amp or via a dedicated footswitch. With three incredibe sounding VCM boosters from a cean soo boost to a smooth overdrive, a seectabe via the utiity software, the THR s boost function is ready to push your tone to the next eve. THR amp heads are equipped with XLR ine outputs for connection to professiona recording or ive sound equipment. The speaker outputs don t even need a dummy oad, so you can disconnect your speakers for sient recording or on-stage performance without having to worry about damage to your amp. An incuded dedicated footswitch is avaiabe for each mode, giving you the contro you need at home, in the studio or on-stage. With access to boost, reverb and FX-oop functions, pus A/B/A+B switching for THR100H Dua, everything s right where you need it. Industry-standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors even aow you to repace and extend the cabe easiy and cost-effectivey. Great tone, on an impuse Cassic contro Any amp ony sounds as good as the ast ink in the signa chain and in a great sounding rig, that s usuay a cabinet and microphone. THR amp heads use impuse response speaker simuation to drive a DI tone that s indistinguishabe from a perfecty mic d cabinet. With simuations of a range of industry-standard cabinets and mics avaiabe via a USB connection with your PC, THR amp heads give you a host of options straight out of the box. But it doesn t stop there you can use any IR fie avaiabe onine, taking advantage of a huge community of tone-hounds creating custom impuses for downoad, or even use third party software to create your own. The difference in tone can range from subte to significant, and the possibiities are endess. The contros on THR amp heads go back to basics for quick, easy manipuation of your sound. An instanty famiiar contro ayout aong with intuitive response and interaction thanks to VCM s component modeing, means that diaing in your sound is exacty ike you expect it to be. No menus, no options, no hidden functions. Just pug in and pay. Lightweight design heavyweight tone Beying their awesome tone, stage-ready voume and the paying experience of an amp fu of gass tubes and transformers, THR amp heads tip the scaes at under five kiograms. We guarantee you ve never come across an amp as ightweight and compact that sounds ike such a heavyweight. 5 The finishing touch THR amp heads come equipped with USB functionaity that ets you connect to your computer for quick and easy configuration of the on-board reverb and booster effects, switching between seria and parae effects setups, and upoading of IR data fies. 6

14 Think of THR kind of ike a hand-wired amp from a tiny boutique amp maker. It s just not hand-wired. Or from a tiny boutique amp maker. You see, instead of spending their days with a sodering iron and a box fu of components, our amp deveopers have a sighty different tookit VCM. VCM, or Virtua Circuitry Modeing, is a proprietary physica modeing technoogy deveoped by K s Lab, one of Yamaha s most progressive engineering groups. K s Lab s goa with VCM was to push digita signa processing beyond the reams of simuating superficia sound characteristics and into the muddy waters where anaogue equipment reigns supreme musicaity. Using the techniques deveoped to make the word s first commerciay avaiabe physica modeing synthesizer, the VL-1, VCM uses powerfu Digita Signa Processing (DSP) technoogy to create virtua circuits that precisey repicate the behavior of anaog circuits and their effects on the signas passing through them incuding even the most mythica of a anaog components, the vacuum tube. Most digita signa processors, amps and effects start with the tone - using their DSP power to modify the output of their audio circuit in an attempt to make it sound a certain way. Whie this can create a passabe static version of the desired sound, this method misses the things that define the best anaog signa processors the perfect combination of response, dynamics and tone that give anaog circuits a three-dimensiona fee and, more often than not, a sweet-spot where it just a comes together. The theory of VCM is that by using DSP to create a virtua circuit path for the audio to pass through, not ony wi the tone be right but the VCM circuit wi aso recreate those intangibe eements of re- VCM Technoogy Why THR is different: Our sound doesn t start with the tone sponse and dynamics that combine with tone to create the hoy grai of signa processing true musicaity. By refining the compex physica modeing agorithms that aowed the VL-1 to generate natura tones, VCM is abe to mode the precise behavior of each eement in a circuit and therefore the exact changes that circuit makes to a signa passing through it. VCM is even powerfu enough to mode the tona and dynamic changes that resut from the way a power amp interacts with a particuar speaker cabinet. And this isn t just a marketing-department invention - Googe damping factor and you start to see why the power of VCM heps make THR fee ike a big, cranked amp. Without taking it into account, an amp just won t fee right But as with most things, it s not a case of good or bad just different. And that s where the rea power of VCM comes in. Whie physica modeing techniques are an impressive technica too that can be used ike a carbon-copy machine for circuits, we think of it more ike a virtua sodering iron in our engineer s hands. Thanks to the incredibe power and accuracy of the VCM agorithms that power THR, individua virtua components can be changed or tweaked for each amp mode based on what sounds, fees and works better - effectivey creating modified circuits that combine eements from different amps to make new, unique amp modes that are far more than bind, souess simuations of other peope s designs. If you want to know what that reay means to you, as a payer, try diming the master contro on one of THR s ow-power amp modes. Sure, it has amazing tone but it s the fee that you notice. The tone s reay nothing more than a bi-product. Just ike any great amp.
