Yamaha: THR next gen


Yamaha recently unveiled their new generation of THR desktop amps (THR II). A large fanfare feature here is the inclusion of wireless access. I've seen the features online & watched some promo clips & feel that it's basically a re-hashed version of the previous camp. Not trying to dis Yamaha but the wireless dongle idea had been done by Blackstar but in terms of a full functioning amp offering in a desktop format with very little compromise in terms of tone, the THR series is a very good reference. In my books, it's more nimble than its nearest rival, the BOSS Katana amps (the desktop ones, not the full fledge combo).
