OVERDRIVE- DRUNK BEAVER Trainer TS-15 (V.2)___NEW___Traynor TS-15 amp-in-a-Box

DRUNK BEAVER
Trainer TS-15  
$150.00 USD
Is it an unusual choice for the Ukraine company? This is based off of an 
old 15 watt solid state practice/studio amp made in Canada by Traynor. 
This company started in the mid 60's in the back of a store the now huge 
music store chain Long & McQuade. There is and has been a huge Ukraine community in Canada forever. I expect this connection ended up with 
amps being brought back to the home land. 
It is literally a dead on copy of the amps pre. It could not be a more 
faithful clone. The Layout is Volume, Bass and Gain. It has a 
switchable Low and Normal input. A toggle gives you a choice of normal 
or bright cap input levels. Add to that it runs on 9v but with an internal 
15v charge pump that gives it great amount of headroom.  
   CONCLUSION ___ 
It has a very chunky & punchy, transparent sound.
All very unusual for what was primarily sold as an
entry level or practice amp. Who describes their
first amp as punchy? With just 2x8"speakers too!!!
Even more unusual is a pre that can add a lot of  
life to a clean sound. This could well be the  
cheapest but best unintended gourmet Dumble 
like clean sound made.
