Traynor YGM-3
Hand-Wired Reissue
Traynor Amps Take to the Stage at Lilith Fair
Toronto Ontario, July 26, 2010 -
Influential guitarist Luke Doucet is currently using a pair of hand wired Traynor
YGM3 all-tube vintage guitar amps as well as the all-new Traynor DarkHorse head and cabinet during his live sets with
Sarah McLachlan on the current Lilith Fair Tour.
"The Darkhorse is the perfect small rock & roll amp for me," says Luke just before hitting the stage at the Toronto stop on the tour. "The 6V6 setting is deceptively robust at 15 watts, and the 'Pure' setting 4 (bypassing the tone circuit) sounds like your guitar is plugged straight into your ear. Very transparent for a 'Master Volume' amp, which otherwise I tend to avoid."
"The YGM3 is the first amp I've played in years that doesn't simply emulate a classic but rather improves on a number of them" he says when asked about his choice in amplifier. "It's as if a blackface Deluxe and a Marshall cabinet had a little handwired baby...from Canada. The closed back cabinet gives the YGM3 a beautiful bottom end that is rare in an amp of thissize and wattage."
