If I didn’t have a Mesa WA 112 already I’d be interested in this 112 for sure. Bet it sounds good.
Send me the money.
Yeah that's a high-end combo. Kinda heavy but built to last.If I didn’t have a Mesa WA 112 already I’d be interested in this 112 for sure. Bet it sounds good.

Hahaha. Well, it'd be less than half the price of the combo, or a 15 cab to use as an extension.
I mean if you by the combo and an extension new, might as well by a GK Fusion 800/212 combo and be done with it.
I think somewhere in this thread someone said the 115 gets 100 watts stand alone, 200 watts with the extension.
That's true for the 115. Can't add an extension to the 112.

Well, 130 or so into the 15. It only gets 100 with an extension. They both will.
What’s nice in my mind is how close to flat you can stay and have it sound pretty great, even without the SGT on. This says someone was paying close — and skillful — attention to the sound engineering on these amps.
One thing I’ve noticed on mine it doesn’t seem to have the “premium” handle like I’ve seen on others. Mines just a standard plastic one.

It doesn't have two power sections, it's a 200w @ 4ohm amp.
200w @ 8ohm will be 130 ish.
Yea. I guess its only 100 watts. Still in consideration. LOL
- Hi iagtrplyr! I have the RB112, I’ll take a picture soon as possible, thanks a lot for inviting me
Yes, @etnoo post the pic at the Combo Club-
That’s where some of us hang after posting about our Awesomeness at getting some of the first Ampeg Rocket Bass combos!!!
Exactly!! Well put @Lowbrow!! This
My RB-115 sounds great with EQ flat and SGT engaged just a bit!! I was running “grit” at about noon, level at 2:00?? Anyway- leveled to match output w/o SGT.
It never got out of hand or over the top “grit”, rather it added a bit of pleasant toastiness to the party. Was playing my Talman TMB-100 P/J today.
Had the J bridge off most of the time. Wanted to see how a P gets along. Really nice! Then I cranked the J bridge solo and threw on some chorus. Uhhh Yeah!!
Got my Peter Hook on.Some folks have not been impressed by the SGT. I like the SGT- Maybe it’s also the 15” speaker. Maybe it gets too shrill with a smaller speaker? It’s warmer sounding than the SCR I remember playing around with on a BA-112 or 115 last time I was in a real GC
(two or three years ago..) So far SO Great!!
