great score!


gerald, is that a YGL3A?

do you have a shot of the back?


if so that is a MONDO bass amp....they are quite sought after & fairly rare, they put out ~200w !!

probably not quite as suited to gtr, unless you're after big clean hiwatt tones or use pedals...but I bet they sound great nonetheless


they use special power tubes, the voltage is run thru a cap on top of the power tubes, you don't want to stick your hand back there when they're on, or you'll end up dancing like a banana!! :banana:

I can't get any images in your link to load ?


looks like I have the YBA-3A & YGL-3A mixed up

the YBA-3A is the monster bass amp

YGl-3A is a 100w gtr amp with trem & verb, I bet that thing sounds fantastic :rockon2:

there is a some great info on the YGL3 series amps here on velvet black ( traynor site): .pdf with schem, service notes, manual, etc:

prolly sounds good for bass too, pete traynor was a bass player

[I can't get any images in your link to load ?] its probably Bill gates' goon squad trying to make sure that you cant acsess any Opera files from Internet Explorer.This joker wants to keep the net closed. How many Anti-trust suits does he need to get slapped with? He doesnt care, specially with his buddies in the oval office firmly in his pocket.Or maybe its not. back on topic though, anyone know how to replace that noisy clunky old fan with a new onw, i mean exactly?

hehe, no I am using firefox, the new version as well

why on earth does everyone f*ck up traynor amps by sending them to some guy to mod? they sound fuggin GREAT as they are...

I own a '66 100w marshall, a vintage 50w hiwatt, an ampeg V4B & a blackfaced SF twin reverb...and can attest that a stock traynor will go head to head with all of them. they are right up there with the best of the best.

my buddy has a YSR1 I have played through, it is a fantastic amp stock. the bias modulating tremolo is better than any other, including anything past a brown era fender. IMO

 

[bolero]

yes, but my point is that people buy traynors & immediately ship them off somewhere to get all kinds of mods done...without actually giving the amp a chance as-is.


I just listed those amps as references a stock traynor will already cop; I'm not talking out of my arse here, I have actually played them side by side. and the traynors sound as good, if not better.


without having to gut & rewire the thing, like this:

some mods are less invasive than others, but I generally believe in keeping an amp close to it's original design...unless it sounds like crap...which most traynors don't!!

but you are right, it is the owners choice...unf many people aren't aware of how good these sound stock. or so it seems.

ps. I hope you guys don't think I'm being ornery or anything...no bad vibes intended in this thread!!

:food-smiley-004:


but before you mod it....plug a les paul into that sucker, hook it up to a good 4x12, and crank the snot out of it!! :banana:

get back to me on how it sounds....



I've had my eye out for a YSR1 & a YBA1 for a while, I think the only thing I would change are the volume pots


cheers

....bah humbug!!

 

[bolero]
