Permalink Apache

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

I recently got a Traynor YBA-1A MkII and decided to learn and record Apache as its maiden voyage. I wanted it raw and I think that's what I got.

This amp, for anyone unfamiliar, is 90 watts from just two 6CA7 power tubes and uses a fan to keep them comfy. It gets utterly stupid loud. I was wearing earplugs while reamping (my dirty little secret) and still had to jam my fingers in them. And that was with a volume a little over 2. I think most of the distortion heard on the lead was actually coming from my reverb unit in front, since I was feeding it a really hot signal from the DAW.

Anyway, Apache. And a Traynor amp. Both cool sounding things!

Nice. Waht guitar are you playing there?

Sounds like you could tear down the walls with that amp if you cranked it!
Nice playing.

Deal with reality, or reality will deal with you.

Edwardsand, I was playing a Vantage VP-790 with a Duesenberg Les Trem II.

Sounds great man. I like when Apache really drives like that

How do you like that Les Trem? I have one on an SG-X with a p-90. Not sure how much I like the trem. I wish it were more adjustable.

I think it's great. The amount of pitch variability is just right for my tastes. Not as sensitive as a strat vibrato but plenty of dive (or rise) for what I want to do. I guess I'd change the aesthetics a little if I were designing it but that's a fairly minor complaint.

Eventually I do want to swap to some roller saddles, though.
