Comparison Yamaha THR10 vs Yamaha THR5

Type of equalizer provided in the device design

An equalizer allows you to change the volume of a separate part of the sound range (frequency band), thus changing the color of the entire sound. This is one of the most important functions related to audio settings; therefore, it can be provided directly in the guitar amplifiers themselves. And the type of equalizer is indicated by the number of bands available for adjustment.

The more of these bands, the more accurately you can adjust the sound, but the more complex and expensive the equipment becomes. In light of this, the simplest option involves only 2 bands - low and high frequencies; Often such an equalizer looks like two separate knobs for adjusting the bass and treble levels. At the same time, we note that similar functionality can be found in both budget and high-end guitar amplifiers: in the second case, it is assumed that if finer adjustments are needed, you can use external equipment. However, three-band solutions (low, mid and high frequencies) are the most popular these days: such an equalizer provides quite extensive possibilities for adjusting the sound and is relatively inexpensive (and if finer adjustments are required, you can use external equipment). 4-band equalizers are noticeably less common, but are also quite popular (including in inexpensive devices); and some models provide...5 or more (up to 12) adjustment bands.
