Amplifier Discussion / Traynor TS-15 Mods
December 17, 2023, 05:58:38 PM
I got another Traynor TS-15 so I can rebuild one and keep playing the other.

I have a few questions. First off the amp is very dark, boxy and has some low end boom that I don't like.

1. Would reducing the 100nF cap at the input down to 68nF reduce bass going into the amp?
Traynor did make this change on later/larger amps in this series.

2. The entire preamp seems to be an opamp boost pedal with a tone stack on the end.
What effect would changing the 47pF gain pot bypass cap have?

3. What does the 270nF cap in the power section do? How about the 47nF cap?
Other Traynor amps in the TS series have the 47nF cap but none of the other designs have a cap in the same position as the 270nF cap.

4. Would changing the opamp to OPA134 have any noticeable affect on the sound?

Thank you in advance for any help.

That for the help everyone - I appreciate it. I will get some shopping done this weekend. Sayle Electronics should have everything I need.

I am totally new to amp modding and pedal building. I have two amps that I want to mod and some veroboard layout of pedals  I want to build.

I just need the gear to get started. I need suggestions for a multimeter and a soldering station. I do want the most expensive stuff out there - just good bang for the buck gear that will last.
