YCV20WR

Traynor Custom Valve 20WR answers the need for guitar players looking for superior sounding all-tube tone in a smaller, yet still feature loaded, lower powered, more manageable amplifier package.

The Traynor Custom Valve 20WR is perfect for the studio or for any gig where 15 tube watts is more than enough power, but full functionality is required. Unlike competitive amplifiers in this class, the YCV20WR offers the discriminating player two discrete footswitchable channels with true independent gain and volume controls on each. A master three band EQ, effects loop (line output) as well as an internal spring reverb are all standard equipment. Additional controls include bright switch on the clean channel and boost switch on the lead channel.

The Traynor Custom Valve 20WR ensures clean quiet operation by borrowing the same DC Filament and regulated power supply design as used in its big brothers, the Custom Valve 40 and Custom Valve 80's. The YCV20WR is a "Class A" power amplifier driven by three 12AX7A's and two EL84's and features a Celestion "Greenback" G12M 12 speaker, for a truly classic tone.

The internal gadgetry in this channel switching amp provides good flexibility, but makes it very easy to get a great tone. We challenge you to compare us to the competition. You will love the tone and instantly recognize the value of this amp.

Features

The YCV20WR is very much the same internally as our already popular YCV20. But unlike our vintage looking Traynor Custom Valve series which feature black vinyl covering, we have added Wine Red Nubtex and oatmeal grille to the already standard chromeplated corners. This combined with the Celestion Greenback speaker help give the YCV20WR a rich "boutique" look, sound and feel. The rear mounted control panel is easy to access, yet recessed for protection... And of course they come with Yorkville's famous two-year (even if you break it!)* transferable warranty.

Specifications

Guitar Combos Series Overview

North American built all-tube Traynor guitar amplifier combos deliver maximum versatility and superior all tube tone. Careful attention to detail during the design stage and quality component selection during manufacturing ensures years of unmatched reliability and sonic versatility.

Traynor guitar combos are made with a solid plywood cabinet construction. We believe MDF (medium density fiberboard) or particleboard often used by other manufacturers can?t deliver great guitar tone or a long rattle-free life. A full metal grille under our grille cloths protect the Celestion? speakers. Heavy gauge all-metal box chassis protect electronic components in every model.

We?re so sure of the design and our manufacturing prowess that all Traynor guitar amplifiers are covered with a two-year unlimited warranty.*
