As the desire for
real tube tone continues to grow among guitarists, Yorkville responds to the
demand by re-introducing Canadian-made Traynor Tube Amplifiers!
Made famous in the 60s and 70s, Traynor Tube Amps were a hit among both
professional and hobby guitarists, and were known for their affordability
and great tone. The Custom Valve 40, released in 2000, was the first in the
next generation of new Traynor amplifiers. The YCV40 was followed shortly
after by the larger, more powerful and fully featured Custom Valve 80 and
Custom Valve 80Q.
Enter the all-tube Traynor Custom Valve 20
Traynor Custom Valve 20 answers the need for guitar players looking for
superior sounding all-tube tone in a smaller, yet still feature loaded,
lower powered, more manageable amplifier package.
The Traynor Custom Valve 20 is perfect for the studio or for any gig where
15 tube watts is more than enough power, but full functionality is required.
Unlike competitive amplifiers in this class, the YCV20 offers the
discriminating player two discrete foot switchable channels with true
independent gain and volume controls on each. A master three band EQ,
effects loop (line output) as well as an internal spring reverb are all
standard equipment. Additional controls include bright switch on the clean
channel and boost switch on the lead channel.
The Traynor Custom Valve 20 ensures clean quiet operation by borrowing the
same DC Filament and regulated power supply design as used in its big
brothers, the Custom Valve 40 and Custom Valve ''80s. The YCV20 is a 'Class
A' power amplifier is driven by three Sovtek 12AX7A''s and two EL84's.
The internal gadgetry in this channel switching amp provides good
flexibility, but makes it very easy to get a great tone. We challenge you to
compare us to the competition. You will love the tone and instantly
recognize the value of this amp.
