awesome! i have the same head.
Traynor YSR1 custom reverb. but mine has the 2x12 cab. i believe it is marsland loaded. i do not like the speakers a great deal.
sound much better with the 2x12 vintage 30's in my dg100 yamaha.
i paid 100 bucks for mine.
i think the logo is original, mine has the same one but it is mounted in the center of the cloth.
let me know what mods you get done. i am curious to what i can do to mine to zone into the Marshall sound better. as is, it is real nice but not jaw dropping.

Yep! That looks exactly the same. Any idea what year yours is?

So far all I asked Rob to do was to change the volume pots from 4 meg to 1 meg which he said would take away some of the harshness. I got the amp back on the weekend and I needed to swap out a couple of the 12AX7's as they were microphonic. Once that was done everything was good. This thing sounds really nice stock (or close to it). Almost fenderish but different in a subtle way. The reverb is very strong and sounds suprisingly good, not quite as "warm" as the Bandmasters but still very good. I'm not getting a lot of volume out of it, I was actually able to dime it without killing myself (wife was out) and it sounded really great. It takes pedals very well. I use a TIM and MI Audio Crunchbox for my OD/Distortion sounds and both sound great with the Traynor. Because of that I'll probably not bother modding it any further. I like it the way it is.

i am really unsure of the date, my serial number is in a different spot and appears to be stamped on a blank part of the label.
S70034
who ever owned it in the past had removed the reverb tank and added a three prong chord.
mine is loud.
what channel did you use?
the channel bridge trick works with mine, i run a short cable from the top channel 1 to the bottom channel 2 and then tweak the separate volumes for extra gain and tone options. but i will say channel 2 is very bright and has more volume it seems.
i have been running a digitech BadMonkey as a boost and it works fine.
i most often use the 1 channel now that i have the BadMonkey.
i wouldn't doulbt a new set of tubes would really liven mine up. the power tubes are not a matched set. a friend has recently discovered a guy in my area with old tubes, i am hoping they are something special.
it would be sweet to find some NOS tubes from the past.
