Hey, I'm starting this thread to avoid totally spamming someone else's thread about power amps...ok so I own 2 vintage Traynor combos (and a modern YBA-200 bass amp and 210/115 cab):
Mid 70s YGM-3 Guitar Mate 112 front loaded open back w/ tremolo & reverb, approx 25 watts thru 2 EL84s.
Mid 70s YGM-4 Studio Mate - same specs as above, but rear loaded and closed back.
Both are just amazing in their own similar, yet different way. But the stock Marsland speakers had to go...they're pretty "meh" on a good day...
I live a couple hours away from the factory, and have been told that back in the day, part of Pete Traynor's testing process for new amp designs was to drop them off the roof of their building, re-tube them, and see how they played! Now that's quality assurance!
I know Jaded Faith knows where it's at when we're talkin' Traynor...anyone else?
On a total side note...if anyone mentioned in this post happened to come up with a Traynor based module, I can think of at least one guy who would absolutely have to try one out... 8)
