The Yamaha THR desktop amp has several amp models — Clean, Crunch, Lead and Hi-Gain. Pick the model for your genre, then set Gain, Master and the EQ.
Pick the amp model. The model is the core sound: <b>Clean</b> for sparkle, <b>Crunch</b> for blues and classic rock, <b>Lead</b> for hard rock, <b>Hi-Gain</b> for metal.
Clean. Clean model. Gain low (2–3), Bass 5, Middle 5, Treble 6, add a little reverb or chorus. Great on a desk.
Blues / classic rock. Crunch model. Gain 4–5, mids present, light reverb. Cleans up with your volume knob.
Rock. Lead model. Gain 5–6, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, a touch of delay.
Metal. Hi-Gain model. Gain 7–8, Bass 6, Middle 4–5, Treble 6. Keep the gain controlled — it is a small amp, so tightness matters.
Use the THR Remote app. The free THR Remote app lets you tweak everything, save presets and store deeper effects — a fast way to dial and save your tones.
💡 Pick the amp model for your genre (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Hi-Gain), then set gain and EQ. On a small desktop amp keep the gain controlled and lean on the mids.
