The Acoustic Master 150
Your Traynor AM150 is a stereo, full-range combo amplifier designed to reproduce the sound of acoustic guitar with
realism and projection. The AM150 can also reproduce voice, recorded music, keyboard instruments and other signal
sources because it is a full-range combo amplifier. Compact size and lightweight make the AM150 easy to transport
and use almost anywhere. We believe you will find that the versatility and response of the AM150 will make it a
pleasure to use for years to come.
Feature Overview
Channel 1 accepts the output from active or passive acoustic guitar pickups while Channel 2 will accept either a
microphone, another guitar (with active pickups), a line-level signal source such as a CD or tape player or a keyboard
instrument, and both channels can be operated at the same time. Other features include 32-preset onboard digital
effects with which an *optional footswitch can be used to turn on and off. An external effects loop is included on
Channel 2 however that channel also has access to the internal effects system. Channel 1 features 3-band EQ plus
a sweepable notch filter for precise tone shaping without feedback. Other features include a master volume control, a
mono, balanced XLR line output which is pre-effects (dry) and stereo ¼-inch post-effects (wet) balanced line outputs.
*(Footswitch model TFS-1)
Feature Details & Operation
POWER Switch & Indicator
Depress the top or bottom of the POWER switch on the
far right side of the control panel to turn the AM150 on or
off. The green LED located under the power switch will
illuminate when the unit is on.
Channel 1 (Acoustic Guitar)
INPUT Jack
This is unbalanced with an impedance of 1 meg-ohm
and can accept either passive or active pickups (piezo/
coil).
GAIN Control
Adjust this control for the desired volume. Check the
CLIP LED for activity – see below.
LOW, MID & HIGH EQ
+/-15dB of equalization is provided for precise tone
shaping of the instrument. Center position is neutral,
turn right to boost frequency gain and left to reduce it.
See under CLIP LED for additional information. This EQ
does NOT affect Channel 2.
Notch Filter
This represents a fixed-depth dip or notch in frequency
response, which can be moved across the sound
spectrum with the FREQuency control to either attenuate
feedback or enhance the sound of your particular
instrument. If feedback occurs, make sure that the
NOTCH button is depressed, then rotate the FREQuency
control slowly until the feedback is reduced or eliminated.
Please note that if feedback occurs when you are in
close proximity to the AM150, the notch filter may not be
