Thank you for choosing the DynaBlock 400. You will discover that this bass amplifier has
the ability to sound "right" with a minimum amount of knob twirling and delivers great tone
making it perfect for your any performance. Best of all its lightweight, compact design will
make setups/teardowns a great deal easier.
When you need the extras, they're all here:
• Dual Inputs are provided for standard Passive pickups (0 dB) and extra-hot or
Active pickups (-9 dB).
• The power on light will illuminates much brighter RED if the input signal is too hot
from your bass.
• Gain and Master controls let you dial-in the perfect amount of clarity, warmth or even
overdrive at the right level.
• The Low expander control lets you tailor your sound precisely and uniquely by extending
the lows while reducing the midrange.
• Active Bass, Low-Mid, Hi-Mid and Treble tone controls provide up to 15dB of cut or boost
• A separate Tuner Out jack lets you keep your tuner connected without affecting your signal
quality. This also makes tuning convenient since it's always available for quick reference
and adjustments. Using the Mute button ensures that the audience doesn't hear you tuning.

(dry) or Post-EQ (wet).

jacks are in parallel and the overall minimum load is 4 ohms.
