Complementing the XS400 and XS400H amplifiers, the XS400T combo is the latest in Yorkville's XS series and comes loaded with two ten-inch drivers.

Like its predecessors, the XS400T has tube input with a separate parallel tube overdrive circuit, and a 'wet / dry' balance control that allows the player to set the blend of overdriven signal to clean bass tone. In short you can add as much grunge or as little 'tube warmth' to the overall bass sound as a player requires, while maintaining a full 'clean tone' for definition and clarity.

A user defeatable auto tweeter mute has been added to the XS400T combo. The tweeter mute removes the tweeter from the signal path when the drive mode is engaged either by the footswitch or the front panel control. This ensures an almost guitar amp-like overdriven tube tone, without any of the 'harshness' a distorted signal in a horn driver creates. If the player prefers the more aggressive distortion sound with the tweeter left on, then the auto tweeter mute can be disengaged from a rear panel switch.

Solid plywood construction, perforated heavy gauge all metal grilles and an unconditional two-year warranty are standard features on all Yorkville Instrument amplifiers, including the XS400T.
