If I recall, the manufacturer which promoted their "punch" most was Hartke. Not everyone's cup of tea, but may be the sound you're looking for.

It’s a yba-200. I have tried backing off the gain on the other amps. Makes no difference. All 3 cabs are 8 ohms.

I follow your logic here, but in reality the Traynor is delivering a lot more power and low end than the others. It doesn’t make sense that a credible amp like the ob-1 can’t push the same signal to the same cabs without making them fart, even at lower amplitude & eq.

Hi all. Please save my brain from exploding with this issue. I’m experiencing an unpleasant noise in the lower register. I’m calling it flapping or distortion but you could call it farting. It happens at medium volume and flat eq. In trying to isolate the problem I’ve eliminated the (passive) instrument and there’s nothing in the signal chain in front of the amp. I have 3 amps (traynor all valve, Orange OB-1 class A/B and Ashdown class-D) and 3 cabs (Ampeg 4x10, Barefaced Compact, GK 1x15). Here‘s the head-scratcher: With the Traynor and any cab, no flapping. With Orange or Ashdown and any cab, it’s there. I got the Orange amp looked at by an Orange-approved tech. No problem. What am I missing? Cheers for any help. PS. Gig Saturday so I’ll be lugging the big iron to the pub 😖

There is a lovely-looking Ashdown 12-band 600 in the classifieds.....

Not with that neck damage... what a shame.
