well i'm picking this up tomorrow for 500$ canadian, its really not a bad deal..... the head is a 130 watt tube guitar head with reverb and tremolo but it will not distort no matter what........ which is crazy...... and the cab is a 2-10 and 1-18" cab where there is no information, a bit of a gamble, but the head is really really nice....... we'll see how it sounds tomorrow.

way to go . :thmbsp: i found the lit on the amp so dont worry about it.as for the cab what model is it?
my brother has a ycv-212 with 2 12' cerwin vegas in it that he uses with his yba 3 cstom special and sounds great.my other brother has the earlier yba 3 without the master gain control and uses his with a 4 plex.enjoy the traynor as they are a truly great amp and can give some of the bigger name manufacturers a run for their money.heres a shot of the cab and one of the yba 3 custom special.

and the head....

nice, i've got a yba 3 also..... this head is strange..... it doesent seem very loud..... but it might just be the cab....... the cab is a yc-188 which has 2 6.5" and at least one 18" i havent popped it open yet, but it is bloody heavy..... i think i'll try my yba3/SVT into the cab and this one into my ACOUSTIC 4-12 and see how it goes the reverb is a bit screwy, i think a springs loose.... and the tremolo doesent kick in till 7, bu its the nicest on each i've ever heard..... i've gotta pop off the top and take a look though.... it also picks up hum really bad, but as long as i'm turned away its a rocking amp

just did the quick fix and switched out the verb tank with an old fire damaged accutronics, and its truly the BEST reverb i've ever heard...... havent had a chance to crank the OD pedal into it yet for lack of cords, but its really sweet

well this is what I got not much just a crate bv120 blue vodoo 120 watt 2 chanel with seperate adjustments for the plate reverb
its got four el6l6 tubes with 12ax7's for the pre amp

Rockmonton
01-17-2005, 07:54 PM
lol there aint no el6l6's ahha theres el34's and 6l6's but no hybriod.. needless to say those voodoo's are sweet amps too! this thing just wont distort.. it'll get a bit flabby on the bass, but thats the speaker breaking up a bit with everything at 10 and actives... my friggin buddy lost the plans i had for a 2-15" combo amp so i've got to redraw them again! grr.....

i mean thats really bright, but 120 watts out of them is a lot i'm sure these ones also run bright, actually i'm gonna go play in the dark now.... they've got their own little cooling fan they run so bright!

hmmph the reverb now starting up is like an OD, i'm guessing a rusty connection with the tank, anyone else got an idea, it resolves itself after a bit sometimes, but i guess i'll clean the connections later and try it agani
