I've been listing to Demo's of the blues breaker by Marshall on youtube lately and boy they sound freaking killer. I'm wondering if I should sell my Vintage traynor classic 40 watt all tube amp 2x10 for the bluesbreaker, Or would I be a dumb**** of all time by doing this?

[quote author=Arlabester link=topic=18032.msg221475#msg221475 date=1225396495] you wouldnt be able to get the bluesbreaker by selling it. [/quote]How much is the amp?
[quote author=Sgfreak101 link=topic=18032.msg221476#msg221476 date=1225397010] How much is the amp? [/quote] $2300 http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Marshall-1962-Bluesbreaker-Combo-Amp?sku=482795 You'd get maybe a quarter of that for your Traynor if you're lucky.
[quote author=Voxman link=topic=18032.msg221484#msg221484 date=1225417875] I say your closer rewiring the Traynor to a bluesbreaker than buying an actual reissue bluesbreaker [/quote]No kidding?
or consider trading in your traynor ycf40 for the traynor YCF50blue. I started off with the YCF40 and played it for about a year and then someone showed me the YCF50blue. I immediately sold off my 40 for the 50 watter. After selling off my amp, it only cost me about an extra $100 to upgrade and I am very happy with my ycf50. That traynor is alot of bang for the buck. Good chime on clean and nice mild distortion. It and my marshall dsl 50 head and I cover a pretty good amount of tonal ground.

[/quote] You might want to also run it by this Lady before you make your purchase. She has a good segment on her show called 'Can I Afford It?'.
Hey wait a minute. :evil5: Though back to topic, do these YCF50blues sound anything like a good tube driven Marshall? Is the Traynor a good amp? This YC50blues sound like the ticket.
She's pretty much stay in your trailer and hang on to every dime for investments or else your dumb! Lest your smart and make 250K a year, then you can spend a little money and have a life .... w/ hobbies ;D
Of all the Traynors I've played which is a couple including owning a YCV20WR for a couple of months, I think the YCV50Blue is the best sounding amp they make.

[/quote]Only reason I'm asking. Because when I hit the over drive button on my amp and my gain up to 7 It doesn't sound very GOOD at all but if I turn the gain down to say 3-2 and leave the over drive button on it sounds good. What could be wrong with it?

Thats just how non YCV50Blue Traynors sound. Thats what I hated about mine, the distortion sounded really harsh and thin.
