It's a small solid state practice amp, not much but has a clean and distorted channel. Each channel has it's own gain and volume knob. Along with that is high, mid, and low knobs. Wish it had some reverb. This thing was made in Korea which I find quite odd, but the traynor and yorkville logo are still on it. In fact, it's the old style traynor logo that looks like his signature. It's 30 watts and has a tiny little speaker that manages to do the job.

I use a lot of odd guitars, univox hi-flyer, mansfield jazzmaster, and a cheapo aria pro II strat. It sounds best with the hi-flyer pickups for distortion. Oh ya, the distortion on this thing is WACKO. I couldn't beleive it, it's like the most raw distortion I've heard, like those sears amps. Gets pretty fuzzy with high way up and the guitar tone down all the way. I was really into grunge when I got it and oh man did I love it. I'm gonna use it as a guitar track when i record since it's so unique. The clean channel it really dark and dry, which is cool in itself but to anyone else it would sound like crap. The distortion channel deserves an 9 but the clean channel brings the amp down to a 6.

Well I haven't had any problems. Feedbacks with mt jazzmaster but the pickups I have with that guitar feedback like a banshee no matter what amp I use.

I've had this for about three years, I now use a shitty peavey bandit. I'm trying to get a traynor bassmaster but I can't find one under 200watts here in Ottawa. If it was stolen I would break down and cry since I may never see one of these again. I LOOOVE this amp. That distortion will sound great in a studio. Although the distortion is only good for really raw sounds and it gets hard to pick notes in a chord and hear all of them. But Oh man do those harmonics shine. I compared it to other peavey solid state practice amps and they all sucked really bad, sure the clean channel was smooth and it had reverb but I didn't want the same sound as every stupid beginner guitarist on my block. This amp is my way of saying fuck you to all the regular guitar amp sound.
