Yamaha H2791 Teaser: A New THR amplifier? |
| Tuesday 25 August 2015 | |

Yamaha moves music enthusiasts to the edge of their seats with teasers for the H2791 and the hashtag #DontEmulateCreate. The rumour mill has been at it for a while, but exact specifications remain elusive. Everything seems to indicate that this is about a new type of THR amplifier that allows you to select various types of amp tubes.
Power: pick your tubesThe teaser picture shows a selection of power valves, such as the 6V6, EL84, KT88, 6L6GC and EL34. It would seem that with the H2791, Yamaha is throwing down the gauntlet to the successful Blackstar ID series. These amps allow you to emulate the response of various types of power valves, giving you the characteristic sound and the dynamics of a real tube amp.

Or are there perhaps multiple models in the line up, perhaps including a new, lunchbox-style amp with added functionality? Maybe there will even be a 19" rack version!
