The Traynor DynaBass 100 The Traynor DynaBass 100 has been designed with the needs of professional bass guitar players in mind. We believe you will find your Traynor DynaBass 100 to be dependable and versatile for years to come.

1. CD / Line RCA Input Jack

These RCA jacks are provided so that players can connect an external source such as an mp3, tape or CD player; you can play along while performance or practicing. User Tip: A small mixer could be connected here turning the DynaBass 100 into a subcompact PA for low-volume rehearsals.

2. 0 dB / Passive and -6 dB / Active Inputs

These are the instrument inputs. We suggest the following: use the 0 dB/Passive input for bass guitars with passive electronics, like single-coil and humbucking pickups; use the -6 dB/Active input for active pickups (or extremely ‘hot’ pickups). However, you may prefer to run your active pickup bass guitar into the 0 dB/Passive input for an intentional aggressive sound – you the artist are in control. User Tip: Don’t use both inputs at the same time as they’re not intended for connecting more than one instrument at a time.

Set the Volume control for the level of sound desired. If unwanted distortion occurs, reduce the Volume setting and/or the tone control settings (especially Bass).

Each tone control permits a wide range of adjustment. The three overlapping controls cover the entire audio spectrum. The Bass adjusts the level of the low frequency range, the Mid control adjusts the frequencies and harmonics in the mid-range and the Treble control regulates the upper harmonic range. The center setting on these tone controls is approximately neutral. User Tip: When starting out, it’s a good idea to center all tone controls. Then, while you play, adjust them for the desired sound.

The Scoop control emphasizes lows and highs and reduces midrange to provide a flexible tone alternative. A setting of 0 provides no Scoop and a setting of 10 provides the maximum effect. User Tip: You may find that for best results using the Scoop at higher settings, the tone controls should be set close to the center/neutral positions.

This is your conduit to the P. A. or recording console. Using an XLR mic cable or a shielded patch cord with a female XLR connector on one end (balanced or unbalanced, e.g. a high or low-impedance mic cable), connect the Line Out to the input of the mixer. Electronic balancing circuitry minimizes the possibility of hum or noise when the Line Out is connected to a mixer (even when the mixer does not have balanced inputs). Also, this output can be made Pre-EQ or Post-EQ according to the selector button which is described below.

7. Pre-EQ / Post-EQ Selector Switch

The Pre-EQ / Post-EQ selector switch enables you configure the behavior of the Line Out XLR jack.

In the Pre-EQ setting, the Line Out signal comes directly from the input section bypassing the Volume control, tone controls and EFX Send/Return circuitry. Use the Pre-EQ setting in a recording or P. A. situation where the mixing engineer requires a completely dry signal, as if it were a D.I. box (Direct from the Instrument). In the Post-EQ setting, the Line Out signal comes from the final preamp stage. The Volume control, tone controls and any connected effects all affect the signal directly. Use the Post-EQ setting when connecting the Line Out to the input of another amp (perhaps for added stage coverage) or to a recording or P. A. mixer where a dry signal is not required. User Tip: For most club PA situations or for home recording, you would probably prefer the Post-EQ setting.

8. EFX Send / EFX Return Jacks

The line-level signal at the EFX Send jack is post-fader and post-EQ (it is affected by the Volume and all tone controls). The EFX Send would normally be connected to the input of the effects processor with a shielded patch cord. When a phone plug is inserted to the EFX Return jack, the signal goes directly to the DynaBass 100’s internal power amp. Technically, by inserting a ¼-inch phone plug into the EFX Return, you are disconnecting the internal preamp signal going to the power amplifier stage. As a result, the power amp can only receive signals routed through here (i.e. it isolates the power amp). Only use shielded patch cords for all interconnections. User Tip: You can “slave” your DynaBass 100 to another amp. As an example, if you wanted to run two bass amps for a large gig, you can simply run a shielded patch cable from the line output of the other amp (possibly another DynaBass 100) to the EFX Return of your DynaBass 100. Note: When used as a preamp for an external amplifier, the DynaBass 100 does not control the volume and tone of the external amplifier.

When a headphone plug is inserted into the Phones jack, the built-in speaker is disconnected. This permits silent practicing. The headphone jack must be used with stereo headphones – do not use mono headphones as the output signal will be cancelled.

The LED on the front panel will illuminate when the Power switch, on the rear panel is turned to the On position.
