New Traynor YBA 100!!

Do you play through the the Traynor 810? That is one of the Traynor cabs that I have never heard although I wondered about its sound.
No, I use a Traynor 1510.

I bet that is a beast! For a while I used a 12 & a 210 but am back in a 15 now. Of course wouldn't mind adding a 210 to the setup, but will probably add another 15 just like the one I am using.
Weighs less than a 210 and a 115 combined. About 85#.

The sound is fantastic and is plenty loud for everything I do.
 
It looks so precarious there, balanced atop that cabinet. Although a Traynor amp can easily survive a fall of 2 stories (about 4 meters), it would be a shame for your new amp to suffer that fate.

To that end then, I recommend you upgrade to a new cabinet.

This would not only provide a secure platform for your amp, but would also put all the controls near eye-level making adjustments very easy.
Well if you would rather me use a different cabinet would a Ampeg 810 or a Ampeg 212av work for you? The Traynor sounds very good through the 210av and sits stable on the plywood stand I have made for it, and my wife would not be happy with my 810 in the living room...

Your logic is irrefutable!

Two years ago I rented the YBA300 and matching 810 for a month, it sounded amazing. I imagine the YBA100 would sound equally amazing through the 810. I ended up with the V4B because I didn't need 300 watts, and went with the matching Ampeg 810 because, well, why not. Had the YBA100 existed at the time I probably would have gone with the YBA100 and Traynor 810 instead.
 
I still think it's a shame that Traynor discontinues the TC412. That was a great sounding cab that would have sounded awesome with this amp. My Fridge cabinet Paris really nicely with the YBA100
They make a lot of great stuff. The hard thing is figuring out what to keep making and I suppose they didn't sell too well. Big cabs are a niche market in a niche market, y'know?

Get divorced and you can have any amp you want in the living room. Just sayin...
 
I just picked one up, actually 2 weeks ago. Just getting around to posting it now!View attachment 3963208 View attachment 3963209 View attachment 3963210 View attachment 3963212 I rented it for a month just to check it out and it came from the store brand new still in the box. I seem to be liking it more and more each day and it sounds great with the Ampeg 210 AV.
I recently got the Traynor SB500 and have it paired with two of those Ampeg 210 AV. I sure don’t need the YBA 100 but dang I want one lol.

I picked up a used SB200 a few months ago. My Ampeg PF350 stopped working and I needed something while I was waiting on the YBA100. I only paid $200 for it, so I will keep it as a back up.
