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.
3. Volume
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).
4. Tone Controls
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.
5. Scoop
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.
