if you're competing with a 4x12 & 100 watt head guitar rig, a v4 is not gonna cut it if you're playing clean or a little dirty. if it's full on distorted, a v4 will serve you well. hell, i saw a band with a concert lead thru an 8x10 on bass and with the distortion cranked, it worked well. that band had two guitars as well.

also, i honestly didn't read the whole thread, but the traynor yab200 is a steal at like $500-600 new, 200 watts tube. sounds awesome, as well.

Wow. This is something I'd like to hear.

EDIT: Quick question...are you hard syncing the Freqboxes or are you just using them for some random noises or something?

well it changes alot...right now i have one syncing to my bass, the other one is self oscillating (i have the osc out pluging back into the audio input...it generates some very interesting sounds

some times i have both of the snycing

i really want the low pass filter and the cv processor......and the the pigtronix asdr compression pedal

V-4 on Ebay for $350:

I heard the only difference between V-4's and V-4B's is that the V-4B doesn't have reverb. Regardless, $350 is a great price.

And as a side note: if you decide to sell your TS-50B, please keep me posted.

Another vote for V4b. Or Acoustic 470. Either of these will do nice dirty or nice deep clean. I kind of think two 4x10's is excessive but, whatevs. Actually, how about one 4x10 on some kind of stand so it seems louder ? Just a thought. Cheaper too.
