Traded my Mesa 5:50 today for this Traynor YCV50 Blue and Wine red Traynor 1x12 with casters and V30...
I decided to trade after playing through my buddies YCV80 2x12 and loving the cleans. This amp is the same but powered by EL-34s. The cleans great. Thick and full even on the high strings...No twang!! which I like alot. The spring reverb on this is to die for. With it up quite a bit I get this nice ambient verb clean that sounds killer. The stock V30 was replaced with an eminence legend which bummed me out at first but it seems to sound pretty good plus I have that 1x12 wine red cab with a v30 if I decide to switch them around. I have not attached the cab yet as the extension jack is kind of a b**** to get at (anyone know where it is exactly I can't see anything without taking the back panel off)
The cleans alone make this amp worth it as I liked my Mesa ALOT but the cleans were starting to get on my nerves. They were too thin and twangy which some may love but I did not and it seems that most Mesas I have owned have had those stiff twangy cleans.
I have not cranked out my pedals with this amp yet but will report back when I do.
Very excited about this amp. I know they are seen as the Traynor version of the Hot Rod Deluxes/Devilles but IMO I think they are bit better.. Maybe not as loud as the Fenders though.
Can't wait to crank this combo and cab next band rehearsal!!!:naughty:

I got the cab which is worth like maybe 200 used ? so I for sure lost out a couple hundred on this deal but to be honest I could not wait to get rid of the Mesa.. the cleans were killing me. I took my amp into the shop where I bought it to see if they would buy it off me for a decent amount but they were going to screw me on it.
