Has anyone had experience with a '70 or '71 Traynor YSR-1 Custom Reverb head? I could maybe get one over here, just would like to know if they're good. What are they generally worth and what other amps could they be compared to?

I took the risk and traded for this amp without knowing much about it. I just heard it and had to grab it! It's in mint shape and I got it from the original owner.

It is very LOUD. It stays very clean on the 1st input, but the 2nd input breaks up at lower volumes. The reverb is alright, not as good as a Fender, Tremolo is lacking at bit too but it's still pretty fun. It takes to pedals very well. My distortion and overdrive pedals siund great.

thats a great great amp. I have one. Trick is to drive it into the right cabineyt. a 4X12 marshall with 65 watt speakers, or a 2X15 EV cabinet with 300 watt speakers will do the trick . Its VEEEEERY excellent classic tube rock distortion. Yes, that tremolo is very nice..how many amps you know of have this feature-a tube tremolo?- only exotic(now) Fenders. SEll this dog-ass amp immidiatly! ...to me!

my .o2c: get it checked out, they have some of the best tremolo EVER, in my opinion....it is power-tube modulating trem, & is very lush....sounds like it needs some TLC

the lower ( 2nd ) input on traynors is the hot input


these sound great with les pauls :rockon2:
