The Drunk Beaver Trainer TS-15 Mk2 is Vitalii Bobrov's take on the Traynor TS-15, a punchy solid-state 2x8 combo from Canada.
Offering a unique sound and texture, this preamp works great in front of your amp or in the effects loop and gives out authentic Punk, Grunge and Garage Rock vibes, raw around the edges and with plenty of energy.
The Trainer TS-15 offers tons of headroom and great 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!).
Try stacking this with an overdrive or distortion for some really great sounds!
The key improvements over the Mk1 are the inclusion of 2 toggle switches:
EQ The EQ toggle switches between the tone stacks of 2 different revisions of the original amp. ISS4 has a bit more low-end weight and is the same revision the Mk1 TS-15 was based on, while ISS6 is a bit tighter and brighter, with a slightly lower-frequency mid-scoop.
Input Select between Low (-6dB) or Normal (0dB) input.
"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."
