YGL1 15watt Tube Guitar Amp Ltd Edition in Tweed Covering
 This product is no longer available.
Only a small number of these outstanding Class A guitar combos are being made with vintage tweed covering and a super-sweet Celestion T5172 Rocket 50 12-inch speaker.

Details:

The Traynor YGL1 15-watt all-tube 1x12 combo is the ideal 'tone monster' combo for stage and studio.

Easy to Find Your Sound
Simple Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble and Master controls make it easy to dial in that perfect tube sound. The three-stage mode switch makes the YGL1 one of the most versatile small combos in this class.

USA / Brit / Pure Modes
The mode switch relocates the tone stack relative to the gain stage, giving the YGL1 either a crisp 'American' style tube amp tone for clarity and definition (USA mode) or a grittier, more 'spongy' 'British' flavor associated with the great UK amps of the 60s and 70s ( Brit mode).

The third option is a "Pure" mode which bypasses the tone stack entirely, delivering a mid and overall gain boost allowing for the most direct signal path possible between your fingers and the speaker.

Built for Reliability
The Traynor YGL1 is made in Canada using solid plywood cabinet construction, a single Celestion T5172 speaker, heavy gauge steel chassis, high quality pots and jacks and is covered by Yorkville Sound's two-year unlimited warranty*.

Tried one out a year ago while both my boys where buying amps for themselves. I was quite impressed with the Traynor YGL-1, made in Canada. It would have been the one I would have bought. One of the boys purchased a Vox AC15C1, the other a Fender Bassbreaker15. About 6 moths later, I picked up a used Hughs & Kettner Tubemeister18 combo. I built a custom cab & installed an Eminence Red White & Blues. Nice combo, 28lbs. Still interested in the Traynor, I found this Tweed version used on Kijiji. The original Red Ruby speaker was replaced with a Celestion Greenback & came with a dual footswitch. I decided to jump on it. Love the sounds that come out of this amp. Very loud & open sounding for a 15 watt, much more punch than the H&K. The reverbe is unbelievable, for digital. About 5 times more than my H&K, quite a bit more then the Bassbreaker. Run on 2, is quite nice, after that you can surf on huge waves up to 10. The boost with the foot pedal is very nice, also reverb defeat. Nice crunch, great on the Brit mode. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a 15 watt combo. A bit cheaper then others in it's class, great value. Moodivarius from Dryden, ON.

I needed something louder than my old champ but lighter than my twin reverb. Portable enough to move but loud enough to keep up with the band. Also, not too expensive! This amp was perfect. It sounds fantastic, it is not too heavy or large, it has a great tube sound and can take pedals well, and I got it at a great price with the added bonus with a nice vintage tweed look.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
