I can run a clean tone and a dry tone at the same time? Aren't they the same thing?
10:50 if Borat have cousin from Kazakhstan who make glorious the playing of electric guitar
Great demo, and great playing unlike most other 'demos'.
Can loaded presets & patches be selected with a foot switch?
Hmmm… Might be a cool ric-o-sound set-up
Sorry don't like it.. like the playing but just don't like the sound..
11 minutes of talking in a 20 minute video. Pass.
Yamaha THR100H vs Boss Katana 100 head: Which one is the best?
Tom is a great player but this is one the worst demos of this amp I've heard.
The HD works great for recording two guitarists DI. I’m using it record my son’s band. He goes in one channel and the other guitarist goes into the other. We’re getting great tones. They put their effects chains in front of the HD.
Seem like if you go head it's better
Got a fender gt200w and it don't sound that great so I'm looking for something more with more gain. I'm in to rock. It has ok clean but I think the finder gt sucks for crhutch
Seems to be a cool amp
do you think this head is loud enough for a loud band? not really metal but more of a sludge rock band?
Hey, just got a thr100hd, and as for the cooling fan, it seems to be stopped all the time, is that normal? Thank's!
Does anyone know how the "blended" mode would work if you're plugged into an 8ohm MONO cab? Is that feature only for stereo cabs?
I want to hear how this sounds with preamp style pedals like the Bogner Red Ecstacy, Friedman BE-100 pedal, etc. This seems like it would be perfect for me. I want a single stereo head with stereo XLR out and true stereo. I am curious about the virtual power output tubes. I could run my stereo fx through the fx loop. I have a setup already like this with my dual Orange Micro Terrors and ADA Microcab II.
Sounds terrible and ugly to me. Great player, but terrible amp. Fuzzy, thin, farty, AND brittle. It's hard to get something that wrong, ya gotta hand it to them…
Yamaha (Roland as well, funny enough) is like that. It's a home run or a total strike out.
I can tell the guy is struggling to make it sound like something. It basically one sound with Mayo smeared all over. The effects are great, I have to say that.
WAY too expensive as well. I could buy a used Bogner, Boogie, or Dr.Z for that money.
Great review. I love the THR100HD.
Amazing playing great sound
This video sounds awfully harsh or something, not sure if its the guitar/mic setup but something is off. Not pleasing to me.
Guitar Interactive really know how to do a product demo. Some people who demo their company's product do a disservice to them because ,they only focus on certain functions of their product instead of giving a full product demonstration. Gi receives an "A" in this area because they focus on the entire product and its capablities and demo them accordingly.
Thanks Tom….That was a hell of a lot to get into…20 mins…..Great Demo……Expertly Done….!
good clean sound, but not good drive sound
I'm surprised nobody mentions that this is somewhat a novel re-marketing , repackaging and rebranding of Line6 innovation of yesterday! And it's not a surprise since they took over Line 6!
What they actually did here is to extract the amp-sim module out of the POD (the dual amp setup is already present in the older PODs i.e. X3… I still have them to this day!) and repackage it into a head size metal box! Whether they actually make it better is another whole issue altogether. I have not played the THRs and I can't comment. So instead of using the whole POD system as a desktop or floor unit, what they are doing is separating out the simulation modules and selling them seperately. I suspect it's old Line 6 technology their using and not bringing anything new to the table!
Sheesh!
