How to Download and Load Presets onto your Yamaha THRii Amp

One of the most frequently asked questions from viewers of my channel is: “how do you load presets on to my Yamaha THR?” or “you should post your guitar tones to download?” This seemed like an important task to tackle so I put together this video to help Yamaha THR users get the delicious tones they need off the internet and onto their amps. I hope this video helps the THR user community to share our amazing tones together. If you have further questions or suggestions, leave a comment below. Many of my best video ideas come from my viewers, so thank you for watching and chiming in!!!

    Hey Drew, this is really cool, I just bought the THR30II Bluetooth one. I have a question though, how do I backup the existing presets that I already have in the Yamaha? Let's say, I download one your presets, won't it overwrite the one that was on the Yamaha? I can't get Yamaha to get that Classic rock sound., i.e., AC/DC, Zepplein, Greenday, Beatles, Sabbath, Stones, that kind of sound! Thank you for posting this. Very helpful.

    Will depend on venue size, as it's not going to fill a 1000 cap club. BUT the 30 has a stereo line out, allowing you to feed to a mixer and then on to PA, while still using amp itself as a monitor. I've not played live for many years and am recovering from a nasty hand injury, but the potential to do this down the line was one of the reasons I paid the little extra for this amazing amp.

    I do have one question about the THR. I've been using it for a while, but there's one thing that still isn't clear to me or messes with my head a little. If you load a preset, and then want to tweak it a little ON THE AMP. You change one parameter, but what happens to all the other parameters? Do they stay as saved in the preset (in this case you don't see what you hear, which is odd) or do they all change to the settings currently on the amps knobs? I kinda discovered that it seems to be easier to make adjustments through the app... any thoughts on this? Thanks

    Yeah, I found the same thing. You tweak one thing on the amp it readjust the sound you have in the app. It makes sense of course. The app is overriding the knobs. As soon as you touch the knobs the app has to adjust everything to what you are doing with the knobs.

    I use THR remote IOS App and i download presets and place in the IOS Filer location. In there you have a folder called THR Remote and in Presets folder you will see those preset you chose to save in the format of.thr6p. I open the THR remote app on my phone, load the presets i like, so say i want clean, lead and hi gain for blues purpose i then do a "Backup THR" of current loaded presets and call it as example "My Blues presets" and then i create another one and call it "My Go to Presets" and so on. Whenever i want to get the set of presets back i simply do "Restore THR"

    That’s called training your ear… I’ve just started playing a few months or so ago and you feel clueless at first but eventually you’ll start to be able to hear things an make your own adjustments. Like adding or removing gain and dropping the mids for a chunky rock tone… that’s called scooping the mids. Sometimes it can enhance the sound you’re looking for or sometimes you might need to add more mid and need to drip the gain down. This amp has a full EQ setting so you can really get the sound you’re after. You just have to play around with it and if you find a good tone save it or better yet write it down and it will help you develop your ear for tone. If you have someone that has a good trained ear that will help you learn faster but otherwise you’ll have to do what I’ve done and just kinda listen and learn. Good luck man 🤘
