Traynor T10/G

Well this litle amp came from ny dearly departed uncle BOB. He was a classical gutairist, so I didn't give it much thought. One boring Saterday, I plugged it in. The gain knob was welded off due to the formentioned usage. After I broke out the channel locks(not really, but almost) and got it to turn, I plugged in. Lo Mid and Hi tones, gain Vol. Wish it had an out or two, and perhaps a foot swithch. But all in all, this 'little' 20 watter is a blast. Mic'd it's good in a studio setting.

I play a lot of different types of music with my Gibson Les Paul, and Ibenez rd-550. I had to raise my eyebrows from what I heard. Not bad at all. Clean and guttsy, to screaming metal. For a practice amp, it has a good sound. The tones are good. Where's the foot switch???

All I can say is thing is built as solid as a rock. Solid as my Roland Cubes. The knobs stick out so could be rubbed off if it rolled down the stairs. But I'll bet you could hold up an old Pick-up truck without breaking. Also,it has been totally up to snuff since I broke the gain control free. It is in a studio as I type this with a few tracks done using it. Not bad at all.

No contact with the Co.

I own several amps. 65 Fender Bassman head. Roland cube 40 and 100, Fender Champ(another tone monster), Fender Bassman 135, Peavy, ect. I play Blues, Classic and new rock. What I like is the small package. Plug and play. Grung to glass. The cube 40 isn't as versital tone wise as this. It weighs almost what the Cube 40 does. Wish? Well footswitch. The rest comes from my prossessor. Recommended for a young player as the tones can come without pedals and such. Pretty sure I wouldn't run out and buy another one if it blew up, but I would get one from a garage sale, flea market without worries.

Pretty standard fare solid-state practice amp. Single channel with gain and volume, 3-band equalizer, headphone output (wooo!). The equalizer is a bit uneven sometimes, but it has a huge effect on my sound. I can go from blues to metal to punk with just a few flicks. Chorus or reverb would be nice, but it's nice as it is. As I said, it's a practice amp, so I practice with it. In reality, you could play second guitar against drums with this thing. It's supposed to be 10 watts, but the speaker can handle 20w and the head can take 40w, so it's actually got a lot more punch in it than you'd think.

I play this with an Ibanez GSA20 and a Yamaha EG112 (Strat-rip with a humbucker in the back). I only ever use humbuckers on this, because I hate single-coils. This amp has a lot of tonal versatility, and I can play literally anything on it, though nothing perfectly. I once turned the settings to an acoustic simulater type of thing, then flicked it around a bit and started playing Metallica. It's amazing how much the EQ can affect your tone. Speaking of which, this sounds like a Fender with slightly meaner distortion. With the gain knob down low, the volume will start to distort at around 8, but I've never really played it higher than 7 with a little gain. The distortion can be absolutely disgusting or completely nonexistant. I made me guitar sound like a distorted keyboard at full gain, once. All in all, versatile, but nothing sounds really great.

This thing has to be made out of concrete. I threw it across the street because the gain knob kept wobbling, but there wasn't a scratch on it. It's not built for gigging, but I probably could without a backup if it was a small enough room. The gain knob is wobbly because I kicked it as a poor excuse for a footswitch, but I just glued it back in. Rock solid.

N/A

I've been playing for about 6 months, and also own (sort of) a Rocktek 15G. I've tried out a Fender Frontman 15R and a Peavey something-or-other, and my Traynor wins out on versatility alone. If it were stolen, I'd probably get a bigger Traynor with similar features, since I already have another practice amp. In the end, this amp is perfect for anyone looking for a portable practice amp with Fender-rivalling tones, or just anyone starting out. It's a bit hard to find, though.

This is a good solid-state amp, which has great tone for practicing at a price any can afford. A volume, gain, high, mid and low dial fill the control panel which allows you to create many tones for many different types of music.

I'm using this with a modified Washburn Tele copy, with Lace Sensors in the bridge position. The gain dial unforuntently doesn't provide a variety of distortion levels, but at full gain, it sounds great, and clean it sounds bright and clear at all volumes. Also, for it's size, it's quite loud.

The speaker and components have worked fine for the 2 years which i have owned this amp, the only problem is, after stepping on the guitar cable, I ripped out the input jack, and i've had to replace it. A stronger chassis would be appreciated.

I've been playing for about 6 years now. Besides that amp I own a Marshall Valvestate 8080, and a couple guitars. This amp is great for practicing, because of the headphones!, and provides great tones for smaller rooms. I would definently buy this amp again if i lost it, simply for practicing.

PLEASE IGNORE THE OTHER SUBMISSION IT IS WRONG!!!!! this amp is max.20w not 10w its pretty basic gain,vol.,high,mid,low and a handy headphone jack you can get awesome fuzz when using the headphones

i play metal,blues,punk,ska and this suits my needs it has no reverb which is a lost but it makes a reverberation after strumming a chord

rumor has it that peter traynor used to throw his amps out of a 2 story apartment for testing and i bet this could take it i can stand on it sit on it and much more

i emailed to get a new one

i love this thing please contact me for more info on it if you wish
IF ANYBODY HAS ONE AND DOESNT WANT IT ANYMORE I WILL BUY IT OFF OF YOU IN A HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!!

This is a 10 watt solid-state practice amp, with a 5 inch speaker. It has an input jack (imagine if they left that out!) and a headphone output jack. It has controls for gain, volume, mids, lows, and highs. It's pretty basic, only a single channel, no overdrive - but it does distort rather quickly.

I use this amp with a Marlin Les Paul copy. I play mainly blues and blues/rock. This amp is OK for practicing but for not much else. As I said before it distorts rather quickly, and does not have any reverb (although it has this cool quirk about it where it has this neat mechanical reverberation sound after you strike a chord). The gain knob seems to do nothing. But for a practice amp this thing is great, it's actually pretty loud for 10 watts! My brother uses it to practice his keyboard with, and it sounds a lot better with a keyboard.

This amp was bought used, and wasn't in the best of conditions but it's still chugging along! It's Canadian made so there should be absolutely no problems here! My brother gigs using this amp with no backup at all.

Bought it used... besides Traynor is long gone!

A very good practice amp. I also own a Marshall Valvestate 8080. If my Traynor disappeared I'd get another in a heartbeat, I love to use this thing while practicing, plus the headphone jack is a real plus (I wish my Marshall had one!). I wish this amp had a reverb tank. A Overdrive channel would be nice, but a cheap stomp box would probably be cheaper than adding a new channel.
