gives controllable, articulate gain for searing lead tones.

Natural Acoustic Tone
THR5A
A new way to experience your electric-acoustic guitar
THR5A is optimized for use with electric-acoustic and Silent Guitars. Utilising advanced modeling technologies
developed by Yamaha, THR5A offers simulations of classic tube condenser and dynamic mics combined with
studio-grade effects to create recording-studio tone direct from your guitar and wherever you are.
Unlock your electric-acoustic tone...
The only time most electric-acoustic guitars get plugged-in is when they're on-stage. But by matching your guitar with
THR5A the expressive tone of a studio-mic'd acoustic together with incredible effects will unlock more creative expression
than ever before for the ultimate practice, writing or recording experience.
THR5A features mic types perfectly tailored for steel-string and nylon-string guitars, together with a natural, clean amp
model for electric guitar.
• CONDENSER: An open, clear full-range response and incredible dynamics - well suited to any playing style
• DYNAMIC: Powerful midrange response and a tight tonal core suit for outstanding tonal focus
• TUBE: Warm and rich with a smooth low-midrange focus
• NYLON: Perfectly voiced for a natural sound from nylon-string electric-acoustic guitars
• EG CLN: The same 'Deluxe' model as THR10C for smooth, clean, clear tube electric tones – or pushing your
electric-acoustic sounds to somewhere new...
The perfect companion to your silent guitar
Yamaha's Silent Guitars feature onboard effects to give natural, dynamic tones when used with headphones – but
partnered with THR5A's studio-grade microphone simulations, Silent Guitar offers an incredible acoustic tone. Simply
choose from Condenser, Dynamic or Tube mics to match with your steel-string Silent Guitar, or Nylon to match with your
nylon-string model, and double your playing pleasure with an all-new Silent Guitar experience.
