«  A good companion for stage and rehearsal »

Best value: Excellent
Amplification tube, 40 watt settings "eq" simple and independent for each channel.
Loop, effects available but do not do that, the real trick is to plug the pedals in series and then the guitar input.

UTILIZATION

Not need the manual unless ortho. The sound, it is obtained immediately with the settings "eq" at noon, the rest it depends on your preference but I recommend extreme settings (especially with the low eq will be scolded the speaker). We can turn the volume up to 7, after it's rough but it will be because you'll be deaf visited this volume there. On stage, you can move it away from us and he responds very well. In local repeat, I lead him to two and everyone complains about his power :)

SOUNDS

Yes it is perfect for my style to Sonic Youth ... the canal is hallucinatory lean tellment it keeps its purity even after having eight pedals connected in series. This is serious. I love, I play with my Jazzmaster USA, incredible. It responds better to humbuckers than single coils in my opinion ... I do not use the distortion channel, too cliche for my taste. I bought this amp after testing a Hot Rod Deluxe as its clean channel is superior (who would have thought!) Is obtained from Crystal clear but according to your pedals, you can do screaming sound.
The integrated reverb is not great either, I prefer my Boss RV-5.

Recently tested in the studio, my amp sounds great even at low volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since July 2006 on the local scene and repeat and I do not would sell for anything in the world. I have a Blues Junior and a Supersonic 22 but I always return to my Traynor, it is my "main" amp, made my home in Canada. :)

Excellent value for money, make this choice if you can, it has nothing to envy the Fenders, it's built to last.
