Anyone had any time messing with one of these monsters? The biggest trannys on any amp I've owned...bar none. Some of the best clean guitar sounds ever.

I haven't messed around with the yba-3 but I think they are akin to a simms-watts or a twin reverb. So stupidly clean until about 8-9 on the volume. I do know my yba-1 is one of the greatest amps ever, the extra iron makes the circuit really shine and it had a real nice marshally-fendery combination!

Just purchased my second yba-1 for $250 and a third yba-3 for $125 ...these things are the best! The iron in the custom specials are retarded in size. They will growl when throttled ,but my ears need a break. Also have a ygm -3 but something is up with that , not sure what. It is all original and does run the el84 's hard, but for $225 it was hard to pass up. I think last year I went nuts ... seven Traynors . All in less than $1800. I may need some help.
