Torn on whether to get a Traynor YGM 4 studio mate listed locally for $525. That seems standard price, or maybe a bit lower?

Who wouldn't like getting a slight deal on a good amp?

I too would like to learn this power. Nothing like buying Yet Another Overdrive Pedal going for cheap on Reverb, trying it out and realizing something you already own not only beats it but gives you exactly what you were looking for in the first place.

If your practice space is more storage than practice, I think that's the tipping point......

Solution: only buy expensive gear.

It is like walking past a joker poker slot when there is a game with a really dirt cheap bet where you won't stand to lose that much money.

You just gotta do it.
