Selling a very nice Traynor YSR-1 all tube, 50 watt head from the early 70's.


This head has four inputs, controls for treble and bass along with speed and intensity for the tremolo and a control for the reverb. There are jacks in the back to connect foot switches to turn the reverb and tremolo on and off.


This amp is very clean for it's age and sounds incredible. Nice clean tones and nice growl when the volume is pushed. You can jump the channels for even more "growl" just like an old plexi. Very similar to the vintage Marshall heads of the time.


Amp is powered by two EL34 tubes (Groove Tubes installed) and five 12AX7's (all Philips tubes)


Aside from a three prong grounded power cable that was added for safety the amp is all stock. All controls turn smooth and are noise free.


This is a very nice looking amp that sounds incredible and is functioning as it should. It's getting harder and harder to find clean, working vintage amps like this in this price range these days.


Asking $500 or best offer.


Thanks for looking!

Just saw this posted on AK, great amp Brother. If I was looking for another tube amp, I would not hesitate getting an old Traynor

VERY nice! Those old Traynors sound great and they're hard to find, especially all original. If I needed another head I'd be all over this one. Great price too.
