If, like me, you've coveted Yamaha's THR series amps since they launched, as a seriously cool piece of hardware that is also cool-looking – something your other half might not object to – then you might be in luck. Amazon has several of the THRs in its Black Friday sale at up to 9% off

It's an amp, with amp modelling, effects, USB audio, Bluetooth and mobile connectivity. The THRII Wireless has a built-in receiver for a Line 6 Relay G10II - the wireless transmitter produced by Yamaha’s sister company – and it's also on sale.

Yamaha's stated-aim for the THR series was for it to be your ‘third amp’ – the guitar amp that bridges the gap between the ugly black box in the corner of your room and the impractical overpowered nature of your on-stage amp. The earlier THRs sounded great, but the new ones take it to a different level, with Line 6’s brilliant G10 wireless system, Bluetooth for streaming backing tracks and a superb range of stylistic options. The Yamaha THR30II WL made it into our guide to the Best Guitar Amps Under $1,000 right now: the sounds are very authentic, it looks mega cool and it's $50 cheaper right now.

One of the Best Guitar Amps Under $1,000 of 2023. If you’ve got a bigger room and want a bit more power, step toward the THR30II. It has exactly the same features as the THRII10 models, but you’ll get a boost in volume and tone from its 30-watt output. It’s still battery-powered, it’s still wireless, just bigger and louder. Amazon is offering the same discount on the regular colour, plus Black and White models.

The THRII10 WL gives you everything the regular THR10II does, except it’s wireless and can run from a rechargeable internal battery! Inside there’s a receiver for a Line 6 Relay wireless transmitter, so, you can find the perfect spot for your amp regardless of power sockets (it can run off mains power too though). Connect to your guitar with the Relay and control your amp via your phone over Bluetooth without having to touch the amp or worry about cables.

Of course, to make the most of that wireless connectivity, you’ll need the Line 6 Relay G10II transmitter. This little dongle plugs into your electric or electro-acoustic jack socket and digitally beams your signal directly to the THRII Wireless receiver. There’s no interference, and no delay, just cable-free playing. Get a hefty reduction of nearly a third off the list price.
