Unexpected NAD: 70s Yamaha YTA-95 2x12 combo

Post by Pacafeliz » Sat Sep 22, 2018 1:24 am

I really wasn't expecting or planning on buying yet another 2x12 solid state amp... or any other.
But when I saw this beauty FS locally I just had to go try it out.

Loved the über clean tones, twangy reverb and geez THE LOOKS. In immaculate shape. And it was real cheap.
Fits my recent MIJ obsession and makes the living room even nicer! ;D

I had been oogling them 80s g50 and g100 amps, but this beats them by a mile!!!
i love delay SO much ...that i procrastinate all the time.

Nice. How is it with pedals?

I'm a pretty big Yamaha nerd and I've never seen one of these before. Nice catch! Looks good.

Those SS from Yamaha are great, I had one and clean tones were top, they get on really well with pedals too. Congrats!

Exactly!
Been playing it a lot this weekend - it takes pedals real good, I must say.
But I like it clean the most, and I love the way one can individually adjust the dry and reverb volumes. Has 2 different Brilliant settings, one is more sparkly (a la jc120), the other one more bassy.

The wauwau is trippy too! ;D
