Product Description for the Traynor YCS50 Custom Special 50 Guitar Combo

The Custom Special 50 is the ideal all tube combo for any player looking for maximum versatility in a compact package. Capable of operating in either a 50-watt Class-AB mode or a more manageable 15-watt pure Class-A mode the Custom Special 50 can easily deliver enough volume for the live stage in the 50-watt setting, or allow the player to find super saturated lead & blues tones in the 15-watt mode for club and studio gigs. Loaded with a proven single 12-inch Celestion Vintage30™ speaker in a solid plywood cabinet, the Custom Special 50 is a full two-channel amplifier with completely independent gain, and fully separate EQ’s for clean and lead channels.

Maximum versatility in the clean channel is ensured by the innovative Brit / USA channel voicing switch unique to the Traynor Custom Special Series. This USA / Brit switch actually relocates the tone stack relative to the gain stages in the clean channel, allowing the Custom Special series EQ section to respond with either a crisp ‘American’ style tube amp, for clarity and definition, or with a grittier, more ‘spongy’ ‘British’ flavor associated with the great UK amps of the 60s and 70s.

An Expander circuit that first appeared on Traynor’s popular Custom Valve 80 has been included on the Custom Special 50’s rhythm channel allowing the amp to deliver an almost acoustic-like tone when required.

The Custom Special 50’s lead channel offers more flexibility and a wider tone pallet than competitive tube amps in its class. Modern and Scoop switches offer the player a choice of ‘vintage’ tube drive or a more aggressive ‘scooped’ guitar tone. A solo boost level on the lead channel offers easy access to an additional gain stage, allowing the amp to deliver a clean, crunch and lead tone from the simple two-button footswitch (included).

Accutronics spring reverb, separate parallel effects loop with send and return for external side chain effects like chorus and delays, as well as an in-line loop through for EQ’s, Compressors or other effects, a master volume, Presence and Resonance controls are all included on the Custom Special 50.

As an additional feature the Presence and Resonance can be removed from the circuit with a simple touch of a switch on the front panel, shorting the signal path and delivering a truly vintage tube sound for the tone purist.

BEST AMP I HAVE EVER OWNED Review by JohnGlenn

Rating

I purchased my Traynor YCS-50 about 2 months ago and I couldn`t be happier. I was playing through a Marshall Haze 40 watt combo, and I had a Vox AD100VT-XL. Both are good amps but compared to the Traynor and it`s 3 12ax7 pre amp tubes and the the 2 EL 34 power tubes, well truthfully there is no comparison. From the over driven channel to the beautifully constructed clean channel, this is with out a doubt the finest guitar amp I have ever owned and I have had a bunch. (Posted on 1/27/11)

Tube wins over solid state Review by Gagnon

Rating

I\'ve been researching amps for the last month and yesterday I brought home my YCS50. I traded in my Line6 Spider III head and cabinet as well as the Line6 Shortboard and Spider IV 30 Watt amp.
Best decision ever! The tube sound is the sweetest. I read that if you could afford a tube amp then go for it. And once I break in the speaker and tubes a bit it\'ll be great. (Posted on 1/1/11)

Beats the Mesa Review by Lucas Geezer

Rating

I recently bought the YCS50 - I have been playing guitar 30 years and have had a lot of amps - after using this for less than a month I sold my Mesa Boogie Nomad because after listening to the Traynor there was no way I would bother with the Mesa again. The only feature missing is a \"solo\" button (its brother the YCS100H has one). (Posted on 10/24/10)
