LM II with Traynor TC112 cabs

#2
I am using a LMIII with 2 Traynor TC112 cabs. I had no problem getting a good punchy sound with 500watts into 4 ohms.

The Celestion BN12-300X speakers are a little 'thin' when new but once 'broken in', they do have a nice warm bottom. There is a 2-2k5 peak that can be handled with the VLF and the VPF.

2 cabs + LM head all for less than 60lbs... can't beat it.

What about any experiences with GB Shuttles and TC112s? I'm considering getting one to go with my soon-to-arrive Shuttle 6.0. I obviously need to get out and listen to the different choices out there, but I'm starting to narrow my options to a TC112 or a TC210NEO. It seems hard enough to find people who have any comments on these cabs, let alone with a GB head!

Well, to follow up my own post, I did end up getting a TC112 to go with my Shuttle head. I initially tried a GKNeo210, but my goal with this amp changeover was to go lightweight, and the GK wasn't light enough.

Anyway, upon coming to my senses I traded the GK back in for a TC112, and so far I've been very impressed. This little cab puts out an impressive bottom end (I play a 5), and sounds marvelous with the Shuttle. The volume seems to be just fine for practices - I've hardly had to go over 8am on the master. I love that I can carry my entire rig in one load, it makes for a much happier back and shoulder. Back to the tone though - to my ears, it sounds very nicely rounded. I don't find it to be as punchy as my old SWR Redhead was, or even the GK for that matter, but perhaps that is a 10s vs 12s issue. Right now I'm enjoying the roundness of it, getting a great tone for some blues and classic rock.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cab to anyone.

I'm glad this worked out for you.....I liked the TC112 while I had it (rented) but I already had the MarkBass CMD121P and wanted to pair it with it's sibling the NY121....I must admit that was one heck of a nice rig (MarkBass) but I still needed to cut down on weight (bad back) so the MB was 29/30 lbs and the new Tots are 22lb....that's a whole 16 lb difference and I really didn't compromise on any tone.....the MB LMii and the Tots are pretty darn nice.....though I'm thinking of trying out a GB Streamliner 900 and that might make me want to put on some brown pants just in case......lol
