Main Features
D-BASS 210/115
Also Features Piezo Input Jack for
Acoustic Basses
The D-BASS is equipped with a Ultra-high-impedance
piezo input jack, allowing piezo pickups to be directly
connected to the amp. This makes the amp optimal for
acoustic basses as well.
COSM Preamps for a Wide Range
of Sound Possibilities
The D-BASS features three COSM preamp types,
including not just VINTAGE and MODERN for standard
bass sounds, but also a SUPER FLAT model, which
faithfully recreates the characteristics of the bass
instrument. Use these with the “Shape” function, which
offers a broader range of tonal variation, to create sounds
suited to any style of music.
The front panel includes three-band EQ with variable
midrange frequency, a dedicated Tweeter Control for
precise adjustments in the high end, and other controls
that provide you with complete freedom to create a wide
variety of bass sounds.
In addition to standard solid-state compression, these
amps feature a Tube Logic mode, which provides the fat,
natural-sounding compression characteristic of tube
amps. This lets you achieve the sort of compression that
you get when you slightly overdrive a vintage bass amp,
accompanied with fat harmonics.
Mute Function
The D-BASS is equipped with a Mute switch, making it
simple to mute the speakers and all outputs other than
the Tuner Out. This lets you plug and unplug the bass
noiselessly and tune silently with a tuner connected to
the Tuner Out jack.
You can also turn this switch on and off with your foot
by connecting a foot switch (BOSS FS-5L: optional).
Full Complement of Input and Output
Connectors
The amp is equipped with a full set of jacks and
connectors, including switchable XLR connectors, which
can be used as Line Outs or Direct Outs, Tuner Out,
Effect Loop, Line Out, Sub Out (expansion jack for
connecting to the D-BASS 115X), Mute foot switch jack,
and more. The Effect Loop jacks accommodate the
connection of both series and parallel effects.
COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
is Roland’s
innovative and powerful sound modeling technology.
COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original
sound, such as the electrical and physical characteristics of
the original, and then produces a digital model that can
reproduce the same sound.
D-BASS 115X
The Optimal Powered Extension
Speaker for the D-BASS 210/115
Connect the D-BASS 115X to D-BASS 210/115 to create
an even more powerful system.
The speaker is designed to allow a D-BASS 210/115 to be
set (stacked) on top of it.
The D-BASS 115X can also be used effectively as an
expansion speaker with other small bass amps.

FULL RANGE and SUB WOOFER
Modes
The speaker can be switched to and from Full Range
mode, which enables the tweeter control, and Sub
Woofer mode, which allows you to set the frequency.
These can be expanded flexibly to fit different stage
setups and match the playing style.
THRU OUT Jack
The D-BASS 115X features a THRU OUT jack, which
splits the input signal, allowing you to use multiple D-
BASS 115Xs simultaneously. You can also use this jack to
combine the D-BASS 115X with other amps and
subwoofers for an even more powerful system
compatible with venues of any size.
