Rickenbacker Meets Traynor

Dan, in addition to extra weight there are some positive sound differences, they sound thicker and disperse the sound better than a single 12 will.

Is Traynor still in business? I say this, because I don't ever see any of these amps.
I just found out that Trayor is about 1/2 hour away from me.
If they are still in business, maybe I can get a job there!!!

Look for Yorkville Sound, Rob. The YCV40 is an outstanding amplifier.

Anybody here used any Carvin amps? PA's?

They seem to have good spec's, and they're offered at good prices.

David, I have tried the Ei ECC83 and it now resides in one of my Kustom Tube 12 amps. An NOS 12AY7 was also tried and works well if you need less gain and do not rely on high gain sustain in your music. An E-H 5751 has a little more gain if the 12AY7 is just a bit weak on gain. An E-H 12AX7 is in my other Tube 12 for it's more aggressive character. The JJ ECC83S is also a real winner in the Tube 12, and it's the tube I chose for my Traynor YCV40. The Chinese 12AX7 is a really rough sounding tube on the gain channel on the Tube 12, and only heavy metal players seemed to like it on the Harmony Central Tube 12 reviews. I hate the Chinese 12AX7.
