The tinnitus thread. Show your 810s!

Edword, that is nuts!! What is that??

 

Nice rig. And really nice pair of Bongo fours...

Of course, strictly speaking, tinnitus is much more typically caused by high frequencies than by lows...

Looks like an oldschool Traynor 8x10 to me.

 

What the ham?!?

 

Gosh, I haven't seen one of those since the 70's. I had one with a yba-3 head. Great sound but I couldn't keep power tubes in the head.

 

Old Traynor 810 cab from the seventies....Death From Above 1979 bassist uses one (or two?) of these along with some rediculously high-powered solid state heads to get his unique distorted tone. I want one now.

 

There may still be a YC-610 at GC in Glen Burnie. The cones are torn or dry rotted though.

 

Traynor YC-810. I got it to use with my Traynor YBA-3.

 

Have you had any trouble keeping power tubes in the head?

 

Haven't had a problem with tubes. The amp has been modified to use 6550s, and it's been reliable so far. It's got the same tubes I got it with in 2004.

 

Ahh, 6550's instead of EL34's. Probably doesn't have the same grit as the original tubes though.

 

Dang!

 

That's true, it's about as hi-fi sounding as a tube amp that old can be. It has to be turned way up before you get any kind of grind.

 

Here's my 8x10...
