I own both of these. When you pull the back battery cover off the Vox it sounds like a different amp. Much more resonant and added mid-range. The THR depends completely on electronics for tone and resonance. The only advantage THR has is the computer interface capability. Busk with Vox, record with THR.
Hi Rick. I just got the Vox as well. I was disappointed in the overall sound at first. But experimenting I found that if you block of the front "port" on the amp and as you said open the back, I have only opened it a little bit like between a thumb and guitar picks with and found exactly what you are saying. I was totally going to take it back to GC and either get a Roland Cube or other amp. However, this is a game changer by just messing with how the cabinet is set up.
I used to do this and it definitely gave it some better mids. I accidentally put it on top of a stove the other day not realizing it was hot and melt the bottom of the housing, so just for fun I removed the parts and made a nice little vintage style wood cab. I made the back ported and the front speaker opening smaller, it sounds amazing now.
The Vox Sounds more clean and The THR sounds more distorted, for busking I'll go with Vox because is better for my acoustic electric guitar and my uke and it's not too complicated (and also have a microphone plug), for recording and practice I'll go with yamaha, it depends what you need
Just bought a THR5 (in 2020) and it doesn't rattle. Had it a week or so, loving it so far as a desktop practice amp. Thanks for the compare to the Vox too.
Any colorations should be addressable within the computer interface, if not from the dials (bright and mellow are not magical elements, they are descriptors of equalizer settings, filters, cut-offs, etc.). I see the scores of presets available as a great starting point to explore how the controls affect the sound, and then you can tweak further, then store your own unique settings, move them into the five presets on the THR unit, and just play.
Thanks for the comparison! I own several of the Yamaha THR series (THR5, THR5A, and THR10c), and briefly owned the Vox Mini3G2. I have to agree that the Vox has a fuller tone, but the big difference for me is the portability of the Yamaha THR line. Using either the fitted bag available from Yamaha, or simply a large camera bag, widely available, for the THR5, you can easily take these with you on a plane, train, or just walking around. The Vox is heavier and bulkier. I will also say that the Yamaha THR10c is a better comparison to the Vox in terms of tone - it really is a fine small amp. But,then again, it costs almost twice as much...
They both have their merits to be sure. But, after all is said about each amp on tone and features etc, the vox costs half as much as the yammy so for me at least, it's no contest. It's the vox hands down
I have the mini 5 & the THR 10. Mine doesn't rattle at all. Love em both but thr sound is amazing with pinch of reverb. Gives a stereo space quality that is to die for. Love em both though.. Good comparison.
I think I'd give that one to the Vox. Although I can't say how it sounded in the room, through my headphones the Vox has more of a full sound to it. I'd love to see a shoot out between the Vox and the Roland Micro Cube.
+Roy Benson they both sounded good in room, except for the metal rattlebI kept getting on the THR. If I come across a good deal on a Micro Cube, I'll definitely do a comparison. 👍🎸
For sure, they are closer in price, size, features, and function. I've seen a few of the Cubes pop up used for $100, and it's actually what I wanted, but I got a sweet deal on a Vox, so I went with it.
that's interesting because the Yamaha is more expensive here. I would pick the Yamaha if you needed an amp that could also connect to a computer for recording. and I would pick the Vox for busking. tone wise, that's all subjective. 😊
Vox for the cleans. Yamaha for the crunch. IMO. The vox has a much warmer tone on the cleans, whereas the THR sounds tiny and thin. But on the flip side the THR has much better definition in its overdrive, the vox tends to loose its grip on the tones at that point.
I have a VOX Mini G3 and a Yamaha THR10 and I kinda prefer the Yamaha coz it has bigger sound and it doesn't sound boxy. However, the VOX Mini just looks so cute for a room decoration and it can also be double up as a Karaoke speaker which you can just hook up a mic! My family loves it! No experience with the THR5 but the THR10 is gig worthy and I have used it a lot with the band!
Thank you Landon ! I already have the VOX DA5 (the previous model from the Mini3) and was eying the THR10/II since it has the bass setting. But except for the marshally tones, I do prefer the vox all in all (the price difference also plays a part in this). Funnily enough, Brian May posts music tutorials during the lockdown and seemed to have a VOX mini as a practice amp :). Did you try it with pedals ?
