Trainer TS-15 MK2
Embodying solid-state preamp, delivers authentic, dynamic distortion
Description
Trainer TS-15 MK2 is Traynor TS-15 (solid-state amp) preamp section in a pedal format. I've used an exact schematic of the original amp with a very cool distortion texture. The preamp runs at +-15V using a standard 9V power supply. The higher voltage provides more dynamics and headroom (approximately 30V amplitude, for example, Klon has approximately 27V). The preamp could be used before another amp or directly into the power amp section (for example, FX loop return input).
Controls
- Gain - the level of drive.
- Bass - controls the bass frequency response.
- Treble - controls the treble frequency response.
- Master - effect output level.
- EQ toggle - switches EQ between two revisions: ISS4 (same as our first version of TS-15) and ISS6 (less bassy)
- Input toggle - Low (-6dB) or Normal (0dB) input switch.
- LED brightness trimmer - placed on the PCB, the trimmer allows you to adjust the brightness of the status LED.
About the name
Traynor TS-15 solid-state unassuming combo was a popular small practice amp, and our pedal meticulously captures the unique character of its preamp circuit. We named it the "Trainer" as a nod to both the original's brand name and its role as an excellent tool for practice, delivering the distinct and gritty tones of the vintage TS-15 amp in a compact pedal format.
Power supply

⚠️ Warning: Do not use a power supply greater than 9V or you will damage the electronics. The pedal uses internal circuitry to run at a higher voltage.
