Le Chat Noir Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) SOLD A lovely 2x12 combo here from Traynor, the 'Canadian Fender'! Still built like tanks in Canada. The amp has two channels, one voiced in homage to a driven British-voiced amp and the other a clean American-voiced amp. It'd be wrong to compare them directly to a driven Marshall and a Blackface Fender, becauser the Traynor has a voicing all of its own, but it certainly gets you into those territories! Lots of positive reviews here: [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/86265"]http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/86265[/url] Here is a fascinating video showing the amazing construction techniques used by Traynor, including a unique bath soldering technique that makes a mockery of the dodgy soldering seen in some Asian-made amps - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB2oXPlVyyI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB2oXPlVyyI...feature=related[/url] It's in good condition, only a few little nicks in the tolex as you can see in the photos. I've recently upgraded the speakers to a pair of Eminence GB128, which are fantastic Greenback-style speakers but with a 50w power handling. Check out the reviews all over the net! These were a huge leap in quality from the stock Celestion 70/80s. It comes with a Silverstone soft cover which cost about 30 quid. Photos are of the actual amp for sale, not stock shots. I acquired the amp about a year ago and have hardly played it since then as I've not been playing as much music and whilst this is a fantastic amp, I'm too used to the sound of my Orange AD30! I live in the South West of England but can probably work out a meet/delivery further afield sometime - I even go over to Europe occasionally if anyone over there is interested. I'm happy to couriner it in the UK at cost. These amps are no longer sold in the UK, but the last few I've seen in stock in some shops sell for around the 700 quid mark. There is a new 4x10 version of this amp on Ebay for 899 quid currently ([url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRAYNOR-YCV80Q-AMPLIFIER-VARIOUS-PAYMENT-METHODS-/380206511963"]SEE HERE[/url]). The Eminence speakers aren't even broken in and cost me about 90 quid for the pair. I've also recently revalved the amp with JJ tubes. Bearing all that in mind, I think 350 pounds would be a bargain price. I may entertain offers! If you're interested, please e-mail me at [[email protected]][email protected][/email] - cheers!
