The Original Desktop Amp
THR-II series amps offer more sounds, more power and more wireless features than ever before. Wireless connectivity makes THR-II amps perfect for at-home practicing,Guitarists are familiar with the tube amp stacks that sound amazing when turned up loud on a big stage, and with combo amps that are a perfect fit for smaller venues and rehearsal. THR ignored the convention that a practice amp should simply be a smaller version of a larger amp, creating a new "third amp" category designed around what players need when playing at home.
Fully-Wireless Experience
All THR-II models feature Bluetooth connectivity for audio playback, the "THR Remote" mobile editor app, and third-party footswitch support.
THR10II Wireless and THR30II Wireless also feature a built-in rechargeable battery and Line 6 wireless receiver. Just grab your THR, your guitar and a Line 6 Relay G10T transmitter (sold separately), and play anywhere your music takes you.
THR Remote
The THR Remote editor lets THR-II players sculpt their guitar tones wirelessly, with additional parameters for sculpting your unique sound. THR-II amplifiers have simple one-knob controls for the modulation, echo, and reverb effects. With THR Remote, players can access multiple parameters per effect for fine tuning, and access a compressor and noise gate. With THR Remote, you can easily assign a compatible third-party Bluetooth footswitch (sold separately) for control that is both hands-free and cable-free. Change the EQ for music playback, adjust the line out and USB out levels, check the battery charge level, and more.

Q & A
Reviews
If you don’t require a larger amp for concert performance, Yamaha’s latest desktop may be all you need. But even if you wanted to use it on stage, simply connect the THR30II Wireless to a house system or another amp using the 1/4 inch stereo outs on the back of the unit.
As a longtime pro guitar player I admit I’m getting tired of heavy amps and a suitcase of cords and pedals. Perhaps that’s just one of the reasons I find the 30 watt desktop THR30II Wireless so refreshing. Yamaha has produced a powerful desktop system with a realistic tube tone that sounds so good, it makes me want to play longer, and even at my age, that continues to make me a better player.
There are 8 variations.. clean, crunch, lead, hi gain, special, bass, acoustic and flat. Each with 3 variations.. modern, boutique and classic. The acoustic and flat settings are perfect for acoustics and the bass, middle and treble controls actually work, providing excellent EQ control.
Whether playing or recording at home, in a studio, or busking on the corner, the THR30II Wireless is incredible. With the built in rechargeable battery you’ll be able to play for 4-5 hours.
The craftsmanship is impressive. Built like a tank and impeccably manufactured. Even the headphone amp, where most manufacturers tend to cheap out, is one of the best I’ve heard. It’s as good as the THR30’s custom twin speakers.
The THR30II has an aux-in as well. Though with Bluetooth providing the capability of playing along with music from your smart device, you may never use the aux-in function. Of course the THR30II Wireless Desktop Amp can also be used as an everyday Bluetooth speaker.
Yamaha has been making a version of this desktop amp for well over a decade, but only now with wireless and Bluetooth (and slightly larger speakers on the THR30II), has it really come of age. I’m glad I waited too, as the stunning new black model wasn’t available until recently.
Then there’s that warm tube-like orange glow behind the amp grill. Nice! (Especially noticeable on the black model.)
The built in effects include all the pro processing Yamaha is known for, and if you connect your smart device and use the free downloadable Yamaha THR Remote app, you’ll have a dozen additional settings like multiple cabs, reverbs, delays, a noise gate and adjustable compression. All THR30II settings, including a separate Bluetooth audio channel, are controllable via the THR Remote app.
But you ask, how does it sound?
To me, the true test of any amp is how it sounds at lower to mid volume. With stage amps you need to drive the wattage to obtain the sound you may be looking for. With the THR30II, Yamaha’s engineers and sound techs obviously spent major time coming up with a way to deliver that warm tube sound at living room level. It’s one of the THR30II’s top features.
Dial in a setting and save it to one of 5 available presets. ( I saved 4 for electric and 1 for acoustic.) Plug in a Line 6 Relay G10 and play wirelessly from 50’ away. The guitar jack automatically charges the Relay G10 when plugged in. Or use any $50 set of wireless TX and RX plugs.
Of all the equipment I’ve purchased over the last 30 years, the THR30II Wireless desktop amp (Black) is one of the most amazing pieces of gear I’ve owned. It’s built like a Rolls Royce, is stunning in appearance, is 100% portable, and the quality of sound it produces defies its diminutive size. There is also a Tap Tempo feature and built in tuner.
I can’t stop playing my guitar through it, finding the sound it produces extremely addictive.
So there you have it. Now go and get one.
Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
