Late to the game here, but I was very unhappy with my THR10 sounds, and was considering buying a Boss Katana. You saved me a LOT of trouble with this, man! Thank you!
I just tried this and I am blown away - this makes it sound EVEN BETTER than it did before! This amp is incredible, the best I've ever used. You can craft any tone you please out of the THR10 - clean, crunch, heavy distortion, fuzz... The editor gives access to a nice plate reverb with up to 20s of reverb time. It's incredible this it's as affordable as it is.
I really like that delay filter trick! I've had a lot of time on my hands this year, and lately I've been going back to the THR10, and for the first time since I bought it (2011, I think?), I've spent time experimenting in the editor. Three ideas I've been very pleased with: 1) dialling in massive ambient reverb with the Hall set to almost max, adding a long 124ms delay to that, and then combining it with a very narrow bandpass delay for a tape-like echo at around 620ms, and very low volume. 2) getting some drip out of the otherwise "meh" spring reverb by eq'ing a faster-than-slap-back echo to sound like drip (I have a real spring reverb to compare it with) 3) setting the phaser rate to zero and then dialing in a darker or just different sound with the other controls. A bit glitchy though; sometimes it will still slowly sweep. I also think the compressor sounds really good! If the THR just had an fx loop and switching, I wouldn't ever need another amp. Although I guess the aux in sort of is an fx loop. Just for the record: I do think the stock sounds are pretty amazing already, especially if on my Yamaha PacificaI I roll down the volume two notches and the tone pot three to four notches
I know it's been many years, and you probably have moved on to newer things, but here are my phaser settings: Speed: 0.0 Manual: 7.0 Depth 0.4 Feedback 0.6 . I only have a Yamaha Pacifica 112 LH to test this on, but hopefully it's a good amp modification so it doesn't matter what guitar you're on. I've tried the delay eq trick but decided I like this more
man you are a genious! i thought you were applying those filters on a secuencer like cubase. but no, you were applying those directly from the delay! thats a huge mind! thanks for the tip! huge sound!
You man are a genious. I've tried and I can no more hear this amp without this trick, you're a f*****g genious thank you very much! ADDED five hours later (spent playing with new settings): I've the THR10X and it works like a charm, perfect tone for AC/DC; Zakk, Eddie, it gives me the "fat tone" that the amp doesn't has with "standard" settings. Thank you again sir.
John Dale: This is CRAZY good stuff! I have the THR10C, and I applied your delay technique to the Tape Echo effect, and got the same results--the amp sound is thicker, fuller, and way more bluesy, especially on the Vox (Brit Blues) and Blues Jr. (US Blues) amps! Thanks! Good luck on the tour!
Just wondering, why is the Feedback parameter turned up on some, while it is at zero for other sounds in this demo? Is the feedback needed to make the sound you are aiming for?
Can I disable the cabinet with the Yamaha THR series? I say that 'cause for example: I have a tube and a JFET preamp (and I can run the preamp in the "FLAT" mode; right?) and I want to use it with the laptop for trying some IR's and poweramp simulations to play through the speakers or even sometimes to "panning ideas" for recordings, this will be interesting for me... panning the tube preamp playing directly through the speakers and power wattage for fun and via USB recoring one side with the digitals emulations of yamaha in otherside and get unique big sounds, or even trying the filters with my preamp. I think I can combine many possibilities with this unit. Thanks
Many thanks - I was on the right track re the double track delay part. Didn't think of chorus or the other effects though - good work:) Interestingly though as all the effects/delay are post-amp (apart from compressor), what settings were you using on your previous video to get what sounded like a bit more "crunch" when kicked in (if it isn't Dumble Door as in this vid!)?
John - thanks for the quick reply... I didn't see it in there. I got your "THR10 John Dale" library from the patch site. Also, you just teased us with clicking on YJM's patch, or else I would have copied the settings... You hovered over YJM at the 2:30 mark and then switch Eddy VanHagar at the last second :-)
I am sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I am trying to figure out how to easily change tones and amp styles with some sort of app setup with the Yamaha THR10. I love the spark for ease of use, but the hardware and sound of the Yamaha wants me to figure this out and return the Spark. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to learn how to do this well on the Yamaha? I primarily use a mac and an iPad if that matters. Thanks everyone!
Thanks for this video. It improved the sound of my THR 10 enormously. BUT these settings in the software are ONLY saved in the computer, NOT in the amp itself. That means that you can get and store in the software a great sound adjusting Low cut, High cut, etc, but these settings are NOT stored in the amp itself (and you cannot adjust all these with the buttons on the amp directly), and when you disconnect the amp from the computer you are left only with the factory presets again which are, except maybe for the clean sound, not satisfying enough. I am using it only for recording. If you want an amp that you can take anywhere and play without having your laptop next to it.......there are better and cheaper ones, like the marshall code series, or Katana, or Mustang series, etc. Honestly, I am using it for recording thanks to your video. The software connects also directly with a music program like from Magix Musik Maker or Cubase for good recordings.
Thanks John, yes you're right, they can be stored by holding down one of the corresponding buttons for like 3 sec. Then it can be used for live performances, either with a microphone or through the headphone output directly into a mixer. Too bad that it does not have a foot pedal to change channels (one would expect that at this price though). Thanks again.
Yes, I tried it, but I have an iPhone and that runs on IOS, the download seems to be only for Android phones. Thank's anyway! Also, there are plenty of sounds already in the library of the Yamaha software, that also can be adapted and changed to personal preferences.

