It is unfortunate that so many things are designed to be disposed of once they stop working. One of my attractions of the YBA100 is the ability to service it to keep it running as well as the day it rolled out of the factory.

Obviously PtP wired amps are going to be better in that regard -- no PCB to crack or whatever -- but still a traceable easily repairable circuit rather than Class D necromancy.
 
I can say no more lest we move down the path of Laurentian politics. And that would be exceptionally confusing to our American friends who have enough trouble with the metric system...

I'll have a Royale with cheese,
We used to hang out with some of the players on a minor league hockey team in West Palm Beach. During that time we determined that Quebecois either can't spell or can't speak-or perhaps both.
 
These words he speaks are true.
We're all humanary stew,
If we don't pledge allegience to,
The Black Widow!

Chuck posted a pic on Facebook earlier showing off his quarantine beard. Also in the picture was what looked like a silver sparkle Epi VP. At least the hardware makes it look like a VP.

more power when in overdrive? how? where are those extra watts being accessed from? if anything, when in compression you'll get less power..
as far as cabs, don't think I've ever seen a closed back tube combo...

Power is described as "area under the curve" (among other things). When you move from sine toward square waves, you end up with more area under the curve. From a perceived volume standpoint, I finally decided it's because when the speaker cone is in motion, it's accelerating harder (in whichever direction), so it pushes the air harder, even though it's effectively resting more in the interim between the back and forth.
 
Oh great, I Thought I was on a Bass website, but now it looks like I'm on a Bass website.
BTW - who's bright idea was it to spell those two words the same!

We live near Sam Bass (like the fish) Road. Google Maps must like me, because she always pronounces it Sam Bass (like the THUNDERBIRD) Road.
