That surprises me, I have two decent speaker docks and a pure dab radio with aux in and the Yamaha trounces them all for playback from my iPhone. Have you tried the expanded stereo setting? It seems to make quite a difference (hold the tuner button for 5 secs until # appears on the display). If...

I'm sure I would probably still play bass better with a pick but I just don't get on with the sound. I love my bass to have that woody thump that I just can't seem to get with a pick. I keep thinking I need to learn how to play guitar with a pick but I feel a bit better about it now I know I'm...

Great buy! I've just finished writing a thorough review of my THR10 here: http://tidywords.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/yamaha-thr10-amplifier-review/ Its an amazing amp, I get excited everytime I turn it on. The tones are just fantastic and the sound is huge. I'm not sure I've ever bought...

Congratulations! You can't beat a nice burst tele and I've heard nothing but good things about SX.

My wife got me one too when I first got my guitar last year, it really is a great piece of kit for the price. I have some health problems and often can't sleep so it's fantastic just being able to grab it and play in the small hours without waking everybody else and it really does have a very...

I'm learning guitar after playing bass for years and it's making want to learn bass properly from scratch again. I only ever learned patterns without theory and have picked up so many bad habits! My main tip is to learn the simple stuff and don't move on until you've got it nailed. Its easy to...

Lead lines are a nightmare with a finger though! I can't place...

I review the THR10 on my blog here: http://tidywords.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/yamaha-thr10-amplifier-review/ I absolutely love it, it is leagues ahead of any other practice amp I've used and really puts the likes of the Line 6 pod in the shade. The amp models are superb but it also fulfills so...

I've tried several small amps, for me the Yamaha THR10 is the best I've ever tried, it sounds amazing and is really versatile. I won't go on too much as there are specific threads about it but I really don't think it can be beaten. I have quite a lengthy review of it on my blog if you're...

Yamaha THR10 review Hi folks, I found this forum while looking for some pickup advice and saw this thread and thought I'd share my experience with the THR. I've done a full review of the THR10 on my blog here: http://tidywords.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/yamaha-thr10-amplifier-review/ In short, I...
