Right, off to see Polyphia!
In that three minutes, i'd compare it to a Katana. The basic tones are perfectly usable, nice touch with delay/reverb/modulation.
I'm not really an amp snob as such.. I have a big juicy tube amp (Kustom 36 coupe) which is better... But this could be a lot of fun, and much more useable
More to come!
The android app is still being updated, so some features are still a bit buggy, but it has improved since I first started.
The sound on the amp is really surprising, I honestly wasn't expecting great things from 4" speakers. But apparently 2 x small stereo FRFR speakers can sound good.. I haven't done much tweaking beyond a little play but there are a bazillion tone options with the bias tonecloud connection and they do sound genuinely good even at low volumes.
I've mostly been messing with the backing tracks that are on there or just playing along to songs on YouTube and stuff.
The smart jam is pretty good, it's like the Digitech trio pedal with more of an interface. It analyses what you play then follows it with drums/bass.. the interesting bit is that it structures the song too, so spices it up for choruses, pulls it back for verses etc which is a nice touch.. if course it does have that midi touch in the drum/bass sound..
It can also be used as just a Bluetooth speaker.. so the frozen soundtrack has gone through it multiple times...
All in all I'm pretty happy.
I sold my Line 6 Amplifi TT for this and it is a definite improvement. Soon my Blackstar HT1 will be up on the selling pages.
Aaand it is also a bass amp.. so my little bass amp will also be out the door.
There's a great overview here https://youtu.be/vZ8PB-UUwu8 from Steve Stine who digs into the app. I wonder how the Yamaha app compares. Wouldn't have the spotify integration of course but how flexible are the effect options in the THR II?
Hoping to be proved wrong with a delivery soon...
I'm still very keen to try one once they're easily available.
I emailed and asked nicely and also got one
Has anyone received one of these in the UK yet that can testify to it's final price?
It was $179 + your countries VAT amount. No additional fees/costs. Delivery included etc
