I've had these for a week now and I'm loving them. The YBA-1 was a classic Traynor amp that really rocked and this version incorporates some of the popular mods into this reissue version.
It has two channels and two volume controls which can be used in series with separate volume for each to blend them, or in parallel with a push-pull pot which makes the two controls into gain and master volume. It also comes with a built in attenuator that takes it from 40-20-5-1-0.1 watts. It sounds good even at TV volume when in parallel, with a decent crunch sound, while in series, it has some decent clean headroom, even at 0.1 Watts at home.
Of course, the 212 with Vintage 30s is a loud cab, but it sounds good in the short amount of time I've had it. Perhaps overkill for the apartment, where my YGL-1 does well, but it sounds great and will be a lot of fun when we move into a house. Also, if I ever get to playing a gig, I'd imagine this thing would rock at 20 or 40 watts.
Anyway, I snapped a quick shot of it set up in the corner.
