Yorkville - DB400T

Description/Specs

Yorkville DB400T - 2X10"/TWTR 400W BASS AMP

A separate parallel tube overdrive circuit with an innovative 'wet / dry' balance control that allows the perfect blend of overdriven signal to clean bass tone, from 100% drive to pristine and anywhere in between. This allows as much growl or as little "tube warmth" as required to be incorporated into your sound while maintaining a clean central tone to maintain definition and clarity.

A switchable limiter and a compressor circuit with user definable threshold control have been added to the tube input circuit as well.

The five-band EQ, with a semi-parametric sweepable mid, and a continuously variable Scoop* control offers one of the most versatile tone stacks found on a bass amp.

*The Scoop function sweeps from a flat frequency response to a mid-frequency dip at 300 Hz. As you increase beyond the 1/2-way point on the control you begin to boost both the top end and bottom end to your tone, in addition to further reducing the midrange level.

The DynaBass 400 bass combo offers a front panel wet / dry control for the effects return, footswitchable tube overdrive, footswitchable effects return and a pre / post selectable XLR balanced Tube DI output. Speakon(tm) and 1/4-inch extension speaker outputs have been added for the addition of an external bass cabinet.

A front panel tuner / mute switch kills the signal to the amplifier (and DI output) for silent tuning with the front panel mounted 1/4" tuner out jack.
