The Traynor YCS50, YCS50H and YCS90
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a new Traynor Custom Special guitar amplifier. It represents a
blend of the latest technology providing great flexibility and featuring vintage tube circuitry for
an ultimate tone and trouble free performance for years to come.
Designed by musicians, for musicians, Traynor Custom Special amplifiers are built for
maximum versatility but are still simple to operate. It's always easy to get a great tone
from a Traynor amp. With the Custom Special series, we made it even easier by adding
an array of tone sculpting options like Scoop, Bright and Modern voicing switches,
Resonance and Presence controls.
For greater flexibility, the amplifier's output stage can be operated in different power
modes. For example the YCS90 will operate in 90-watt (Class AB) mode that will produce
a full 90-watts of output power, used where maximum headroom is needed. For situations
where more tube warmth is required at lower volume levels, the YCS90 can be switched to
25-watt (Class A) mode. This is achieved by cutting the operating voltage to the output tubes
in half and automatically adjusting the bias level to operate in Class A mode. The YCS50
behaves similarly and can operate in 50 or 15 watts.
Please take a few moments to read this manual in order to gain maximum enjoyment
from your new Traynor Custom Special.
