Acoustic Master Series Characteristics

Effective simplicity and precise reproduction are two of the design criteria Yorkville Sound set for this new line of Traynor Acoustic Master amplifiers. Acoustic-electric guitarists and others will be pleased at the neutral response available with minimal control adjustments. Active filtering circuits allow effective tonal shaping with fewer knobs and switches so you get the sound you want quickly, easily and without feedback.

Inside, high-grade glass epoxy circuit boards, low-noise metal film resistors and jacks with gold plated contacts ensure quiet, reliable performance onstage or in-studio. Outside, you will find heavy-gauge metal speaker grilles, rugged plywood construction and distinctive Buggy Whip leatherette covering.

I have had this amp for a few years and have played it with my Yamaha LL16 with a Bags pickup in it and it sounded to me the best acoustic amp I have ever heard. I can dial up any sound I want for any song that needs a bit of effects. It shines with how much control over the sound the guitarist has. I recently bought the Epiphone EJ-200 SCE and wow does this amp rock. With having the options of two different picks ups and being able to run them both at the same time with different cables and have my amp with its individual channels and each channel has its own effects and controls you can dial in each one with what you want. The sound is absolutely bar none to my ears the best acoustic sound out there. Every one I play my set up to say how really good the sound is.. These two pieces of gear are made for each other..

I am very very picky about what sound I want to hear coming from my amp, acoustic or not. I have been looking for a certain sound for years with an acoustic set up. Well I finally found it and it was worth those years waiting to it. This amp does everything I would ever need to hear coming from it, emulating what my guitar sounds like, and does it to a tee. It has control quality and power to give me what I want. With this amp I do not settle for anything, I just need to dial it in. Can't say that about a lot of amps. Anywho give this one a try. I have a Yamaha LL16 ARE and my pick up is LG Baggs Lyric with a Diamond Compressor. Also have the Strymon Dig for extra sound. Happy happy camper...

This is follow-up to my previous review. I just bought a second one to run in stereo. This is the live sound I've been looking for over the years. Truly an amazing amp!! It's amazing this amp has not had more attention!! You will not be sorry.

I have also owned and/or played more acoustic amps than I care to mention. This is by far the best sounding of all the amps I've tried. It is extremely clear and warm sounding. The 4-level parametric EQ (with both low-mid and high-mid knobs) is a huge plus. The effects are so-so. I like the reverb and being able to dial in a longer decay, since I like long reverb. The other effects are fair. I wish there was a way to add stereo options...the only way is to own two and run them in stereo...but these amps are so good sounding and are so well built, two amps would not be bad. A real keeper. You will not be disappointed!!!!

This is the best acoustic amp I have ever owned or played....and I have owned or played more than I care to mention. Everything about this amp is first class...the sound, the looks, the features. Only minor drawback is that there is no option to attach another speaker cabinet. Other than that...flawless. This one is a keeper!!

I'm so fussy it's embarrassing. However this amp simply sounds great and has everything I need to perform. The tone is very neutral and both my guitars sound like they should. The FX are over kill, but who knows what I'll need or want tomorrow. I could have bought an AER but if i can support a Canadian Builder I would rather do that.

I rented one of these puppies recently and will save up to buy one! I was impressed with the overall warm tones you can get without that false preamp sound that most acoustic amps give you. I think the biggest compliment that you can give this amp is that it sounds really natural. I was also impressed with how clean the mic preamp was. There wasn't hiss that nasty hiss you get when you push a mic pre. It sounds like you should. It makes me want to play more. The one complaint I have is that you can't turn the effects off the guitar channel without also loosing our vocal effects.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
