Trace Elliot AH250(with working black light)

[dmonroe]

Up on the block is a Trace Elliot AH250. I believe these were made late 80's and way early 90's. It’s the Mark V era, so its pre-Gibson. 250 "British" watts(that's code word for loud) into 4 ohms. I love the sound of it. The only reason I’m letting it go is that I have a Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0 showing up today

I'm letting it go local for $225 or $300 shipped. I could also drive and meet part way. I’m in Augusta GA which is right on the GA/SC state line.
BUT , I WILL BE IN SAVANNAH GA THURSDAY AFTERNOON TILL FRIDAY MORNING THEN HEADED TO JACKSONVILLE FL FOR THE WEEKEND. So, Anyone in those areas that are interested let me know before I leave and I will bring it with me and we could meet there
The Good

This is the amp that made me realize watts does not equal volume. It’s a very rock oriented amp, with a large low end. It’s quite articulate for its time. The black light works. In a time before cheap LED's, Trace solved the darkness problem by painting the front in high contrast and including a black light that lights up the panel. Very cool looking.

This thing is built to last. You can feel the quality in the switches and knobs(no so much the buttons, more on that later). This Mark V is built very road tough.

The Bad
It’s a lead sled, the handle is worn, but its solid. It’s a little dusty; the thing is a played and used amp.


Local only. Also the EQ shaping buttons do not work, a common problem with these. What a previous owner did was wire up a sort of mini switch system that plugs into the footswitch socket. It works absolutely fine.
