Naw I was never talked out of one. I had actually asked Sam to check them out for me since he's up North, but then I found the awesome deal on this VR and I KNEW I wanted one of those.
I've heard great things about the YBA300 and love Traynor as a company. Unfortunately I experienced the same low volume issues you guys mentioned too. However I don't think that is par for the course for all Traynor gear.

Well I wouldn't call him my buddy. He was my amp tech in Baltimore. Super nice guy and amazing at what he does. He does repair work in a shop that shares space with a recording studio where Clutch, Wino, etc have all recorded.
So far it seems to be the answer to my V4B dreams. The v4 had this narrow sweet spot that would be at the edge of "loud enough" but if ya turned it up any it went totally into overdrive and put out spikes on hard notes that would overpush speakers.....the 100t has more volume before you hit overdrive and when you do hit it it goes in smoothly....it definitely has enough volume to crush speakers, and im guessing it will be just right. plus doing 2ohms means more cabs. I had it thru the 610 and 215 today and was shaking my house with clean. I eq it with mids at 10 (full) and bass and treble at 5. Its nice and full, throbbing, with plenty of bass. ("flat" on fender tone stacks is close to this). Wait til Sunday for a full report.
I was A/B ing it with my 300pro and could get the same level of stage volume I use. On the 300 the channel volumes stay about 3 with the master never over 4, and the 100t would have the channel volume at about 7 and the master at 7 and it was clean with just a little drive with the tubes biased normal...
And as you may realize the v4b gets more by far than the v4bh that has the same tube compliment as the 100t...so far im real impressed.

I have a '76 V4B and was just wondering like dimed out. I was really digging my v4 on channel one volume, bass, treble @ max and my mid at 2:00 with the high mid selected. Killing it sometimes I'll turn down a little.

Wow! On my v4b I couldnt take the channel volume over 11:30, bass about 1, mid and treble about noon without hurting speakers..
My 810 is "seasoned" . My bass might be at 3 or maxed can't remember off the top of my head. Nasty a$$ bass tone!!

Makes me wonder if your tubes are a little old and weak that you can get that...that kinda setting would have literally popped speakers out of the frame with mine....
And thats not a bad thing, especially if it lets you do more and different things with your amp.
Damn...im postin so much today you might as well call me Laz! ;-)

I bought it from the guys at Emperor Cabs, they told me it went to a shop and got checked out and had new power Tubes installed. When i got it, it was kinda wonky to later find out a pre tube got messed up in shipping. The amp may need caps but i know all the tubes are good. Maybe I'm just deaf.
So I'm thinking of working on the old ampeg svt cl. From all my trouble shooting it seems like I needs pre amp tubes. Any suggestions on tubes for a gnarly sound? I have Svetlana power tubes in it now
WOW, I've been gone 2 days and there was 5 pages!
Just saying hello from Orlando, FL. Down here with the fam for spring break. Going through bass withdrawals, I'll be back late Monday.
Continue the normal scheduled DOOM programming...

Just wanted to say hi to you gents, been on tb for awhile now. I dont post much, however I have recently become addicted to this thread so I figure I might as well become active in it. Currently working with a drummer, keyboardist, and guitarist. Way too early on for any kind of worthwhile recording to share. I hail from pittsburgh, well north of it actually but I live there for several years while attending the art institute. But enough about me, anyone heard the new mental architects single? The album was produced by aaron harris and so far its shaping up to be tight as hell.
Hell Yeah! You guys definitely have your own sound. I think that is super important in this genre.
