Welcome to Phoenix Drummergrl , A Yammie M80 is a great Amp I have one in my Main System,,the only Knock on Yammies are some parts are real tough to find you Damn well need a donor unit,,but as far a clean massive power they are tough to beat,,I used to use my 2 M50s plugged in my Yammie Pre (quite a light show) I also have a very nice PL400 gathering dust which would make you a nice base for a Mod but 200 watts is more than enough for the type of music I listen to. Get comfortable in Phoenix you will find a lot of nice people here FF
