Is the ext. cabinet input on the amp for 8ohm cabs? I just got a 77, but since it's not labeled I'm being very cautious and not plugging it in until I find out for sure.

@trackingtim ermmm...mine is diferent as the Output Transformer is an old Albion replacement which has different impedance taps on it...so you need to look into that...I think Traynors had a low impedance, the Albion has a 16 and an 8, if I remember right, ...anyway, i suggest you hunt on google for the answer as I am not too sure...good luck..all the best...

The normal sounds no different if not brighter than the bright channel. BUT!! Still sounds great. I had the YB-1A but had to sell it when times got bad, I played it more than mY 72 Marshall and I'm sorry I ever sold it but, I did get the head with a 2-12 Peavy cabinet for 200 dollars and sold the head for 475 on Ebay. II had a great 38 Special sound with it untill a "MOUSE" chewed one of the cones to make a nest in the bottom of the cabinet along with BOTH cones from my Musicman 2-10 cab!

@grindinglicks I suspect that channel differences are more noticeable lower down on the dial....my Traynor is a lovely amp, I think it's more squishy than a Marshall in some ways, mine doesn't seem to be stock.......great comment from yourself, thank you.

Hi roy!

Superb playing, of course! Just wondered, if youre based in uk (if thats right) how did you get the yba - ebay from the states?

Or uk based seller? Would be heavily interested since i'm in europe myself. Cheers, harry

[skaboosh]

@HarryFortyTwo - Cheers Harry, appreciated...just keep looking on Ebay and you'll eventually grab one and possibly for a low price...that's how I got mine.......all the best..Roy

You have the best tone, and some of the tastiest playing, I have seen on youtube. Traynor should be endorsing you!

[kungpow79]

Excellent! Tone, technique, I think one of the best I've heard on You tube. Bravo

[DonaldDemon]

Wow, now that is TONE! Awesome playing as well!

[ToneTaster]

Absolutely beautiful playing! And the tone too, wow! The spiderweb shot cracked me up. I'm refurbishing one of these amps now. I'm a good player but I can't play blues like that. Absolutely beautiful!

[chosen1Imcoming]

Wow that sounds amazing dude. The sustain. At 0:12 was mind blowing. I have a Traynor YSR-1 Custom Reverb. The vintage Traynor stuff is out of this world. Great stuff! Nice playing btw!!!!! Cheers!

I was wondering - is there an identifiable name you use for these later models with the slant faceplates? I know there are the really early ones that is just a standard box for the head, then there are the ones with the silver trip/edges, and then there are these. Are these the so-called "rubber bumper" models?

@HarryFortyTwo and any others interested... I have this same exact amp, from 1979.

IM LOOKING TO SELL IT! send me a personal message or find me on facebook if youre interested! search my name (Kurtis Alan) from Massachusetts USA
