The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-112 is a 100-watt, 1x12-inch bass combo amplifier in the Rocket Bass series, featuring Ampeg's Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive and an SVT-inspired preamp voicing. The 12-inch driver delivers more headroom and low-frequency presence than the RB-110 while remaining compact and portable. Three-band EQ, SGT drive, a rear XLR DI, and headphone and aux connections make it versatile across rehearsal, small-venue gigging, and home recording. It delivers warm, slightly mid-forward Ampeg character suited for rock, blues, soul, and practice situations where a full stack is impractical.
The Boss Katana Bass KTN-110B is a 60-watt solid-state bass combo amplifier from Boss Katana series, designed as a dedicated bass instrument version of the Katana platform. It houses a 1x10-inch speaker and features multiple bass-optimised voicings alongside built-in effects including compressor, octave, chorus, and reverb. A power attenuator switches between 0.5W and 60W output for bedroom-to-rehearsal use. USB audio output enables direct computer recording.
