Boutique look, awesome all-tube performance.

The Traynor YCV40WR Custom Valve 40 Combo Amp is based on the extremely popular YCV40, which was a Guitar Player Editor's Pick Award Winner. Real tube overdrive is produced by 3 Sovtek 12AX7WA preamp tubes while 2 - 5881s deliver 40W of real tube power. A 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speaker faithfully renders all that sweet tube tone.

Wine-red leatherette, oatmeal grille, and chromeplated corners give this Traynor amp a rich boutique look. The 3 basic tones-clean, crunch, and overdrive-are easily defined, with great tone at low levels, shine and punch at full tilt.

Although signal-to-noise is not normally a specification that is discussed where guitar amplifiers are concerned, the ultraquiet Custom Valve 40WR makes it an issue. Auto-matching tube circuit and the DC filaments on the preamp tubes all but eliminate hum.

Traynor Custom Valve 40WR YCV40WR 40W All Tube 1x12 Combo Amp with Celestion Speaker Features:

• Auto-matching tube circuit maintains bias balance as tubes age, ensuring hum-free performance throughout tube life
• DC filaments on preamp tubes eliminate hum

• Classic Celestion Vintage 30 speaker

This is by far the most responsive and harmonicaly balanced amp I've owned for any price.When in the clean mode the clarity and pronounced sweetness has got to be heard to appreciate the purity of tone. Then you have the gain! Pure and thick with just the right amount of color and saturation. Couldn't buy a better amp for any amount.

The ycvwr 40 watt Traynor amp is one of the best amps for the money. Good clean tone as well as overdrive. I've had this amp for about three weeks and I really like it. Try it out...I think you will be impressed!!

I bough the YCV40WR when it first came out and hope it lasts forever! It sounds great, is very versatile, and is also built really tough. I've drug it around everywhere and never had problems. Especially with a low price, you cant beat it~
