Overview

Yamaha continues to successfully challenge conventional amp design with the success of their THR desktop amps.

The THR30II in particular is a 30-Watt solid state amp with two 3.5" speakers designed for use in desktop setups, which is extremely popular especially among musicians who do home recording.

Instead of having to reach down to tweak a conventional amp while working on a computer, this simple change in profile allows the THR30II to sit on a desk where it can be easily reached, and more importantly better heard.

This amp is also meant to be a sort of all-in-one convenient rig, so it comes packed with 15 guitar amp models, 3 bass amp models, 3 amp models, and there's even a flat mode.

It also comes with built-in reverb and delay effects.

Other features that make it suitable for modern day desktop recording setups include built-in Bluetooth support and USB connectivity.

It also runs on rechargeable battery for convenient portable use.

If you have a home studio and you're looking for a compact yet versatile guitar amp, then check out the Yamaha THR30II Wireless.
