New Traynor YBA 100!!

Sooooo an all tube Traynor with a sweepable mid control that’s roughly the same size and weight as my old 800RB?

I don’t need it I don’t need it I don’t need it I don’t need it I don’t need it I don’t need it.... I want it.
Yeah. Need is such a fiddly concept. WANT! is easy.

Mine is on order. It will pair well with my YBX1510 and my Boogie 410.
 
Any of these in the wild yet? I'm patiently waiting...
6 months since the announcement!
Could Covid have caused these delays or is Traynor using the same marketing strategy as GK and Ampeg...
Have got to hand it to Mesa. They don't make any advanced advertising claims yet continue to design and build new bass amps faster than the rest.

All documented in previous pages...

While there are a few of us working away, our focus has been prepping a ventilator for the COVID-19 pandemic. We're also trying to prep anything that's close to being ready for full 'production.' The YBA100 is already pretty much ready to go, pending the return of the manufacturing team.
The plant (with only a handful of staff) is concentrating on making ventilators for the time being. The YCV4050s (guitar) and YBA100s are 'in process.' PCBoards are almost done, the assembly line is waiting for other components, like metalwork etc., to begin. I've asked the supervisor to let me know when they begin assembly so I can take some in process picts!
UPDATE: We are currently producing the YCV4050 tube guitar amp, albeit slow... the YBA100 will be up next.

COVID. Traynor was making ventilators, which is far more worthy than amps. In any case, since we're entering stage 3, I'm jonesing for the amp now :)

Trust me, we don't have a marketing strategy. I've been working here for 32+ years and when COVID hit, it was the first time Yorkville EVER had to lay off our team. The factory is still not functioning as we have very few employees working, production is prioritized for ventilators.

Does Traynor test the ventilators by throwing them off a roof to test their durability? ;)

Throwing amps off the roof isn't a marketing strategy? I have been mislead! :laugh:

Really sorry to hear this.
Here's to hoping things get better quickly for you guys as well as everyone on the planet.
 
A thought I've had is that since there seems to be a trade war brewing between the US and Canada (thanks, arbitrary tariffs), Traynor could use this as an opportunity to produce an upscale line with better appointments and detailing. I bet that like the YBAMOD1, they'd be sold before they were finished.

Might be a bit big for a gig bag. But there will likely be any number of options for covers. I have found numerous suppliers for covers for my YBX1510 and they make covers for YBA 200s and 300s.

The Iron horse was a pretty big amp as well as the dual terror. Both had included gig bags. Always nice to get something in the box and not have to pay for a custom fit. Them again, no gigs for at least 6 months so guess I don't need to worry about cases hah.
