User Reviews of Traynor YCS50 Guitar Amp 50W

I purchased from the YCS-50 from Musicians Buy which has dropped shipped from the factory. The first shipment had to be returned due to a crackling sound after trying the recommended self test provided by the GREAT staff at MusiciansBuy and also from the techincians at Traynor - I must say I was highly impressed with Yorkville by getting a person (not a machine or voice mail) everytime I called (about 3x). MusciansBuy made all the arrangemments and had a brand new replacement to me within a week! Now for the amp - it sounds great, although if you like reverb,you must crank it to 12:00 or to get a richer sound. The expander boost on clean channel gives an excellent acoustic type sound. The bright, usa brit, modern,scoop,voice all work well and adds creative sounds to this amp. I owned a Custom Reverb head back in the late 60's and it was a great amp (too bad they don't reissue those today) and the reliablity was excellent. The cabinet is HEAVY, very well made. The Celestian speaker is of very high quality and offers good clean and dirty sounds from it. This model allows you to change tube types and has a bias tube adj to accomodate that change if ever needed. For the price you cannot beat the features and quality - only downside, I wish it had 2 input jacks vs one. Buy it, you won't be disappointed and buy it from MusciansBuy - they are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

had it about 2 weeks now and been playing it every day. Every time I turn it on I am surprised at how many sounds I can get out of it. With the brit voicing on the clean channel you can get all kinds of sounds. The reverb is good and the OD is rich and full.

this is a great amp,I have had it about a month,its sounds better the more it breaks in,I was used too fender amps so it took me awhile too dial in the tones i wanted, I use a fender strat, and a rc designs aspen semi hollow body,i can get any sound i want out of it,there is more than enough gain,too get a clean sound out othe lead channel,turn the master up three quarters,the gain,one quater,volume aliitle over half,plenty of sustain,buy this you will not be disappointed,but be patient until you learn how too use it,gary
