Acoustic Master Mini
We at Traynor Amplifiers would like to thank you for trusting us with your tone. As musicians, we
know just how important your tone is, we really appreciate that you have chosen us to help you
share yours with the world.
With the Acoustic Master Mini, we set out to produce an amplifier that does the best job possible
of faithfully reproducing the tone of your instrument while respecting and preserving the dynamics
of your playing. We put a special emphasis on touch sensitivity and performance-oriented features
and we believe that the results speak for themselves.
Features
1. Channel 1 Input Jack
We suggest you plug in your guitar here but if you want to plug in your resonator, mandolin, banjo, or
any other instrument (except for an autoharp, PLEASE no autoharps!!) we won't be offended.
2. Clip LED (Ch 1)
This LED will light up whenever your signal is getting too hot to handle and you're about to clip (or
distort) the sound.
3. Gain Control (Ch 1)
Use this control to increase the level of your signal in the preamp section of the Acoustic Master
Mini. A nice, hot signal will result in the best overall performance from your amplifier, so set this
control as high as you can without making the clip LED turn on a lot (little blinks are OK).
4. Anti-feedback Control (Ch 1)
When you're playing loudly, acoustic guitars are prone to feedback, that's not good. This control can
help reduce the feedback and allows you to increase your performance volume (a bit higher than you
would be able to without it). See the section "A Word about Feedback" for a more in depth explanation.
5. Bass, Middle and Treble Controls (Ch 1)
Use these controls to shape the sound of your guitar. The Acoustic Master Mini has been voiced to
accurately reproduce the sound of your instrument with these controls at noon but there are a number
of reasons why you may want to make adjustments. We suggest you start with all the controls at the 12
o'clock and make small adjustments from there. Players of small-bodied guitars may want to bump the
bass up slightly for a fuller sound. Heavy strummers may find the tone more pleasing if they decrease
the mids slightly. A little increase of the treble can help get a little extra life out of dull old strings.
6. Reverb (Ch 1)
Use this control to add some "space" to your sound. The effect is meant to emulate the sound of
playing in a large hall.
7. Chorus (Ch 1)
This effect adds a thickening "swishy" character to your sound. Set it to 12 o'clock to disable the
effect. Turn counter-clockwise for a mild chorus sound, or turn clockwise for more swish.
