Trainer TS-15 MK2

The Trainer TS-15 MK2 is a preamp pedal based on the preamp section of the vintage Traynor TS-15 solid-state amplifier. Using the original amp schematic as its foundation, it recreates the distinctive distortion texture and response of the original design in a compact pedal format. Internally, the circuit operates at ±15V while powered by a standard 9V supply, providing increased headroom, stronger dynamics, and improved signal clarity compared to many standard overdrive pedals. The TS-15 MK2 can be used as a standalone preamp into a power amp or effects loop return, or placed in front of another amplifier for additional coloration and drive. Its solid-state design delivers a unique distortion character with strong articulation and wide dynamic range.