Another good review (I'd take the Vox). You're one of the few reviewed I would trust so..... I'm unsure about choosing a good gigging amp (affordable). I have a BlackStar HT40 which is good and I just acquired a Fender Deluxe plus (94watts) 112 which is stupidly loud at home (my soundproofing isn't as good as yours) but not too sure about it. What do you think would make a good working guitarists amp (combo) clean sounds mostly transportable, reliable and sounds good? I'm a bit sceptical about the Katana Amps. Too many effects and pushed too hard by some reviewed puts me off - but I may be wrong. I had BlackStar ID:260 - which are really nice but what do you think? Should I just shut up and keep the HT40? Sorry to ramble...haha
I tend to lean towards Vox sounds. In fact I just bought a Vox AC30CC2 which is the same as the one I had last year. I like the tones, the simplicity and the power when needed - not so keen on the weight! It looks the part too - in my view. I still have the Blackstar HT40 which I will hold onto for a few weeks until I'm sure I've done the right thing - it's a really good, simple and powerful amp too. I tried them side by side today and the Blackstar surprised me how well it compared; slightly different sound but really nice - and its a 1x12 so a bit lighter!! I suspect the Vox will stay though - or maybe I will hold onto them both and sell the Fender which I basically don't use .
I love my thr5 but I do have rattle probs. I don't use it for loud playing anyway. I still regret selling a Vox pathfinder 15 SS. Epic tones from a SS amp
ok it's not just mine then. I did have it up really loud, but that's pretty bad that the metal rattles. That's the hardest I've pushed it, so I hadn't noticed until now. :)
lando27music I don't know how new your thr is but the first batch had a software issue that made it shut off when played loud on battery only. I assume they fixed it by now. Great sound for plugging an iPhone into
Wade Wilson a Vox pathfinder is a different kettle of fish to a THR5 , I know people actually do small gigs with pathfinder 15s you can line out them to the desk and they are very loud for a practice amp. I have recently needed a practice tool where I can hear any mistakes and get a cranked sound at very low volume , and for this the THR5 is absolutely superb, my Marshall 80 watt valvestate even at 0.5 on volume still carried through the house, probably the 2 x 12 speakers. I have just got a Thr5 though and was able to practice at a reasonable volume to hear any effects of improper string damping or other superfluous string noises that may hinder my progress. I must say it can sound thin through my headphones at the moment as they are the cheapest sennheisers available, they were about £11 10 years ago so I may get som audio technical ath m40 or akg 240, but it looks like I won’t even need them as it is very quiet to practice with. I did own a mini 3 for years and used to take it busking to use as a vocal amp above a dreadnaught acoustic , I also once used it at a very low volume acoustic jam night in a pub to play some lead with , but I ended up selling it . I love my new Thr5 to bits though, it is the ultimate practice tool. I mainly use the brit hi (jcm) model , and I find the crunch is good for playing Rolling Stones type stuff . Clean is also nice with a touch of chorus if required but nice on its own. If anyone can recommend some headphones they use with theirs for a good sound I would be grateful. I am looking forward to using it as an audio interface with my Mac too
For me the THR5 was the winner. The Vox was good but a little warmer and not as clear as the THR5. THR5 had better distortion imo too. Good video. I'd like to hear how the Boss Katana compares
Actually I’d like to hear against what you did here. You do a great job in playing the same riff and effects without a lot of talking. The riffs are also practical to really hear the tone. Do any of the mini’s have a line out for a cabinet? Thanks
LOL "More natural sounding," what exactly does "natural" electric guitar, powered up and fed into a system of electronics then after dramatic amplification and signal alterations, is sent thru transformers and into magnetic coils that drive large speaker diaphragms to recreate sound that bears minute resemblance to the faint vibrating string? Tube conceit dictates that different = worse, if it is not a tube amp, different = better, if it is. Just ignore the hundreds of times more control, colorations, and changes the little digital boxes can impart, and which no one on stage could ever distinguish from your tube amp. Of course you still believe turntables are sonically superior, too.

