EW Traynor YVM head
Howdy all,  
I just pulled my old Traynor Voicemaster out of the attic. Its an el34 based pa head. I was curious if this could be converted to a guitar head. And how involved a project would this be?  
Thanks EW

I saw one of those in a store the other day,  
excellent material for a guitar amp, not  
that difficult a conversion, leave all the hardware  
in place and just change parts on the eyelet  
board (and possibly pots).

Run it as is, it's fine if you don't overdrive the input. Straight guitar with no boost should be OK. Bass will overdrive it.  
 
You may wish to pull out the redundant 12AX7 from the other unused channels (a 12AX7 for each two channels)to reduce the residual noise level.
