For the first time i got to "crank it"...instead of volume 1 for the bedroom, i actually got to put it to volumes 3-5
i use the ts9 for a push and when i did it was all trebly and gross and then i realized i didnt need a push!
the clean channel is just fucking spectacular at those high volumes
the overdrive is just what i want and theres a boost that is just great that the ts9 doesnt do...but then again when do i get crank it?
under the low volumes my Strat sounds so much better than the sg, but at higher volumes it was the other way around
i know ive said this...but this amp is truely MY amp

That amp and mine sound their best at cranked volumes. I never really appreciated mine until I put her up at about 7 in a large concert hall. I just strummed one chord and then went insane with Eruption back when I used to play it.
That was awesome.
I find the boost function on the Traynor amps only really sounds good when it's loud. Otherwise it's my SD-1 as boost.
yeah at lower volumes its just very bassy
i feel bad though that 90% of the time im playing in my bedroom and i cant crank it unless neighbors are gone and people are out of th ehouse (which is rare)
nothing like playing loud. nothing.

Thats cool. glad you got to spank the ass off your amp. it's a great feeling to have them loud. i recently got my Vintage Carlsbro 60 watt Amp up to about 8 - 9 for the 1st time and it was like a fuckin earthquake in the rehersal room. bearing in mind i have a matching 4x12 to boot. at normal levels its ok, very clean, turn it up with a dirt box and it pumps so much bottom end i nearly cried with joy.
wear a pink shirt and go down the boozer
I had my amp pushing pretty hard, add in a bass player with 8X10s, a loud texas guitar player running a Super Reverb, a second guitar player with a 412, a loud drummer, and me singing, keyboarding, and harmonica'ing through the PA... put in a small room... mix.
= LOUD.
I agree. Really a great time to crank things up.
