YORKVILLE SOUND • Toronto, CANADA

The Acoustic Master

Your Traynor AM50T acoustic guitar amplifier was designed to reproduce sound from an acoustic guitar as realistically
as possible. The compact size and light weight of the AM50T makes it easy to carry and use anywhere. The amplifier
accepts the output from the active or passive pickups of your acoustic guitar, a microphone, or even Line-Level inputs.
Other features include a spring reverb with level control, a balanced Line out and a Sweepable Notch Filter. The
versatility and response of the AM50T will make it a pleasure to play for years to come.

The Traynor AM50T has 2 input channels. Both channels can be use simultaneously. For example an acoustic
guitar can be used on channel 1 while a microphone, a keyboard, or even another acoustic guitar (using an active
pick-up) can be in use on channel 2.

Power

The green LED located under the Power switch will
illuminate when the unit is turned on.

Channel 1

The input to Channel 1 is unbalanced with an input
impedance of 1-Mohm. It can accept either passive or
active pick-ups (piezo/coil) Controls include Volume,

Low and High equalization, as well as a sweepable
Notch filter. The filter eliminates most feedback

generated by guitar and/or amplifier, and also can be
used to help shape the amplifier’s response to the
individual’s taste. The Notch filter can be switched on
or off. The clip LED can be used to gauge input level to
avoid audible clipping.

Tone Controls

The Channel 1 tone controls help you access the wide
range of versatile sonic possibilities of the AM50T (these
controls do not affect Channel 2). Rotate the Low

control to affect the low frequency information (the bass).
Rotate the High control to affect the high frequency
information (the treble).

Notch Filter Control

The sweepable Notch filter control is located in the Channel
1 block and is used to eliminate feedback that is caused by

the guitar being too close to the amp at higher power. When
feedback does occur make sure that the notch filter switch is
pushed in, rotate the notch control slowly until the feedback
is eliminated. Please note, if feedback noise occurs when
you are in close proximity to the guitar amp, the notch filter
may not help, therefore either reduce power or move the
guitar further away from amplifier.

Channel 2

This channel accepts line level, balanced microphone
(XLR), or any active pickup with it’s own volume control.
Channel 2 is ideal for keyboards and other audio
sources. The channel input is balanced (T.R.S. or Tip/
