Driven by four hand selected and tested EL34EH power and four 12AX7A preamp tubes, the 100-watt YCS100H2 is a true three channel amplifier, built for maximum flexibility on stage. Useful pro features like independent effects and reverb level controls on every channel, separate in-line and parallel effects loops, footswitchable solo boost, a speaker compensated XLR DI output, versatile voicing switches and user selectable amplifier output modes ensure the YCS100H2 will fit perfectly in the rehearsal hall, studio and concert hall.
True Three-Channel Architecture
The YCS100H2 uses a true
three-channel architecture that offers full
control of each and every channel. No shared
EQ's or pseudo "channels" here. Every
channel on the YCS100H2 has
individual gain and volume controls, a full
three band EQ with boost level and its own
effects return and reverb settings. Every
channel has additional voicing and boost
switches, increasing flexibility and
widening the tone pallet.
Versatile Voicing Control
Every Channel on the YCS100H2
delivers versatile voicing options with
Modern, Scoop and Boost switches to tailor
the tone to any playing style. The Master
Section includes an overall Master Volume,
Presence and Resonance Control to further
tailor the tone. The Resonance Control, when
used with a high quality and responsive
loudspeaker enclosure, like the Celestion
Vintage30 loaded Traynor YCS412A2
(Angled cabinet) or YCS412B2 (Bottom
cabinet), allows the player to dial in the
exact bass response from their rig that they
want to hear.
Unmatched Reliability and Tone
The Traynor YCS100H2 head, and
matching YCS412 cabinets are made
using a solid plywood cabinet construction
and an all-metal chassis; no MDF or
particleboard is used. Hand selected EL34EH
power tubes and 12AX7A preamp tubes are used
exclusively in the YCS100H2. An
Accutronics™ long-spring reverb is standard
issue.
Selectable Amplifier Modes
Selectable amplifier modes allow the
YCS100H2 to switch between a 100-watt
Class-A/B mode, ideal for the live stage, or
a more manageable 30-watt Class-A mode, -
perfect for creating a super saturated tone
in the studio.
Professional Feature Set
Professional features like separate parallel
and in-line effects with independent return
levels per channel, DynaSound speaker
compensated XLR direct output and a
heavy-duty four-button footswitch are
standard on the YCS100H2. A one-touch
solo boost button (with front panel level
control) delivers added flexibility on
stage.