THR V2 is awesome...great vids 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi! I also own a THR10C, how did you do this in the THRC dashboard? The tape echo doesn't have the Low and Hi cut Filters to tweak with.
@@mpsr87 Also wondering this
Yes.... it is official. This mod ROCKS!!!!!! Thank you so much John!

soundxplorer , yes, it's required. thickens the sound a little.
Hi John. Great vid. Do you have that sample bank available for download? Cheers mate.

dimauro antonini Yes, but only through the Appsforamps THR editor (Android only).
Ok. Now I get I. Nice trick.
Many thanks - I was on the right track re the double track delay part. Didn't think of chorus or the other effects though - good work:)
Interestingly though as all the effects/delay are post-amp (apart from compressor), what settings were you using on your previous video to get what sounded like a bit more "crunch" when kicked in (if it isn't Dumble Door as in this vid!)?
the guitar's volume control 😃
Great I now apply your trick on all my thr10x and it became a monster !!
It there only problem to put a delay pedal in front of the thr ?
ricoxufr that's usually an issue. if you are using an analogue delay it is quite possible, but it's usually best to run delay after the THR.
JohnDaleLive , thx .
Running a delay after the thr you mean in mixer ?
Can a foot switches be implemented in some way to change the gain step switch. ?
Would love to get the patches at 1:05 into your vid.... specifically the YJM Neo. You plan on dumping any more onto the THR10 patch site
Josh, I think that one is in there. if not, just copy the settings you see. There is no additional processing, its just the THR DI.
John - thanks for the quick reply... I didn't see it in there. I got your "THR10 John Dale" library from the patch site. Also, you just teased us with clicking on YJM's patch, or else I would have copied the settings... You hovered over YJM at the 2:30 mark and then switch Eddy VanHagar at the last second :-)
It would be fantastic if you could upload the library in this vid somewhere.
Andy, they were just made up on the spot I think. Not sure if I saved them. I’ll check.
Hi John. May i know how to transfer sample presets to my thr 10x? Thank u
Muhammad, these presets are for the THR-10 and are not compatible with the X or C.
I am sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I am trying to figure out how to easily change tones and amp styles with some sort of app setup with the Yamaha THR10. I love the spark for ease of use, but the hardware and sound of the Yamaha wants me to figure this out and return the Spark. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to learn how to do this well on the Yamaha? I primarily use a mac and an iPad if that matters. Thanks everyone!
Appsforamps THR Editor is for Android only, I’m afraid. I’m also a Mac guy, but keep an old Tablet and Android mobile handy for the THR.
Hi John. Awesome sounds. Are these presets uploaded on the Yamaha preset page?
Hi Chris, no, these are custom patches, not presets.😀
I had the txr 10x download it on my computer and I don't know how to do it again I lost it somehow how do I get this
Yamaha website?
I know it's been 4 years, but is there a link to these YDLs?
Just got my THR10 but can't seem to download the software the site mentioned in the manual leads to nowhere.
John DALE: _WHEN_ will you post more of your awesome settings using the THR10???......
Theee Chosen One - as soon as I get time. Bit busy touring etc😀.
Liked. Subscribed. What more to say.
In your video you change patch banks too.
I could only find John Dale Preset Upgrade. Not the one with the fuzz patches or the Jet AC30.
Chris Siomou ok, I'll try to find them when I get to my computer.
Cheers mate.
@@PewPewDevices Please, don't forget. I have no ear to get sounds as intresting as you did. Please, share your presets! I beg you, man!
I have the thr10x and it makes my katana 50 sound like a toy
sadly my thr10c has no filters on the echo/delay section , but just turning the level up to 10 and no echo makes an improvement :)
Bill Rand the same improvement as by this one?
similer,,,got level at 7ish and feedback abot 3,,pity because i like delay,, though saying that the delay on the 10c is too dark for me
Bill Rand yeah i like delay also, butt with these kind of improvements i can miss it. So thr10c it will be thanx for the info.
Can you upload them on the Thr site please?
Chris Siomou which site for you mean?
Chris Siomou I've already uploaded them to guitarpatches. forgot😂

Ibiza Rose Hi, just store them in any of the 5 patch locations on the amp (hold one of the patch buttons down for a few seconds).
Thanks John, yes you're right, they can be stored by holding down one of the corresponding buttons for like 3 sec. Then it can be used for live performances, either with a microphone or through the headphone output directly into a mixer. Too bad that it does not have a foot pedal to change channels (one would expect that at this price though). Thanks again.
Ibiza Rose Try the ApsforAmps THR editor for Android, you can run a footswitch to your mobile via bluetooth to switch patches.

movavi really cockblocked the hell out of this video.
muff is great tho
