The Acoustic Master 100
Your Traynor AM100 is a 100-watt stereo acoustic guitar amplifier designed to reproduce sound from an acoustic
guitar as realistically as possible. The compact size and lightweight of the AM100 make it easy to transport to
use almost anywhere. The amplifier accepts the output from active or passive pickups of your acoustic guitar, a
microphone, or even line-level signals. Other features include 32-preset digital effects, master volume control, a
balanced line out, Channel 2 effects loop, Channel 2 effects enable/disable switch, wet/dry master effects control,
and a sweepable notch filter. The versatility and response of the AM100 will make it a pleasure to play for years to
come. An optional footswitch can be used to change the digital effects presets.
The Traynor AM100 has 2 input channels, both of which can be used simultaneously. For example, an acoustic
guitar can be used on Channel 1 while a microphone, a keyboard, or even another acoustic guitar (using an active
pick-up) can be in use on Channel 2.
Power
The green LED located under the power switch will
illuminate when the unit is turned on.
Channel 1
The input to Channel 1 is unbalanced with an input
impedance of 1Meg-Ohm, and can accept either passive
or active pick-ups (piezo/coil). Controls include volume,
low, mid and high equalization, as well as a sweepable
notch filter. This filter eliminates most feedback generated
by the guitar and/or amplifier, and can also be used to
help shape the amplifier’s response to the user’s taste.
The notch filter can be switched on or off. The clip LED
can be used to gauge input level to avoid audible clipping.
Tone Controls (CH1)
The Channel 1 tone controls help you access the wide
range of sonic possibilities of the AM100 (these controls
DO NOT affect Channel 2). Rotate the Low control to
affect low frequency bass information, the MID control to
affect mid frequencies, and the HIGH control to affect the
higher frequencies.
Notch Filter Control
The sweepable notch filter control is located in the Channel
1 block and is used to eliminate feedback that is caused by
the guitar being too close to the amp at higher power. When
feedback does occur, make sure that the notch filter switch is
pushed in, and then rotate the notch control slowly until the
feedback is eliminated. Please note that if feedback noise
occurs when you are in close proximity to the guitar amp, the
notch filter may not help. Therefore either reduce power or
move the guitar farther away from amplifier.
Channel 2
This channel accepts line level signals, a microphone
(XLR), or any instrument with an active pickup with it’s own
volume control. Both channel inputs are balanced (TRS
or Tip/Ring/Sleeve, +/-/gnd). The ¼-inch phone jacks also
accept regular unbalanced cables. For best results and to
reduce noise, it is advised that you use balanced (stereo)
cables for interconnection wherever possible.
* To connect a stereo source to the ¼-inch input of Channel 2’s
input, use an appropriate adapter, which terminates in a male ¼-
inch stereo plug (e.g. dual female RCA to ¼-inch male stereo).