Exactly what I came here to post. The vox is very reasonable, so even if it lacks something that the Yamaha doesn't (which I don't think it does) value for money goes to vox.
The flanger on the G2 sounds crap unless you can adjust it. The reverb on the THR5 seems crap unless you can adjust it. I'm guessing you can't adjust them on both. If I had to choose, it would be the Vox I think. I mean the Yamaha has a bit of a better tone but the effects don't seem good at all apart from the flanger which is miles better than the Vox. I got my mini katana now and that's a great little amp. I might mod it to take the reverb tank off of my park g10r which i upgraded, even if I have to just simply screw it to the back of the katana lol. Or maybe I'll leave the katana is it is as it is a brilliant small battery powered amp and the reverb effect of the delay ain't bad at all to be honest.
I’m a Vox fan, but that mini sounded like it had a blanket over the speaker. I did hear some rattling from the Yamaha, but that’s a problem you can probably fix. I think the THR was the better sounding amp. I’ve got a THR10 on the way.
I bought one of those Vox mini3 g2s in mint condition for $60 two weeks ago on craigslist. I know those Yamadogs, which are awesome, are over $200. If anything, I'd rather see the Vox mini go, which is higher end, be in this comparison.
That vox amplifier seems to beat up some bigger amps, probably worth the money I'm already planning to save money for it, about 1,100 $ where I live, but anyways everything is expensive here
Lando27Music hahahaha Brazil! I'm not sure if it's the abusive taxes or the brand name, but I do know that the Marshall code 25 it's the same price, no mobility tho
OrganicEcstasy...Brazil is far and away from being a socialist country, go ahead and list at least three examples of it?....Yup you can't! Socialist do not borrow money from the IMF because they wouldn't receive it!
I think you're wrong, come on it's about x10 or x12 the initial price, maybe you're talking about another amp or made a conversion mistake, I never hears of 1000% or 1200% taxes..
very interesting comparation, I own both thr5 and thr10x wich are the most inspiring amps in the market for home use to me. I don´t know why yamaha doesn´t release a bigger combo similar to boss katana 50, it would be nice!! On the other hand thr´s models take pedals really well.
I know mate, but they should make also a combo to compete with Boss, As far as i know a lot of people are waiting for a yamaha combo with the thr quality but more powerful. If they put in the market a 50 watt combo or something like that it will be a success!! IMO
I had one and played with thr 2 few times. Both are souless to me, thr2 has better high gain tone than cham 20. Overall, Vox has much more character than both of them, especially on tweed voice.
Yo creo que el Vox tiene mas cuerpo y aveces se torna mas calido y el Yamaha tiene mas brillo por lo cual resalta más su agudeza.. Ahora ya dependería de los gustos de la persona para escoger a uno.. Ambos suenan genial como para ser amplificadorcitos XD..
Pues para salir a tocar el yamaha se ve muy delicado y como que aguanta menos la intemperie y el chiste de estos amplificaforcitos es que lo puedas llevar a donde quieras, igual el yamaha esta bien pinche caro bro
I've got a THR5. I like: pretty cool design, nice amp types, mobile, can change sounds when connected to pc, free Cubase AI software!!! I dislike it for: rattling! The 'Brit hi' and 'Modern' amp types (the metal ones) are really overdrived I think. Much louder than the cleaner amp types and can't go upon 2/3 of volume because the unit is starting to collapse.... so these amp types are not really well balanced I think. And no treble, middle and bass knob on the unit: I miss it so much.
Lando27Music Hi! Yeah that rattling so annoying. Without that this would be a perfect amp. But. I've watched a lot of youtube video and no rattling on those amps. I'm pretty sure something is no good with my unit. I think will go for garantie. Could you solve that rattling problem? For example at 5:00 you are using the amp on a high setting with metal amp type and no rattling at all. My amp would distroy itself with that setting... 😎
I own both of these. When you pull the back battery cover off the Vox it sounds like a different amp. Much more resonant and added mid-range. The THR depends completely on electronics for tone and resonance. The only advantage THR has is the computer interface capability. Busk with Vox, record with THR.

