Pentode Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Ok – Up for grabs is my immaculate Traynor YBA200-2, purchased new and imported from Uncle Sam in October last year. Reason for selling is that the American built SVT CL I’ve been looking for finally came up a few weeks after buying the Traynor (figures… ) so the Traynor’s got to go. If you’re not already familiar with it, the specs can be found here – [url="http://www.traynoramps.com/products.asp?type=5&cat=40&id=399"]http://www.traynoramps.com/products.asp?ty...t=40&id=399[/url] I’ve replaced the Sovtek 12AX7’s & EH 12AU7 originally supplied with the amp with NOS Phillips Cryo 12AX7 & 12AU7 from Watford Valves (about £100 worth). Like many other people, I found the Sovteks broke up a little too early. The new valves really improved the clean headroom and give a warm, warm bass. I’ll include the originals so you can mess about and find what suits you best. On this later model Traynor did away with the self bias circuitry, which I believe caused a few problems and now relies on the more standard ‘probe with a DMM and twiddle screwdriver in appropriate place’ type biasing method. Also, the later model comes laden with four KT88’s to loosen the plaster on the walls of your chosen venue. I’ll throw in a UK to US mains transformer and the flightcase shown in the photos – it’s not a custom fit jobby (s’what the SVT came over in..) but it’s good protection nevertheless. Altogether the amp, freight, duty, VAT and new valves came to about £690. Yours for £460. If you can get over to me near Milton Keynes (during office hours - sorry ), you’re more than welcome to have a cuppa and try it with your own cabs or my two SVT 15” thumpers.
