Almost all this information comes from the most excellent thread at The Gear Page: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/yamaha-thr-ii.2081407/
Comparisons to the orginalTHR/THR10C/THR10x are a bit of a misnomer. A lot of sounds are new, and a lot are modified. The "Under the Hood" names tell some of the story of where the sounds originated.
Anyone with the link can comment - please add recommended changes and I'll integrate into the master document

Special thanks to John Kim, The Gear Page member ejohnson76, an engineer on the THR project who created the factory presets and much more
Comment from John Kim: I've put some comments on the amp list. As you can see the internal model name that self explanatory where it came from, they are from 1st gen models but tweaked by myself for the new cabinet & drivers(it
includes gain / tone stack adjustment, power amp gain, etc) Anything starts with THR30 is whole new, some are created from scratch. Enjoy!
