Your right Kim Mitchell is one of my top guitar players. I have been talking to some guys who have Traynor amps , they really dig them. One guy I was talking with, I forget which model he said he had, he told me he hasn't found anything out there that sounds as good to him. I like this YGL1 just been checking them out, I haven't had the opportunity to try one out yet. But I like what I hear through headphones from the demos.
