Hi,
Im basically searching for an amp that will deliever some heavy rhythm's and leads for shredding(dream theater,nevermore,sikth... etc).
I have 800 bucks.. i can find some mesa's second hand but the question is if this amp which is loaded with options that a mesa in that price would never have is comparable in terms of sound quality to the mesa.
I dont have the ability to hear it cause i live in israel - there are no traynor's here, and no mesa's as well.
Im planning on ordering and shipping one to israel cause from what ive heard its really what ive been looking for... the question is if its a low end amp like the carvin v3 or others or its in the pro league - i dont expect it to beat the invader or mesa roadking, i do expect it to be comparable to a rectoverb or peavey 6505,genz benz el diablo.
Thanks,
Trippled

I need to try out the YCS. badly.

i had a YCV80 and dug it, and dig YCV50's... this would be expected to be better then both of them.

true high gain w/ a traynor clean and im gold!
