[. . . ] Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] The YBA200 features capabilities such as a Resonance control, which adjusts the damping factor at the amplifier's output stage (allowing the player to take full advantage of the tonal capabilities of instrument speaker cabinets). Modern technologies, such as specially designed toroidal transformers provide increased reliability and real vintage tube sound, without the heavy weight usually associated with vintage tube amplifiers. Bottom line, the YBA200 has real vintage tube sound, no compromises, and no excuses. Two 12AX7 pre-amp tubes, a 12AU7 phase-splitter, and four KT88 power output tubes staying true to the all tube signal path Traynor philosophy. These jacks provide direct access to the YBA200'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). The Power and Standby Toggle Switches Due to the nature of vacuum tubes, we suggest the YBA200 be powered up for a few minutes prior to using. The pilot light glows red when the amplifier is engaged; it glows amber when in Standby mode. Note: Before powering up and disengaging the Standby switch make sure speaker cabinets are connected to the output jacks. When the amplifier is warmed up, disengage the Standby switch and get ready to experience the classic tone of a Traynor Bassmaster All-Tube Amplifier. Note: It's also recommended to leave the amplifier powered up during set breaks, The Standby switch cuts all outputs from the preamp and power amplifier. The 0 dB/Passive input feeds the first tube inputstage directly while the ­6 dB/Active input applies a pad to it. Tuner Output & Mute The YBA200 features a ¼-inch Tuner Output jack to enable direct connection with a tuner without affecting the signal path into your amplifier. When the switch is depressed the Tuner Out jack receives signal while the power amplifier and the D. This allows you to tune your instrument without affecting the sound going to the speaker cabinet, control board or PA. Gain Control The Gain control is placed immediately after the first tube-stage and is used in conjunction with the Master volume control to help achieve the proper sound and feel. This control also allows the capability of giving a warm overdriven tube sound when turned up (even at low volume levels). Additionally, the tone stack is equipped with a Range control; this adjusts the frequency range for the Treble, Bass and Mid controls. tech Note: The YBA200 has been fitted with a traditional passive tone stack. This allows the tubes to generate natural sounding harmonics when driven into saturation. Active tone controls can generate unwanted harmonics when clipping interrupts the feedback loop in the amplifier. Passive tone controls are always subtractive, which means they can only reduce the gain in their specific frequency ranges. Active tone controls, on the other-hand, are wrapped around an amplifier and will provide gain boost when the controls are turned past the middle position. [. . . ] When tube replacement becomes necessary, replace the output tubes with a matched set to maintain the highest performance of your amplifier.
