Members HopeStreet Posted September 11, 2013 Members Share Posted September 11, 2013 i'm thinking about purchasing a traynor bassmaster mark II today,and am running into some ambiguity as far as figuring out if i can run it the same way i'm running my laney vh100r currently.i have two cabs,a 4x12 and a 2x12.both are 8 ohms.on the laney i run them out two 4 ohm jacks (obviously).the traynor has a "speaker" jack and an "ext." jack,and is an 8 ohm head.initially i thought no way it's going to work.but some folks online say they have no problems with it.i'm going to be running it hot,hm-2 and ocd infront.gig volumes.thanks!

Members Wyatt Posted January 26, 2014 Members Share Posted January 26, 2014 The Mk II is an extremely loud, tight and bright amp, much louder and more ear-piercingly brighter than the original Bassmaster. Traynor claimed the Mk II was a 85-watt amp, but 60-65 watts RMS is probably more realistic on e you crunch the numbers. It will safely run a 4-ohm load, but the side effect is roughly half as much dissipation, so roughly 30-40 watts RMS. in short the 3db volume boost you gain from the extra cab is negated by a 3db loss do to the load mismatch.
