Recording an entire track using only the Yamaha THR...

LA-based studio guitar tech/producer/gear wizard Marc VanGool records an entire track using only a Yamaha THR10, Cubase AI6 and a 2008 MacBook.

The go-to guy for anything guitar-related in LA, Marc's credits include Daughtry (Marc's THR5 made it on to the latest record!), Kelly Clarkson, Black Stone Cherry, Theory of a Deadman, Creed, Adam Lambert, Papa Roach and 3 Doors Down and he's as likely to be found modding an amp or building a pedalboard as he is tracking an amazing guitar part or finding the perfect guitar sound for a hit record with his awesome collection of amps (a small part of which can be seen in the background of the video). Suffice to say, what he doesn't now about tone isn't really worth knowing...
And don't be fooled by the collection of incredible amps and outboard in the control room at Bay 7 Studios, everything you can hear was done using only what comes in the THR box (apart from the laptop and guitars).

Download the finished track, and the final Cubase project file, from www.yamaha-ar-network.com.

I live in the mountains and my electric goes out alot in crappy weather. I have a generator but it runs my fridge and lights and a few plugs in the house. We had a bad storm last winter and I would have went nuts if I didn't have this thing and some batteries and alot of beer!

Here's is the seldom seriously asked question, I have heard claims from a manufacturers representative who said the following that this unit can be used as home stereo in fact limitless home entertainment. What would then the longevity of such a device? Perhaps a bit unfair to ask?
