New Traynor YBA 100!!

[Jeff Scott]

What do you think of the lighter knobs? Sure is easier for me to see...

They look great. Keep 'em.

 

[Leo was right]

Generally I like the lighter knobs like these on my YBA300.

Useful in low light condition.

The amp was sounding great at rehearsal the other night.

What do you think of the lighter knobs? Sure is easier for me to see, but I’m not sure if I like the look. May leave them on for a few days snd see if they grow on me.

I like the lighter knobs too. Good idea.
I find the knobs turn too easily, I made felt washers and put them behind the knobs.

Blacking out the transformer is on the pretty list. Im thinking of using some fishpaper (vulcanized fibre), painted matte black, as a curtain next to the transformer.

Did you black out the toroidal transformer?

Not blacked out, there's a similar band around the xformer, doesn't really bother me.

some O rings for tap (hardware store) are doing a great job, I like to keep my setting when I have a good one

I did it on my Mesa stuff which are very easy to turn, in the soft pouch it was always unsettled, easy fix.

I’m having one made by Tuki covers. The price was as much as a Gator bag but is sized to the amp. Should be here in about 10 days. I’ll post a report when it arrives.

The cover arrived today and it was just as I expected it to be. I have had Tuki covers in the past and I am very happy with it. It fits perfectly.

there's some gas right there!

Gary has made a lot of bags for me over the decades.

Mostly for various cabinets that are long gone, now, but I still have the one for my Markbass Minimark, and a custom bag he made for my former Eden WT400 (long gone) that has served as a bag for a Walter Woods amp (of several I've owned) and as a gig bag.

Welcome to Switzerland, cute little thing

Ah yes the fabled Tuki cover. I've got a few of them which I am quite fond of. The issue is getting them to Canada for a reasonable price. I look back and shake my head at how much I spent on my 212V covers. Not many options in Canada for custom covers. RIP D2F

 

[Roxbororob]

Not many options

For you Canadians out there ... CoverAmp made me a beautiful cover for my Traynor YBA100 head.

Have you tried them?

 

[Boy_Narf]

Yup, I'll be ordering from them for the next round.

Hi,
My YBA100 arrived yesterday. I changed the inside connector to 240AC (230AC as well) position. No big drama, just power on and start to play. Only information for that operation is in YBA100/300 schematic diagram ( I keep it little odd ).
Anyway you must change fuse and mark the new fuse size T2,5AL and what voltage unit is using now.
YBA100 is also beautiful from inside. For my ears the sound is rich and full compared to D-class units.

Heyy Tuomo, my YBA100 came already prepped for Europe, I ordered from Long & McQuade directly.

Thanks Tuomo, for getting back on this. Glad it was that easy for you, enjoy the amp!

Hey Fuzzonaut, we could meet to compare our Life pedals and you could check out my YBA100 if you want, my rehearsalroom is in Winterthur ...

Is it the 1st one in Europe ?

So me is the second to has one?? My preciousss!

Cheers Bassic-Amigo

Just pulled the trigger on Reverb. I am am thinking of matching it up with my Fender Bassman pro Neo 115 and I also have a 4ohm EA Wizzy 112 that should work well. Anyone have experience with the YBA100 and either of those cabs?

Thank you for supporting Canada business...we need it...I trust Long and McQuade treat you well.

Very well, it was a nice and easy contact, would recommend them immediately!

How much was the shipping plus customs/taxes? Thank you.

 

[jobu3]

Anyone happen to try one with a GK Neo cab?

 

[SVTII]

Dunno, but will check the papers ...
