Traynor Dynablock 400

What is the general vibe of the Traynor Dynablock 400?
400Watts Combo Amp.

Would it be loud enough for venues of say 200-250 people with a drummer, 1 guitar, and 1 vocalist? Mainly blues rock and rock ballad sort of stuff.

Thanks.
 
i see either a 1x12 or a 1x15 version on their website; the 1x12 definitely would need a second cab (ideally traynor's matching 1x12 bass cab) while the 1x15 might get you by but would greatly benefit from the second 1x15 cab.

oddly, traynor's 1x15 extension cab kinda doesn't match this combo, a disappointment.
 
thought I would chime in on the traynor Dynablock combo. I picked one up the other day (the 112 combo), brand new at our local L&M music store. I am really impressed with the overall tone, build construction, and capable volume levels.
I have owned three mesa walkabouts over the years as well and (imo) this is just a better sounding rig. To my ears, not quite a sterile as the mesa products, also two year warranty and really built well. Then there is that $1100 (plus tax) price difference in Canada........

already ordered the matching 112 extension cab for it, not that I will need it, but you never know.

The DNBX112 is a killer cabinet. I was really close to buying one as a stand alone cab for light-to-medium needs. I rented one for about a month and it can handle A LOT of power and it sounded great. A really good rock cabinet. I opened it up and it has a Eminence Delta-12LFA in it which is rated at 500 Watts. The only reason i didn't buy it was that I decided to build a custom cab to closer match my 15/6/1. The word is these are discontinued so its wise to get one while you can. I randomly check L+M to see if they are blowing them out. But so far no luck.
