Traynor Solid State Amplifiers

[Jim Strawser]

Here is a new question on amplifiers that I seldom see discussed here!! I just stole (yep stole) a Traynor TS-100 Solid State(1980s era) 120 watt amp on Ebay from a pawnshop. It has a clean channel and a distortion channel, the long 9.25 inch Accutronics spring reverb, a bright switch, line out etc etc. Mr Traynor was a wizard on amplifiers but Yorkshire Sound bought his name when he decided to retire not long ago. His history goes back to the early pre-woodstock days. It makes interesting reading. Yes, its a Canadian amplifier and reputed to be a poor mans Fender Twin or Deluxe Reverb. Older Traynor amps are rare and the newer ones are pricey. So since I am not gonna gig much, i thought why not? $66.00 plus shipping came to $116.00! BTW it has two Marsland 12" inch speakers and its built like a tank. I should receive it this next week via DHL.. Any and all comments would be welcomed. I love to experiment wiht my cheap 6 string laps steel!! Thanks ya'all!!
