Most everyone has seen the Traynor YCV20WR that I had. Well, I traded it last night for
a beast. Of course, I'm not going to keep it, but it was too great of a deal to pass up.....
and it'll be fun to play around with until I can trade or sell it. OK, OK....here is the beast!
TRAYNOR YCV80 Tube Amp
When the Custom Valve 40 was getting rave reviews in the all-tube combo amp market, Traynor
responded to the demand by expanding the line with the addition of the 2x12" Celestion™ loaded
combo Custom Valve 80 - YCV80.
Two new tone-shaping controls give players unprecedented tonal variety for nearly any vintage
tube tone. A 'Scoop' switch on the lead channel adds body for much heavier leads while the
'Expander' switch on channel two equalizes certain frequencies to create crystal clear new rhythm
sounds - often simulating an acoustic-like tone from an electric guitar.
A parallel effects loop with separate input and output trim pots for better overall effects control
and a series effects loop (or loop through) between the tube pre-amp and tube power stage
give the performer more flexibility over the signal path than found on other amplifiers.
