THR AMPLIFIERS
Yamaha went retro with its THR guitar ampli-
amp modeling and also function as a guitar recording
interface. Though compact, the amps pack a
lot of power for electric guitars, acoustic guitars or
basses. Fully portable, the battery-powered THR
series features the company’s virtual circuit modeling
effects. The amps also include an input for an
MP3 player and a USB direct input. {yamaha.com}

ORANGE MICRO TERROR
& PPC108 CAB Want the
sound of a full-blown stack
room?
Enter the Orange Micro
the company’s Terror series. It
has a single 12AX7 pre-amp
tube with 20 watts RMS
of solid-state
output. The Micro
Terror harnesses
Orange’s classic
vintage sound,
along with a
clean crunch
and full-blown
overdrive. When
coupled with the
new PPC108 cab,
which has an
8-inch speaker
and punchy tone,
the two become
a mini-stack
with surprising
power. {orange
