I'm surprised some people think the design is boring

YouTube— neutral

Even though I'm not a huge fan of this particular product, I can see the potential

It's kinda not a decent sound for metal.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

I did not buy this product though, due to: No looper, using DC15 for battery vs USB-C connection, the inspiring switch to turn on and off is now gone.

YouTube▲ recommend

it blew me away. Such a great metal sound. It really chugs.

YouTube— neutral

I actually was very disappointed with how it sounds playing music through it for this reason. Love how it sounds as an amp though.

YouTube— neutral

I love it. The price however, is a deal breaker.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

there's some kind of buzzing/rattling sound that seems as though something in the cabinet is a bit loose and resonating

YouTube▲ recommend

It's a really tight simulation with a boost in the front that can take even 7 or 8 strings with no problem!

YouTube▲ recommend

Best bedroom amp of all time.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

why have they replaced the power switch with power button? it ruins boutique look

YouTube— neutral

Has all the features I wished the original one had! Only problem is that it ruins the main feature of the original, the price

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

Everyone skip on the bass mod why whhhhyyyyyyy

YouTube— neutral

It's neat, but still not enough of an upgrade to replace my THR10c and THR10x

YouTube▲ recommend

I love my THR10ii.

YouTube▲ recommend

for a true bedroom amp it’s hard to beat

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

you'll have the same bluetooth drop out issues with the Spark as well. Both suffer the intermittent bluetooth connection issues.

YouTube— neutral

THR would be so nice, if it had FX Loop.

YouTube— neutral

I cannot for the life of me get it connected to my pc or Samsung phone haha. Guess its just a Yamaha problem. Besides that I love playing on it.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

Still no effects loop? What a mistake! I will look for something else.

YouTube▲ recommend

That thing sounds pretty damn good!

YouTube— neutral

I have major issues with the Bluetooth control connection. It disconnects from my iphone or iPad, shortly after connecting.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

The problem with these amps is you can't choose the amps on offer.

YouTube▲ recommend

When it comes to getting a good amp tone quickly, nothing beats the THR for me.
