RE: Transformers, ideal plate loads, and real life results

I'm not sure what Pete Traynor was thinking. I don't want to harp on the man's work, but my close experience with two Traynor amps thus far has left me a little disappointed.

My YGL3 is kinda like a Fender Twin Reverb but again wired ridiculously with the bias feed into G3, which definitely dulls its sound. The first preamp stage is wired as a blackface Fender, while the 2nd is voiced like a Marshall. There's no negative feedback. Plus, just for fun, the reverb is recovered on an EL84...

Quite simply, this amp is out to lunch and all over the place!!! I'm thinking of unshackling/liberating my YGL3's G3 from the bias feed and see what happens...

May your tubes be lively, warm, and long-lasting. Holy be thy heater.
