Traynor YBA100 & YBA300
Thank you for choosing a Traynor all-tube bass amplifier. The YBA100 and YBA300 amplifiers represent the best
technology in high power tube bass amplifiers incorporating vintage design. The Traynor all-tube bass amplifiers
use a combination of tried-and-true vintage design and modern technology. This brings the tube warmth and tone
you expect from an all-tube bass amp with unsurpassed reliability. The layout is simple and straightforward with
no nonsense tone controls, it’s just plug in and play.
Please, take some time to read this manual and learn about the unique features these amplifiers offer. We wish
you and your Traynor all-tube bass amplifier many years of happy gigging together.
Features
• Three 12AX7 pre-amp tubes, a 12AU7 Driver (YBA300 only), and 6L6/EL34 power output tubes (12 on the YBA300
and 4 on the YBA100). That’s 300 watts on the YBA300 (100 watts on the YBA100) of all tube power and tone.
• 3-Band tone controls with frequency selectable Mid control along with Deep, Bright, and Resonance tone switches.
• True balanced D.I./Line output. Selectable Pre-EQ or Post-EQ and Ground Lift.
• Effects Send and Return jacks (Pre-Amp Out and Power Amp Input). These jacks provide direct access to the
Traynor all-tube bass amplifier’s signal chain so you may slave out, or slave into, another amp; or you can use
these jacks as an effects loop (for professional-grade signal processing equipment).
• Tuner Out jack.
• Individual tube Bias Adjust, Indicator LEDs, and lockout so you will always know the status of your tubes.
