Traynor SB112
Traynor · amplifier
The Traynor SB112 is a 200-watt bass combo amp built around a 12-inch speaker, weighing 25 pounds. It carries the Small Block series' 4-band active EQ with a low-frequency expander for extended bass shaping beyond the standard EQ range, plus a balanced XLR DI output taken post-EQ. Positioned as a mid-size option in the Small Block lineup, it offers more power and speaker size than the SB106 and SB110 while remaining considerably lighter than a traditional 12-inch bass combo.
