Yorkville - DB400H

Description/Specs

Yorkville DB400H - 15"/TWTR 400W BASS AMP

The 400-watt DynaBass DynaBass 400H is one of the most versatile bass heads in the Traynor line. The selectable tube / solid-state input stage allows the player to easily choose between a FET driven solid-state input circuit that delivers a pristine clean tone, perfect for funk & pop styles, or a warm and responsive tube circuit, - ideal head for R&B, rock, blues and country.

A five-band EQ with semi-parametric mid and Scoop Control ensures the DynaBass 400H player can find any tone they need easily and quickly. The Scoop function sweeps from a flat frequency response through a mid-frequency dip at 400Hz, boosting both the top and bottom end while as the control moves beyond the halfway point. This simple and effective tone-shaping tool makes it easy to hit that perfect sweet spot in your sound on any stage, any night.

A footswitchable distortion / fuzz with tunable drive on DynaBass 400H can be added in parallel to a core clean bass tone using the wet/dry blend on the front panel. This continuously variable control allows the perfect mix of the fuzz effect to be added to the core clean tone creating a whole new tone pallet. A footswitchable effects return with level control and a pre/post selectable XLR balanced DI output with ground lift ensures maximum flexibility.
