Members echodeluxe Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 so my amp right now is a 70 something traynor guitar mate reverb, show here: ive always dug it. the reverb is weak (tank might be crappy, might have a problem somewhere in the circuit who knows) but the trem is amazing, and its perfect size/power for me. so today i was in the basement writing, and i had the amp on like three and i wasnt really digging the sound. it was kinda flat, i guess. i was tweaking with the eq and then i figured "maybe if i turn it up..." well, theres your answer. right after 6 on the volume, it just turns into a dynamic full frequency monster. its riding the line of breakup, and will clip a little if you hit the strings hard, and its just fat and harmonically rich and awesome. chords sound huge and notes are full and sustain amazingly. then i kick on the fulldrive and HOLY{censored}DICKS, its a friggin hit. so, quit {censored}ing around with your settings and endless dirt pedals that emulate tube amps. just get a decent amp and crank the {censored}er. tube amps dont sound better than {censored} until you hit those power tubes harder. duh.

Members barjv01 Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've been thinking real hard about getting the re-issue they've got out. I've tried it out a couple of times and, like you, was really impressed by the trem and the reverb I thought was pretty good. What kind of speaker does yours have and are your tubes EL-84's. Nice Canadian Amp!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PKTrono Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 yes also, having your space echo out front pushing it into that slight-breaking-up spot is awesome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members echodeluxe Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 eff thats expensive. well, ive got the original so im good! i should take the back off and check the speaker, but its a lot of screws, and some of them are a little stripped.

Members IRG Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 I totally agree with the premise here. I love cranking my AC15c1, maybe a little touch of SHOD or a fuzz face, and crank the {censored}er. My ears are usually ringing fairly quickly though, so ya gotta be careful.

Members tronus Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Heck yea man... I've been cranking my amps since I got into tube amps. It can't be good for my ears though. I think my left is a little dull from tweaking pedals too close to my cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oinkbanana Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 vintage traynor amps are a really great ampssuper easy to find in montreal and toronto for pretty cheap. total workhorses too. and yup, cranking a tube amp is really fun.

Members SnorkelMonkey Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 so, quit {censored}ing around with your endless dirt pedals that emulate tube amps. just get a decent amp and crank the {censored}er. duh.Shhhhhh, don't tell anybody... I also feel the same way about faux tape echo pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 hahaha shhh. i dont like the space echo cuz it emulates a tape echo. i like it cuz it sounds good and has tap tempo and eq controls. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr.Pain-MD Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah, I love pushing the power section of my old Traynor as well. It gets to the edge of breakup around 4 low/normal bridged high/normal->low/bright at 3. Sounds amazing, it's so dynamic and thick sounding. I love it, here's a pic.YBA-4 here.
