Yamaha THR10X

# What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor, ...)?
Transistor modeling. Here technology is the VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling). Basically, the creed of Yamaha (in fact, it is K's Lab who developed this technology) is to model the complete circuit of the amp, each element. I'm fucking unable to understand how it can work, but it sells dreams, especially when it works at this point.

# What is the power delivered?
10 W (2 x 5 W)

# What connection?
An instrument input.
An auxiliary input.
USB output.

# What are the settings, the effects?
Amp type.
A gain control
Potentiometer master
3-band EQ
A potentiometer for modulation effects (chorus / flanger / phaser / tremolo)
A potentiometer for spacialisations effects (delay / reverb)
A potentiometer to the output level
A potentiometer to the level of the guitar (sort of master of master)
5 user presets
Tuner (very reactive and mutes) and a tap delay.
Can connect an auxiliary source and adjust the level: the dream I tell you.

Level supply: batteries (not tested) or owner (with transformer block shit but good Tampax) diet.

Look level: ca fart well as: green military surplus style design it well. Hyper small, with small handle (not removable though), can be lugging around. It even fits on the arm of my chair! It's great.

UTILIZATION

# The configuration is it simple?
Yes, extremely.
Guitar you plug the amp model is selected and shoo. Sounds Live: 3 am to do not bray neighbors, or 3 hours in the afternoon to motivate them to enjoy the weather outside.

# Gets it easy to sound good?
Yes. With bass, midrange and treble at noon each type of amp sound nickel without further adjustments. In refining, it is ecstasy!

# The manual is clear and sufficient?
Simple and concise: a dozen page. Ideal for a quick start but not necessary so the THR10X is simple to use.

SOUNDS

# Will it fit your style of music?
Yes, I play metal / prog rock limitless styles and THR10X suitable for all trash, death, prog fedora. Even for cleans, ca does.

# With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
LTD MH400 for guitar
SR300 Ibanez bass.

# What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold", ....)?
Each modeling amp sounds heavenly and perfectly meets the attack and the game you have. The equalization is responsive as it should.
And above all: it sounds at any volume. A low volume, the sound is incredibly credible and not cramped (yes, it's magic) and high volume, ca dislocated everything I heard on modeling. Exit saturated "honeycomb" or that do not breathe here sounds, sounds
Power I: Marshall crunch
Power II: lead Marshall
Brown I: Crunch Mesa Boogie
Brown II: Lead Mesa Boogie
Southern Hi: 6550
Icing on the hat: There's even a channel for bass and a flat channel to plug everything has a line output (keyboards, rhythm ...).
The effect section is spartan level settings but the sounds are super property. Much better than Spiders Line6 that work the same way (a common potentiometer with a time range by effect).
The delay is very nice, very clean and the reverb is completely a joke.

# What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
All the sounds are great, but I have a preference for the Southern Hi.

OVERALL OPINION

# How long have you use it?
Ten days. I used to work quiet or even make a little peter.

# What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Most:
- The sound volume at any
- Auxiliary input with adjustable level
- The quality of modeling
- The delay / reverb although appreciable
- The tuner included
Least:
- No effects loop (too bad if you work with a looper


# Have you tried many other models before buying it?
To play at home, I had pods with headphone, pods out on a Tech21 PE60, preamps AMT, a torpedo CAB, an EHX .44 in a cab Orange PPC112, a Zoom G3, and it is REALLY the best system out there for my needs.

# How would you rate the quality / price?
€ 350 new, it's a small amount but it was worth every penny. This is THE complete solution to play at home in the best conditions of sounds, opportunities and space.

# With experience, you do again this choice?
Rather than 10X!

UTILIZATION

super simple to use clear manual, you can go from clean to the darker metal easily.
or even make "jazzy" sound ... well ... in my ear and especially thanks to my Vigier ...

SOUNDS

saturated the top are full of dynamics can have a large saturation as a good crunch see even very good clean with 3 amp hi-gain ... I did not even explore the amps clean flat and bass ...
the editor pc (mac) is very effective to refine all the parameters and the possibility to change the automatically assigned to amp speakers ..
It is pedal friendly I put it my Morley bad horsie and my booster Zoom without problem ...
Very little breath without the noise gate engaged (it is set automatically so you have to cut thanks to the editor)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days, I try the cube, the vox before .... no comparison although the Demolition cube ..


_ The least is that there is no footswitch to toggle between five settings memorized.
- No effects loop!


Value price / top ... More ... we just bring it to the beach with batteries ....
