Used but in excellent condition. Used mostly in smoke free home studio. Couple nicks in tolex. Sounds perfect! Gigged a handful of times. From the manufacturer:All-tube design and fully equippedThis North American built all-tube 200W bass amp head stays true to its vintage roots. The YBA200 is a fan-cooled 200W all-tube bass head powered by four Sovtek 6550WE power tubes amplifying the 2 Sovtek 12AX7A and one 12AU7 that make up the preamp section. In true Traynor tradition, there are no semiconductors in the signal path, glass epoxy circuit boards, solid plywood box construction, solid component selection and an all-metal chassis ensure years of unmatched reliability. Traynor covers the YBA200 with a 2-year unlimited warranty.Basic controls you'd expect to see appear on the front panel of any high-end bass amp include input gain, master volume control and a 3-band master EQ section. You'll also see innovative new tone shaping features like Scoop, 'Range', and 'Resonance'.The Scoop knob sweeps from a flat frequency response to a mid-frequency dip at 400 Hz and can be completely bypassed from a separate front panel on/off switch. The Range control shifts the overall tone shape and general tonal characteristics of the master EQ section of the amp.The unique Resonance Control, when used with a high quality and responsive loudspeaker enclosure, like the Traynor YBX1510, allows the player to dial in the exact bass response desired. It's easy to get any sound from a tight and punchy tone to a looser, more 'vintage-tube' sound with the Traynor YBA200. The Resonance control actually controls the damping factor of the amplifier's output stage, and allows the player to take full advantage of the tone of the loudspeaker enclosure.The use of toroidal transformers reduces the weight of the YBA200 to less than 41 pounds, much lighter than many other all-tube high-power bass amps in this class.The YBA200 has high and low level 1/4-inch inputs, a 1" tuner output with a switchable mute function that mutes the entire rig and kills the DI output when tuning. The front panel mounted XLR D.I. output has a one-touch ground lift, a 20dB pad and is switchable pre or post EQ.The Traynor Bass amps take their place among the vintage Traynor, with the familiar black vinyl covering and black metal corners, all plywood construction, and a classic front-mounted Traynor logo, just like on their guitar counterparts, the Traynor Custom Valve Series.Product SpecsCondition:Make:Model:Finish:Categories:Made In:Canada
