At the gig I did last night, the guitar player had one of the new Traynor amps with the extension cabinet. Very nice! | ||

That's a name I haven't heard since my high school years. At the time, in my opinion, they had one of the better sounding tube bass heads. Keith | ||

I was surprised. At every other gig I've done with him he's brought a Fender or a Marshall, usually both. His combo and extension had the "wine red leatherette finish", which looked nice. | ||

Traynor / Yorkville is one of the best kept secrets today. I have a small Yorkville combo and it is amazing. well constructed, great sound, reasonably priced and made in Canada. I have read great reviews of the new Traynor tube heads too. Definitely try a Yorkville if you get a chance. | ||

Traynor is a name from the past,but I have seen more and more advertising for them. Back in the early 70's I played in a group where the 2 guitarists and keyboard player used Traynors..and they sounded real good,but they all switched over to Marshalls. I recall trying one of their amps and got a real nice Squire kind of sound. | ||

The new wine red Traynor (celestian speaker) is a thing of beauty - nearly bought one recently but opted for a Reverend Hellhound. Nice to see some other good options for tube amps out there. | ||

Just looked at the Yorkville site and they seem to have a pretty good waranty. Two years they fix it even if you broke it. Car accidents, acts of nature exempt. Keith | ||

My bass player has been playing through his Traynor since he bought it new in 1976! It still works fine, though its sound improved quite a bit when he added an SF-2 a few months ago. Bill, tgo | ||

One reason Traynors are getting more attention is because amp guru Dan Torres loves them, and has written some mods for them in his book. They deserve the attention: they sound great, are built like tanks, and are easy to work on. And they're genarelly fairly cheap, though this is changing rapidly. |
