About Traynor YCV40

Enhance your musical performances with the Traynor YCV40 40W Tube Guitar Amplifier, a powerhouse of warm, rich tones that has stood the test of time in the realm of modern tube amplifiers. This iconic model is renowned for its powerful, reliable, and durable construction, delivering high-quality sound that resonates with both amateur and professional musicians alike.

The YCV40 is engineered with three 12AX7WA dual triode preamp tubes, which are the heart of its real tube overdrive, producing the classic warmth and dynamic response that tube enthusiasts crave. Complementing the preamp section, two robust 5881WXT beam power tubes drive the amplifier with up to 50 watts of pure tube power, ensuring your sound cuts through in any performance setting, from intimate gigs to larger venues.

Versatility is at the core of the YCV40's design, featuring a channel-switching mechanism that allows for seamless transitions between the amplifier's three fundamental tones: pristine clean, rich crunch, and saturated overdrive. Each tone is distinct and easily sculpted, providing a sonic palette that caters to a wide range of musical styles and preferences.

The magical pairing of tube amplification with a premium 12" Celestion speaker results in an auditory experience that is both enchanting and commanding. The YCV40 excels in delivering great tone at lower volumes while also offering the shine and punch required when cranked to full tilt. This balance of power and finesse has earned the Custom Valve 40 critical acclaim, including the prestigious Guitar Player magazine's Editor's Pick Award in 2001.

In an industry where the signal-to-noise ratio is often overlooked, the YCV40 sets itself apart with its ultra-quiet performance. The amplifier's innovative auto-matching tube circuit is a testament to its thoughtful design, maintaining bias balance as tubes naturally age, which ensures a hum-free experience even with significant gain levels.

The rear-mounted control panel of the YCV40 is thoughtfully recessed for protection while remaining easily accessible, allowing for quick adjustments during live performances or studio sessions. With its combination of classic tube warmth, powerful output, and user-friendly features, the Traynor YCV40 40W Tube Guitar Amplifier is an exceptional choice for guitarists seeking a reliable and versatile amplification solution.
