Back with a new tube amp

Heh a pedal
I sometimes use my Hydra as extra gainstage into my Plexi, gives a special sound I really like.
Plus the Hydra also sounds great pushing a cranked amp even further.
And you can turn down the volume and the top is not gone, works like that through the Plexi as well.

I tried to hear it but I keep getting an error. To bad because I'd really like to hear that Traynor amp.

Re: Back with a new tube amp

Well, honestly Marinblues, it is a decent amp but it has EL84 tubes. I don't know much about tubes, but I already know that an amp with 2 EL84 is not for me (too little gain, and farty). It may be a great choice for someone who plays only clean or low gain stuff, but I was looking for an amp that allowed me to play stuff like early Kiss (73-77), Led Zep, AC/DC, Aerosmith and the likes (my personal music is higher gain also). The YCV40 is perfect for that. The YCV20 needs a pedal to get those sounds. I wanted to have a pedal only for really hi gain stuff, like EVH-type of lead, which can be achieved with a booster (simple overdrive pedal) in the lead channel. The last thing I wanted was to have to rely on a pedal for high gain stuff (like a "hunky" Metal Zone).

So the YCV40 is better for that and quite honestly, the clean sound of the YCV20 is poor in comparison.

Basically, I prefer to have an amp that is a little overpowered but great sounding, than an amp with lower power that doesn't satisfy me. I've had too many unsatisfying amp already

thanks Sly.

My pleasure Marineblues... if you have any questions about the YCV40, just drop me a line. It's an amazing amp!
