bolero Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I know, I know.."shut up about those damned Traynor amps!!" heh but check this out...I was over at the LPF and a fellow posted an article/review of a vintage Traynor YRM-1 a friend I used to jam with had one, I can attest it sounded great with a Les Paul...makes sense now that I read this: " about the YRM-1 circuit : the front end is basically a single channel black-facereverb circuit, same reverb recovery mixing strategy with a 1Meg/100kratio in the Traynor instead of the 3.3Meg/220k ratio of the '63 FenderBlackface reverb channel ... the output stage has a black-facephase-driver circuit driving a duet of EL34's ... the amp is platecoupled front to back - no cathode followers; so, very much a Blackfaceamp running on EL34'" http://www.in2guitar.com/traynor.html just a headsup for any tone hounds looking for killer vintage gear on the cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm planning to build my Vibrolux Reverb so it can run EL34s as well as the usual 6L6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm planning to build my Vibrolux Reverb so it can run EL34s as well as the usual 6L6s. My Patriot was set up so that it can run EL34s or 6L6s. I have a set of EL34s on the shelf, just never plugged them in. Its just that the darn thing sounds so good with the 6L6s.

Steiner Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sounds like a cool toy Bolero. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franke Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This seems similar to my Swart. It's basically a tweed circuit with el34 and 5Y3 in it. Sounds killer. If this set up is anything similar it should sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Interesting - does it have a solid state rectifier? Another Patriot owner here. No, it has a tube recitifier. More magic from Paul Cochrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks EL34s have a higher draw for the heater filaments than 6L6s, I wondered whether the PT tap for the rectifier tube heater was being used...
