Traynor SB110

Traynor · amplifier

The Traynor SB110 is a 120-watt bass combo amp built around a single 10-inch speaker, weighing just 21 pounds for easy portability. It shares the Small Block series' 4-band active EQ (Bass, Low-Mid, Hi-Mid, Treble) with up to plus/minus 15dB per band, plus a balanced XLR DI output taken post-EQ. Reviewers note it delivers a surprisingly deep, full sound for a single 10-inch speaker, avoiding the boxy midrange coloration that often affects speakers this size.
