Traynor Adds SB500H Bass Amp To Small Block Series

Traynor Small Block SB500H Bass Head

Traynor has expanded their Small Block series of bass heads with the SB500H. A companion to last year’s SB200H, the new amp delivers 500 watts while weighting a mere four pounds.

The SB500H retains many of the same features of its smaller brethren, including active and passive inputs, a 4-band EQ with low and hi mid controls, and the company’s Low Expander. It’s built with an all-metal chassis complete with front mounted handles for road-readiness. Its rounded out with an effects loop, a DI output with pre/post EQ switching, and a front mounted tuner output.

The Traynor SB500H Bass Amplifier will be shipping in June with a street price around $599.
