Could be worse. In 1792, the French experimented with decimal time. Had Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, George Washington et al been true revolutionaries, they would have adopted decimal time and metric ahead of everyone else.
They blew it when they didn't go with all that. There was actually some discussion of making Herbrew the official language of the new nation, just to be un-English. They didn't do that either.

Far more interesting obscure is that there are currently only 46 US states.

Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Massachusetts are Commonwealths

According to the ROC (Taiwan) the year is 107.

Herbrew, isn't that the official language of Amazonian Israel?
 
All fiction. If you are going that direction, current unix time is approximately 1515108269

Whoa

They’re just being uppity
 
One more rehearsal with the yba 200. Loudish band, but not as loud as Prayer Flags by a long shot. See anything odd?

I could play at semi loud volume with the input gain OFF. Completely off. It just lacked presence. Is that a thing with these amps?
Reset my gain for the right amount of presence, backed the treble down and it sounded perfect...until the guitar player kicks in, then it gets lost in the mix a bit. Sounds big, but undefined. During breakdowns, when the guitar player backs out, it sounds glorious. Really love it. Once he’s back in I lose definition in a way I’m unfamiliar with. Just can’t get it to cut through. I’ll keep chipping away at it!

A/B/Y pedal and a second amp that sits well in the mix… problem solved :D

As for the zero input thing… no clue.

I did say I'd check it ... and you're correct, gain on 0 doesn't completely strangle the signal.

I had one of those a few years back, it was great on it's own here at the house - it just wasn't enough horses for a show, kind of wish I had kept it. Mike Lull lent me his HiWatt DR103 for a couple weeks and I really did love it, wish I could have bought it from him but, it was a bit pricey. Thus I tried the Traynor.
 
I wish my local GC were smart enough to get a VP in. All this talk of thick necks has me wondering...
I'm not a very neck sensitive player. Fact is, I didn't notice any difference in width or thickness between the VP, my Goth or my anniversary bird. Reach to headstock yes, neck dimensions, not so much. Thats not to say there's no difference, but it just didn't jump out to me like it has to others. YMMV
