    Hi i have received this cabinet to refurbish it with new tolex and change the baffle from 6x 10 to 2x10 and one 1x15, my question is Where could i find the trims on the sides, any site where i could look for them?

    My ‘75 ygm-3 was modded to always have the reverb and tremolo on. Wanted to maybe put in a different pot for the tremolo that can switch off. Also do I install it in the ‘speed’ pot or the ‘intensity’ spot? Can anyone recommend one? Link? Much appreciated. Great amps 👍🏻

    The reverb is very drastic. Can I put in a at7 in v5 will that make the reverb pot more usable? Or I remember reader soldering a 250k resistor to the pot or something? Not sure how to do that

    Hi All. Thanks for maintaining a great forum. I’ve been a lurker for some time, but thought it was time to finally join in the conversation. I’m a relatively new guitar player (started after Christmas 2019), and recently upgraded to my first “real” amp, a 1971 Traynor YSR-1. I’m loving it so...

    Hi. Another impedance question (sorry!). I have a Traynor Bass Mate YBA-2B amp and speaker combo (early 70s). My goal is to take a direct signal out in to my computer/DAW (for use with an impulse response) for recording. The Traynor internal speaker is 8ohms. I have one output on the back of...

    2nd item in the “I bought the Hamer T 51 sell off” Traynor Small Black class D bass amp. Great semi parametric EQ on this one. 200 watts in a size/weight format that you could throw like a frisbee! I bought it as a backup for gigs, but that isn’t happening now. I used it with a small cab for...

    I've been on the search for a powerful, clean tube amp to replace my lackluster Blues Jr with, and I found a cool vintage Traynor YGL3 Mk3 that seems to appeal to me. I'm gonna go try it out tomorrow and I'm pretty excited. Has anyone had any experience with these amps? How is it in terms of...

    Title says it all, the amp is dead silent, no hum, the tremelo and reverb are perfect, pots are nice, but this thing is just mud. I cant get much of a decent tone out of it to save my life, it's currently parked. I opened up the top to have a peak, looks like it's all oiginal in there. I'm...

    I have a Traynor YSR-1 Custom Reverb head that I've owned and loved for nearly 40 years now. Always sounded great, very loud and clean. I had never had a single problem with it until recently. I heard a pop and the amp went dead. Found the fuse had blown, replaced it, and it blew again as soon...

    Hey guys - I could use your help here. Anyone own a YCV80 and a YCV40 or YCV20WR and could give me some feedback? The gain sound in the 40 and 20 is exactly my sound (especially when you click on that boost). I own a YCV20WR but I want some more volume and the sound of a bigger cab. I have...
  13. Amps and Cabs
    Hi everyone, first post here. I'm considering the Traynor YGL1, and I currently have a line on one for $300. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how this amp sounds for primarily clean playing, as I'd like to use pedals for gain sounds. All the demos I've seen seem to focus on the overdriven...

    So I picked up what looks like a late 60's Traynor YVM-1 PA head. I got it at a great price and figured to get it to make this amp into a modding project. - The general idea for it is to do the fairly basic modification ideas when it comes to vintage PA amps; I'd like to mod the preamp circuit...
  15. Amps and Cabs
    Hey. 1st post here. I own what is likely an early 70's YBA-3A Super Custom Special. Had it since the late 70s. All original, no mods. Pulled it out for the first time in a few years because of an online ad looking for one. She's not the prettiest (had the bright idea in the 80s of spraying the...

    Hi all! I'm wondering if anyone can give me some insight as to how I can eliminate this constant ticking sound coming out of my amp. I recently purchased an old Traynor ygm2 combo. It has tremelo but no reverb. It seems that after fiddling around inside it a bit an annoying ticking sound has...

    I have a Traynor YGM1 on whichI want to change the original Marsland speaker for something new. I have the 4 machine screws out but the speaker won't budge. I'm worried they glued the speaker in as well as using screws (belt and suspenders?). But that doesn't make sense from a maintenance...

    Hi GC folks. I have a Traynor YCS50 that makes a weird noise that kinda sounds like water dripping in the basement. Maybe a reverb issue? It doesn't happen on start up, and it only happens once in a while. It almost sounds like when a string makes contact with a pickup. Has anyone...

    Hi all, recently picked up this cool old traynor. Put new filter caps and electrolitics . The reveb is very distorted when I dig into a note. Is I play soft it's beautiful. I put new tubes, all resistors are within spec. Tank reads 180 ohm on input and output. Any ideas? Or just get a...

    I may have a chance at a current model YGL1. In fact, this particular one is covered in a factory tweed, rather than black tolex. It seems like a decent deal, though it's a few bucks more than the vintage ones I was looking at. The obvious benefit of a new / newish one is that I shouldn't have...
