I’m looking for a good 1x12 combo and the traynor looks pretty good but, there really doesn’t seem to be many who have used one. Anyone have experience with one?

Traynor sb112 opinions?

I read them, they were mostly by db players and I only play electric. Nothing really specific either.
Could anyone tell me what the treble output is like with the tweeter turned off? I never use tweets so, the woofer needs to have some of its own. Thanks
I have the 3 Small Blocks (110, 112, 115).
Solid high quality in every respect, no cut corners, clean sound, cleaner than GK but without the harshness, powerful EQ, built-in HPF set at 44Hz.

I've ab'd the 110 and the 112, and played the 15 at a different time.
I'd hesitate to play the 110 with a loud drummer and guitarists. It wasn't quite low enough for my tastes either (this was long enough ago that my tastes have since changed, probably) but the 112 was definitely loud enough at least for practice in that situation. The tone is definitely what one would call hi-fi - really clean, it can go deep and high when you want it to, and I honestly don't recall being able to turn off the tweeter or if I even bothered to look at the time.
The 115 would be my first choice, but I'd take the 112 over a rumble 100 most days in most ways except for looks, but that's subjective.

The Traynor tweeter adds ooomph and musical clarity, if this is the right wording.
The tweeter on my Fender Rumbles (200 and 500 with 115 cab) didn’t change the sound much, I found them muffled, boomy and clanky no matter what.

I just pulled the trigger on a used SB112 today to replace a Peavey Max 112. I won't have it in my possession till next week, but when I do, I'll let you know how it does.
Based on what I've read, Traynor seems to be a relatively quiet but very competent player as they do get mostly positive reviews. "Quietly competent"... Maybe that's a Canadian thing?
