Yamaha THR 100 Head

I find this interesting. I've been fascinated by the fact that since I first set eyes on a solid state amp back in about 1977 (my friends H&H head, very disappointing) they still haven't managed compete with valve (or tube) amps.

I do have a Yamaha THR 10 which is a great little practice amp and actually can still hold it's own when jamming with other people (depending, of course on what they are using)it's limiting factor being the tiny 3" speakers.

 

It seems Yamaha have now decided to do a 100 watt model. Are the days of tube amps finally numbered?

Hello!

 

It sounds really good. It's obviously, needs much less care (if none) than a real tube-amp.

 

But, - alone without a cabinet -, it costs as much as a good all-tube combo.

 

Bence.

after looking at a few demos, this is quite an impressive head.

 

I have a few fender mustangs which are quite impressive in their own right.

upon further review.......

 

from Sweetwater...

 

the head $799

and the 2x12 cab $499

the 1x12 cab $299

so,, the head and a 2x12 cab,, you're dancing around $1,300 + (w/tax etc.)
