Yamaha THR10C and THR10X Combo Amps

It wasn&all that long ago—2012 to be exact—that Yamaha surprised us all with the THR10, which I called "one of the most impressive recording and practice amps I&ever played." Like The Matrix, Yamaha has released its part two and three sequels in close succession, but unlike The Matrix, the company&two new THR10C and THR10X amps are just as good, if not better, than their predecessor. Whereas the THR10 was designed to provide sort of a "one-size-fits-all" assortment of tones, the THR10C and THR10X offer amp and effect models targeted for more specific playing styles. The THR10C delivers classic amp tones that a re ideal for blues, country and classic rock, while the THR10X focuses on the high-gain territory that metal and hard rock players prefer. Like the original THR10, both are compact, portable and versatile amps packed with features like preset storage, USB connectivity, AC- or battery-powered operation, "extended stereo" output, detailed editing via THR Editor software and much more.
