Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Traynor dealer

The next installment for the new generation of Traynors is the Custom Valve 40T (YCV40T). Real tube overdrive is provided by 3 Sovtek 12AX7WA dual triode preamp tubes while real tube power is provided by 2 Sovtek 5881WXT beam power tubes. The internal gadgetry in this channel-switching amp provides good flexibility, but makes it very easy to get a great tone. The combination of the tube power and the 2 Celestion Tube 10 speakers is magical. The 3 basic tones (clean, crunch and overdrive) are easily defined. With great tone at low levels, and shine and punch at full-tilt, the Custom Valve 40T is already receiving rave reviews. Traynor challenges you to compare them to the competition. You'll love the tone and instantly recognize the value.

Although signal-to-noise is not normally a specification that is discussed where guitar amplifiers are concerned, the ultra-quiet Custom Valve 40T makes it an issue. Experienced professional users will appreciate the auto-matching tube circuit that maintains bias balance as tubes age ensuring hum-free performance. Also, the DC filaments on the preamp tubes that all but eliminate hum. Listen carefully. Although the YCV40T has a tremendous amount of gain it remains virtually hum-free.

The unique 'nouveau-retro' packaging of this amp makes it perfect for the leading edge or historical enthusiasts. Though the look is very fresh, the Custom Valve 40 stays true to the original Traynor line with black vinyl-covering, chrome plated corners, all plywood construction, and a classic front-mounted Traynor logo. The rear-mounted control panel is easy to access, yet recessed for protection. And the warranty? Yorkville's standard 2 year (even if you break it!) transferable warranty.* The one that made Traynor famous in the sixties.

* Warranty valid in Canada & United States only.
