I've got a 1965 YBA-1 (with the tube rectifier)
and a 1969(71?) YBA-2A

The YBA-2A is a fun little amp, but it sounds really muddy, and doesn't distort well at all. I bought it for $100 and considered it an investment for ebay. Throwing a pedal in front of it improves it a bit, I may just get it ...

So I was warming up my bassmaster and while it was on standby I jumpered the bottom input on channel I with the top input on channel II (I have done this befor with no problem) My patch cord was in the top input on Channel I and not plugged into my gutiar yet.

awesome, thanks for that info. I agree with what you said about marauders in the first place.

hrmm, nope still there. It's like this metallic buzzing sound at high volumes, really hard to explain, arg.

3 hours later and a couple stupid mistakes on my part and I have this thing rewired back to stock ... I go to power it up to test it out, and I notice one of the preamp tubes isn't lighting up .. I swap the tubes.. bad tube *arg* although I'm sure I tested it in the past with good tubes.
anyhow ...
