The Drunk Beaver Trainer TS-100 is Vitalii Bobrov's take on the Traynor TS-100, a 1970s solid-state 2x12 combo, offering a unique texture you can use as a preamp in front of your amp or in the effects loop.
The Trainer TS-100 offers tons of headroom and dynamics as it runs at 15V from a standard 9V supply, using two charge pumps for ~30V amplitude (Vitalii points out that a Klon achieves ~27V).
Bass, Mid, Treble Part of what makes the TS-100 circuit unique is the EQ section. Each band runs into its own pair of PNP transistors before being combined together. The result is a smooth rather than fuzzy bass distortion and a distinct clipping character.
Master Adjusts the output level
Bright Switch Just like the original amp, the bright switch allows the Trainer TS-100 to really cut through a heavy mix as well as making it more suitable for dark humbuckers.
Gain Adjusts the gain level
Boost The Boost footswitch kicks in an extra dollop of gain, giving a thicker, fuller sound.
I'll be away from my pedalboard over the festive period...but you can still browse!

Happy new year!
