MGR/Chris Bromley « Traynor YCV40 »
Published on 01/06/04 at 15:00I went to Long and Mcquade for their november yorkville promo month looking for a traynor amp. I had previously played one a couple of times and I absolutely loved the sound. Nothing i had heard before had ever compared to it. I got 0% financing on it and with all taxes, it was just shy of $800 canadian. I stand by the fact that it is more than well worth the money.
Like I said before, value for money. It is an awesome amp. It is only 40 watts but it's output power is WELL over 100 easily. When I go to band practice with a drummer who hits frigin hard, 2 guitars and one loud bass (plus a singer), i play at a volume of only 2.5 literally and im at the same level as anyone else. I could very well never need another amp ever again. Definitely an amp to gig with no problem. I absolutely love this amp and even though it cost a bit of money, its worth so much more.
I dont think there is anything I don't like about this amp. The natural tube distortion sounds great so I can't even put that down.
Very solid construction. I like to stand on it at band practices at times ahahaha. Definitely built to last.
Overall, definitely an amazing amp. Couldn't be happier. I can even compare it to a Marshall half stack easily (but we all know how much money those are) so it's very nice to have something a bit more affordable. I really don't think I'll need another amp for the next 20 years atleast (if not ever).