Yes! One thing I love about my Vox. It can definitely fill a room with the back open.

Something could be loose in it? I dunno.
I have the THR10 and VOX Mini 3 G2. I find the THR10 brighter, where the VOX is very mellow. I've had zero metal rattle with the THR.
Any colorations should be addressable within the computer interface, if not from the dials (bright and mellow are not magical elements, they are descriptors of equalizer settings, filters, cut-offs, etc.). I see the scores of presets available as a great starting point to explore how the controls affect the sound, and then you can tweak further, then store your own unique settings, move them into the five presets on the THR unit, and just play.

+greatvanzinni hey thanks! maybe Ive got a bad THR unit. It was only rattling on the higher gain amp models
Hey, which one would you suggest to buy if I want some classic rock sound? mini5 or thr10?and which is more versatile?
either one could do rock for sure 🎸👍
Okay the Yamah is more modern but the Vox has the sweetness...
I think I'd give that one to the Vox. Although I can't say how it sounded in the room, through my headphones the Vox has more of a full sound to it. I'd love to see a shoot out between the Vox and the Roland Micro Cube.

that's interesting because the Yamaha is more expensive here. I would pick the Yamaha if you needed an amp that could also connect to a computer for recording. and I would pick the Vox for busking. tone wise, that's all subjective. 😊
In my country just the opposite: yamaha THR10 costs 325$ , VOX mini 3 g2 costs 180$ and THR5 costs 270$
Ty for answering ! I ended getting the THR5 in a local shop, I thought it the speakers were smaller but in fact they are the same! So happy rn
cool have fun!

I think the bigger cabinet/speaker help give it more low end
lando27music I agree, great comparison thanks again.
im confused but do the amps have built-in effects... reverb, chorus, etc (sorry if that sounds dumb)
they do have built in effects yes. 😊

I scored it 7-5 to the yamaha... Good review.
Hello what would you recommend between vox mini 3 or roland cube?
mini 3
I have the THR5, I moved and never found the power cord. I liked it when I used it though. I have to buy a new power cord...
Vox wins that hand's down. A lot warmer in the tone. And the effects sounded better.
🎸👍
Both are for study or street, the biggest difference is the price. i prefer vox
For me the THR5 was the winner. The Vox was good but a little warmer and not as clear as the THR5. THR5 had better distortion imo too. Good video. I'd like to hear how the Boss Katana compares

The yamaha has audio interface right? How does it sound when recording? And how do you record with the vox?
haven't tried recording with the Yamaha myself. The Vox doesn't really have any recording options like the Yamaha
The THR5 Costs almost 3x that of the VOX Mini.
ya they are a lot more
Exactly what I came here to post. The vox is very reasonable, so even if it lacks something that the Yamaha doesn't (which I don't think it does) value for money goes to vox.

I’m a Vox fan, but that mini sounded like it had a blanket over the speaker. I did hear some rattling from the Yamaha, but that’s a problem you can probably fix. I think the THR was the better sounding amp. I’ve got a THR10 on the way.

If anything, I'd rather see the Vox mini go, which is higher end, be in this comparison.
I find "Line in" to be the cleanest sound on the Vox.
The Line channel is the perfect pedal platform, I use it at home
If the THR5 is rattling try tightening the screws with a screwdriver.
I found Vox on acoustic amps, can I use it on acoustic/electro
I would check Vox' website or contact them. I can't tell you yes or no :)
May try with "Line in" input, that actually is the cleanest sound.
Clean the Yamaha hands down for me but the vox with gain and distortion. The Yamaha did sound fuzzy or as you said rattley when cranked.

