Wasn't really shopping around for another amp but an early '70's Traynor YGM-3 Guitar Mate Reverb amp showed up on the DC craigslist for $180. Couldn't resist. It's missing the faceplate and has a small tear on the grill cloth but sounds amazing.Tremelo/reverb, 20-25 watts of tube power. Yum Yum.

Good for you. Those things respond well to "special effects". Me and a buddy of mine both had Traynors about 100 years ago, and all by themselves they weren't much fun because they were so clean it was almost like they were hi-fi amps. We wanted to sound a little grungier, so they got flipped early. Ampegs used to be that way, too. But, if you like to play clean, need a lotta headroom or have some good effects, those things really shine with an amp like that. They're some high-quality designs and builds.
