Traynor Guitar Mate Reverb
(1972)

Vintage tone with spring‑rich character.
The Traynor Guitar Mate Reverb is a classic all‑tube combo amp from the golden era of Canadian amp design. With its warm EL84‑driven sound, lush onboard spring reverb, and punchy response, it delivers rich, expressive tones that shine in blues, roots, classic rock, and intimate studio sessions. Its compact, player‑friendly design makes it a favorite at Rupert Street Recording when we’re chasing vibrant tube feel and organic texture.

While not always spotlighted on major label credits, the Traynor Guitar Mate and its siblings have been beloved by underground and alternative guitarists for decades—used live and in studio by players like Jesse Hughes (The Desert Sessions) to capture gritty yet warm tube tone that helps shape their records’ raw energy.
