Hi, my name is Kirk and I bought the YCV50 about Three years ago. I changed the older valves for some EL34JJ's and ecc83JJ's and it worked great with no problems for about Two years until the other day. I was playing it at rehearsal so we couldn't be too loud, then it started making a banging noise and now gives me no more than a whisper with a hint of distortion. There is no sensitivity whatsoever and striking a chord gives a bit of a jump in volume but then decays rapidly! I have resoldered every contact I could find and cleaned out the contacts in the tube sockets. After that not working I then called Traynor and they suggested that it may be the output transformer. Any help or advice is much appreciated and thanks again for taking your time, K
I stepped up on the platform; a man gave me the news; he said "You must be joking son, where did you get those shoes?"
