traynor YGL-3

Post by Oyster Boy » Thu Jul 19, 2007 11:17 pm

Does anyonw know about this amp? The traynor YGL-3 (also called the mark 3 I think)

I'm thinking this might be a nice amp to track down, but you fine folks are the experts, so I wanted to see what you think.

I don't know that particular model, but my own 1970's Traynor Reverb Master (YRM-1) is an amazing, warm-sounding, and very reliable amp.

You may want to read around this thread:

And this seems to be the best resource on vintage Traynor amps on the net:

I've seen quite a few of them over the years. Never really played them though. They're basically Traynor's answer to the Twin Reverb. Not sure how much they compare, tone-wise

This was Canada’s answer to the Fender Twin Reverb. Great for anyone looking for that great vintage tube tone, but doesn't want to drop the coin for a vintage Fender.
