The guitarists however are in for a real treat because this is a serious desktop amp from the pioneers of desktops amps.
Id core beam vs yamaha thr.
Yamaha thr10x vs blackstar id core beam discussion in gear equipment started by dracodimitrios13 jan 22 2017.
These amps are feature packed and sound pretty good.
A couple of years ago when i decided to restart playing guitar i bought myself a yamaha thr 10c as a decent sounding space saving amp and was initially impressed with it.
There s a phones output and a line in as well as a usb socket allowing connection to blackstar s excellent insider software and two way audio.
Tone matched as close as i could get.
Fast forward to 3 20 to hear it in action.
No eq effects or other funny business.
With a young family i like the idea of the id core beam 20 or th.
The thr has an actual handle while the id core has a strap so the thr might be easier to grab and go.
And one more item that might be in blackstars favor.
Direct usb sound from yamaha thr10x and blackstar id 60 tvp amp modelers.
It s twice as big and gets twice as loud as the thr10 but in terms of tone the thr10 completely owns it.
The id core beam has familiar amp like controls for gain volume and eq with a voice selector and two knobs to select and vary the onboard effects.
Really after the fantastic id amps blackstar should be embarrassed about the id core amps.
Here s the demo of the entry 10 watt 5 watt 5watt amp.
It s a more compact entry in the id core line 291 x 169 x 166mm as opposed to the stereo 10 s 340 x 265 x 185mm packing the same principle electric models and adding bluetooth for wireless music playback.
Yamaha thr10c or blackstar id core beam or alternative.
Yamaha s thr was one of the first in this.
Hi i m a beginner looking for a practice amp at home that is good at low volumes.
The beam concept is simple.
The yamaha thr series doesn t look much like a guitar amplifier and that s the idea.
Well the id core 20 got here today and frankly i think it s awful.
You can connect a footswitch to the id core 20 and 40 models which would allow for more control in a live situation.
