They were manufactured in Canada - they got the nickname of ‘the Canadian Ampeg’ because they were every bit as rugged as the stuff St. Louis Music was making back then. Our local music store was a distributor, so quite a few local bands used their stuff.

I’m pretty sure that’s a newer one. The old ones were pretty non-descript, with black control panel and black Tolex. Same logo, though.

Traynor was really popular in the Twin Cities. The band I was in in the early 70’s had Ampeg amps with the big cabinets (I’m a drummer so I don’t know the details other than they were tall). I loved the sound of those amps. The Faces used those amps too.
