It was my favourite valve amp ever until I got a Stoneham YI-200. Half the power and half the weight. 😀 Is it called YI200 because they’re from Newcastle 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too expensive, I just think one cheap component needed replacing a phase inverter 🤷♂️. Certainly sounds louder than before. Beefier . Can’t wait to gig with it 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should sell it really, but dont' really want to. I was toying with the idea of selling mine but decided to get it serviced instead. I sent it to Ashdown where Guy there fixed a few bits and bobs, now I think I'll hang onto it as It sounds great. Like yourself I didn't really gig with it as much and used solid state amps, but when this is all over I intend to make it earn its keep.

bartelby Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I’m determined to get a band back together once it’s safer out there. My CTM-300 is desperate to be turned up loud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
