External Speaker Jack/s
20
These under-the-chassis mounted 1/4 inch jacks allow convenient connection of an
8-ohm external speaker cabinet. If you disconnect the internal 12 inch Celestion®
speaker, you can connect up to two 8-ohm external cabinets.
Replacement Tube Selection & Bias
This amplifier features Yorkville's auto-balancing / auto-matching tube biasing technology.
As a result, when the time comes to replace the tubes in your Yorkville amplifier, there is no
need to pay a premium for a matched set – nor does the bias need to be adjusted when you
use a different brand. We make no claims as to which brands of tubes might sound best,
but with auto-balancing / auto-matching, you are free to experiment without any need for
concern that the amplifier or tubes will be distressed. Please note that auto-balancing / auto
matching cannot fully compensate for different types of tubes - 6L6/5881s versus 6CA7/
EL34s, for example.
Please note that although auto-balancing / auto matching allows you the freedom to select
unmatched tubes from a variety of manufacturers, it may not be able to fully compensate for
the use of a non-equivalent model or part number of tube – 6L6/5881s versus 6CA7/EL34s, for
example. Use of non-equivalent tubes may result in unpredictable performance.

Do you have a question about the Custom Valve YCV50 and is the answer not in the manual?

Are all three preamp tubes the same? Was told one is wired differently than the others. When replacing one, should you replace the one closest to the output tubes?

Yes, all three preamp tubes in the Traynor Custom Valve YCV50 are 12AX7 tubes. If replacing tubes, ensure to disconnect power first. The document does not specify whether the tube closest to the output tubes should be replaced.
