Members Combat Chuck Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 diode clipping...? Does that mean that it does not use the tubes for distortion? Does that mean that it will sound exactly the same and won't give powertube distortion when cranked? I'm a little confused... And another Q... Is that Vintage 30 broken in? If it sounds this good quiet and with the speaker not broken in. Imagine cranked with a broken in v30 ok, 2 more Questions. Is it openback or closed?and, when you take it out, let us know how much headroom it has.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it uses diodes in the pre...that's what I've been told...even if it does, if it sounds good it is good. It uses 3 12ax7's and 2 EL34's...it is definately a tube amp.

It's not a bad thing at all... The Marshall Jubilee and Slash amps both have/had diode clipping in them and they rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArthurS Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yorkville has the schematics for their amps on their website. Here is the one for the YCV40, and here for the 50BLUE. Great clips, by the way. Does anyone know if it's possible to convert an YCV40 into a 50, and if so, how difficult this is? The schematics seem to suggest that they're largely the same.

Members riffy Posted June 8, 2005 Members Share Posted June 8, 2005 Originally posted by Randy Van Sykes It was not loud at all....looking forward to hearing it cranked up. Nice alternative to my back-breaker for those smaller gigs...check it out Gary I can't wait to hear you record it cranked! I really love the sound of that amp. I have downloaded and saved both clips of it now...I am really going to look for one. I may have to order one to try it but what the heck, I am only out the shipping if it won't do for me!GaryBTW, I forgot to comment! KILLER PLAYING MAN!!!!!!!!

Members Baddass Posted June 8, 2005 Members Share Posted June 8, 2005 Originally posted by Randy Van Sykes Walked into my local music store and my friend that works there literaly dragged me over to this new 1x12 offering from Traynor. Traynor Custom Valve 50BLUE 50 watt loaded with a Celestion Vintage 30...sounds like a little vicious Marshall...tons of gain on tap...very smooth. http://www.digitalsoundplanet.com/Members/000142424_000011337_proj.mp3Website info.... http://www.yorkville.com/products.asp?type=32&cat=18&id=318 Guitar sounds great ,song reminds me of something Jeff Beck might have put on Blow by Blow. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the circuit and while there are diodes in there, I didn't see one that would serve as an added distortion machanism. Unless somebody can point them out to me, I would say this amp does not use diode clipping as a base of its sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reddt1 Posted June 8, 2005 Members Share Posted June 8, 2005 Wow, bro, that is some sweet playing! I have a YCV50 Blue and I think it's great. However, I'd rather have a Peavey Rage and be able to play like you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Randy Van Sykes Posted June 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yep....She stays. It sounded really nice cranked up and kept up with a hard hitting drummer easily...I had a great time gigging with it...and the soundman liked it too (I know him well, he has really good ears and is not easily impressed). Great little rock amp. No doubt I'll be switching out the speakers in it all the time...I think I'll try an H30 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
