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!

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

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.