Héctor S they do have a head model like the thr. It's amazing. Check it out
Peace
I know mate, but they should make also a combo to compete with Boss, As far as i know a lot of people are waiting for a yamaha combo with the thr quality but more powerful. If they put in the market a 50 watt combo or something like that it will be a success!! IMO
How abt fender champ 20? What do u think?
haven't tried one personally
I had one and played with thr 2 few times. Both are souless to me, thr2 has better high gain tone than cham 20. Overall, Vox has much more character than both of them, especially on tweed voice.
Vox hands down for value but the Yamaha has a little more burst or punch.
Yo creo que el Vox tiene mas cuerpo y aveces se torna mas calido y el Yamaha tiene mas brillo por lo cual resalta más su agudeza.. Ahora ya dependería de los gustos de la persona para escoger a uno.. Ambos suenan genial como para ser amplificadorcitos XD..
hola gracias por ver el video!
Me gusta mas el thr, pienso que el brillo lo puedes modular con llel tono de la guitarra o posiblemwnte ecualizar en el ampli, sera'?
Pues para salir a tocar el yamaha se ve muy delicado y como que aguanta menos la intemperie y el chiste de estos amplificaforcitos es que lo puedas llevar a donde quieras, igual el yamaha esta bien pinche caro bro
I've got a THR5. I like: pretty cool design, nice amp types, mobile, can change sounds when connected to pc, free Cubase AI software!!! I dislike it for: rattling! The 'Brit hi' and 'Modern' amp types (the metal ones) are really overdrived I think. Much louder than the cleaner amp types and can't go upon 2/3 of volume because the unit is starting to collapse.... so these amp types are not really well balanced I think. And no treble, middle and bass knob on the unit: I miss it so much.
k it wasn't just me with a rattling issue. that's too bad. :)
Lando27Music Hi! Yeah that rattling so annoying. Without that this would be a perfect amp. But. I've watched a lot of youtube video and no rattling on those amps. I'm pretty sure something is no good with my unit. I think will go for garantie. Could you solve that rattling problem? For example at 5:00 you are using the amp on a high setting with metal amp type and no rattling at all. My amp would distroy itself with that setting... 😎
Yamaha has a full chromatic tuner. Vox only tunes to 'E'
Yamaha can be used as an audio interface. Vox cannot.
Yamaha has a tone editor. Vox does not.
Did you teste them with pedals?, is important if take them well
Hey no I chose not to because they have so many FX built in.
Nice video👌
How can i make the Yamaha Hall effect in my Vox mini 5?
hey thanks! what effects are on the Mini 5?
@@landonbailey It has exactly the same effects as Mini 3. But can i set them somehow to resemble to the Hall effect of the Yamaha?
ah k. I think Room may be the closest setting. Probably not as lush but similar
@@landonbailey Thank you
Maybe tighten a screw to stop metal raddle
the rattle appeared to come from the front grill shapes
I love my vox 😎
🎸👍
Vox luv
They still made lava lamps?
no 😝
flanger on the vox sounded awful
All flangers sound awful though.
The yamaha is much less altering the guitar tone than the vox.
Why at 6,24 min u put a black man with a gun?
It's Lando from Star Wars!
VOX!
I have the yamaha and im glad! The vox sounds proper meh. So much more of a crisp tone out of the thr5
Vince Gill has thr Yamaha...I have tge VoxMinie3
Vox's high gain was disappointing. A little to dirty.
they sound a bit diff in person
Hands down THR
Vox its almost good but cheaper
🎸👍
Thnaks good videp
Roland micro cube gx ,is the best...
winner vox
I love Yamaha THR5, the best.
WTF was that that popped up at 6:23 ?
The first rule of amp club, is you don’t talk about amp club. :)
😂😂 calrissian
The Yamaha sounds thin
thanks for the feedback! 😊👍
Yamaha build beautiful intruments, but they have to work on the sounding!! Both are not very good!😎🎸
Yamaha THRs are amazing in real life, this demo is not in any way accurate to what it actually sounds like. There is no rattle in mine either.
Vox
thr5 sounds too nasally
I liked mini G2 Vox.
great amp!
