Traynor YBA200 Tube Test - With Acme Series III Flatwound and Lakland LOG P5
Loading...
Uploaded by Muckaluck589 on Mar 6, 2011
In my hunt for youtube soundclips of the YBA200 there was very little out there, especially in terms of showing the famous tube swap. I decided to post a side by side comparison of the stock tubes vs NOS RCA tubes. Details are included as subtitles in the video but here's a brief synopsis of what I used:
Bass: Lakland LOG P5
Cab: Acme Flatwound Series III
Strings: 1 month old Joe Osborn flats
Once the video is loaded you can jump back and forth between the first and second clips to do a side by side comparison.
I think a pleasant byproduct of this comparison is a showcase of the elusive Acme flatwound and the Lakland LOG bass. With regards to the flatwound, I don't think I've ever had the privelege of playing through such a sweet speaker. This thing is awesome. As well, the LOG bass is just what I've been waiting for; a well constructed 5 string P that captures the vintage sound. The icing on the cake is that it is only 1 of 30 made!

@Muckaluck589 thanks man!

Finally got a chance to play this rig out the other weekend. Higher volumes brought out the thick mids much more and I had no trouble cutting through a cranked 40 watt Marshall and a Fender Blues Deluxe. No problem with the volume at this point, especially consiideriing the relatively inefficient Acme cab.

Yes I love the thickness of this amp. I'm actually very confident in the power section. One of the keys for me to get more power out of it is to reduce the resonance and lower the EQ. It really helps open the amp up at higher volumes.

about time. this is hunestly one of the best sounding amps i've ever heard albeit short on power.

does this amp messes up with a loud snare and a marshall guitar stack? Or better said, do the people hear you?

@IwannaBEamerican I have played with a marshall stack and a hard hitting drummer. No problem hearing myself even with the single 12" speaker

can you get some awsome distortion out of it?
(can't really hear because of youtube compression)

Yeah I can get some serious dirt out of it especially with my P bass wiith flats. With the NOS tubes the distortion is a little less trebly than wiith the stock 12AX7s. The NOS 12AT7s bring out a really nice middy thickness in the distortion.
