Yamaha THR5A

YAHAMA THR5 is amazing

I was thinking to buy THR10 or THR30, but THR5 was good enough for me.

High quality, small for carrying everywhere and can use batteries

brilliant little amp

great practice amp for accoustic guitar

and surprisingly loud for a little amp

great retro design

Such a great AMP

Really good sound. If you are looking for a small amp (acoustic) for study only. You cannot go wrong with this one!

Excellent compact amp

Excellent compact amp for training and performance in small groups. Great sound, very nice design, solidly built. Works well also with electric guitar. I am happy!

Great for playing & recording e-violine

I bought this for my electric violin. For the price it is amazing (and beautiful) thing. I just have a feeling that as it is designed mostly for guitars, the effects are not that much useful for violin (I'd appreciate a choice of more different suitable sounds). What is amazing is the feature of recording/playback with USB, which works also with Handys, just unfortunately not the newer Samsungs (which I have...) Also the headphones output is quite weak, would like to have it louder.

Great sound, great effects. Fantastic build quality.

Fantastic little acoustic amp

A lot of features that is not available in bigger amps. It feels like it's designed to add SRT features to simple pickups. I use it with the following gear:

1984 Yamaha FG-200D

LR Baggs I-Beam

LR Baggs Active endpin preamp

Donner DWS3 wireless T/R

LR Baggs Gigpro

If you make a blind test, nobody can believe that it's a guitar bought for 250 USD in 1984.

Brilliant little home amp and recording tool

Amp sounds great, period. If you have a dull sounding rehearsal room, living room or bedroom, this will save your electro-acoustic day. Great mic models, great reverbs, very acceptable chorus and compressor effects.

As a recording tool this works great as a first step, laying down acoustic tracks. Be careful with latency though.

Two drawbacks:

- USB computer volume (while recording) can only be set via the PC interface software.

- there are no presets. When you use this amp with multiple guitars, you might want those...

I have a THR10C too, which does have presets and a USB volume control.

Classy looking amp with refined sound quality

I am playing on a Fender semielectric neylon guitar and there is no feedback at all.

The amp looks great especially with the orange light and the beige color.

The sound quality is very clean. The effects (Reverb, Chorus and delay) are impressive.

The control app for the PC works fine but can be improved.

All in all, great budget acoustic amp and it works with batteries so if you buy wireless Receiver/Transmitter, you will be completely portable and ready to go.
