    Used (and old) Trace Elliot tube amp VS new class D amp

    OK that's what I thought. I'll get back there, try it and if I still like it I'll take it. Thank you all for your advice. Now I need to find/make a compact cab! I'll make some researches and probably post another thread to ask for some guidance.

    Can I ask you what would you consider a regular price for this head? $350, $300? EDIT : Knowing that it is a subjective estimate of course

    Used (and old) Trace Elliot tube amp VS new class D amp

    After a quick search on the internet, it looks like $400 is reasonable but on the high side. I could probably wait for a better price... Some sources: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trace-Elliot-GP12-SMX-Bass-Pre-Amplifier-In-Rack-/390944353593?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b06196d39...

    Used (and old) Trace Elliot tube amp VS new class D amp

    That's a lot of feedback, I really appreciate. I think it is correct, this head has a solid state power section and a tube preamp. I tried it on two different cabs, and both sounded awesome. If it was only for the sound I would take it right now. The only point I have to clarify now is...

    Used (and old) Trace Elliot tube amp VS new class D amp

    Thanks for your thoughts. This amp has a blend knob to have either the solid state sound or the valve sound or a mix of both. From that I assumed it was a tube amp but I did not see the tubes inside the head... Was I mistaken? (I thought that tube emulation did not exist at the time but I can...

    Used (and old) Trace Elliot tube amp VS new class D amp

    Hello, I am having another dilemma and would appreciate some thoughts on that. I went to guitar center this past week end to try (and buy) the Ampeg PF350 or the GK MB200 head. My idea was to have a rather inexpensive head so I can play now and I would upgrade it later with a nice preamp if...

    Good preamp + not so good amp = ?

    Thanks for all your comments that is interesting. I am currently thinking I will buy a PF350 or a MB200 (these two are available a the closest guitar center so I will get there I try them both). I still need some thinking concerning the cab. I like the DIY option (thanks a lot for your link...

    Good preamp + not so good amp = ?

    Alright I am convinced by the transparency of a power amp. I was thinking buying one of these class D amp (like the Ampeg PF350 or the GK M200) but I am intrigued by the DIY option, are you talking about DIY power amp + off the shelf preamp (+ DIY cab?). I will do my homework and look into all...

    Good preamp + not so good amp = ?

    I like your idea (micro head + 2 separate cabs) I will look into that. What is the fender 12" box you are talking about? It is a combo, a cabinet? Thanks for your help,

    Good preamp + not so good amp = ?

    Hello, I am having quite a dilemma here (I tryied googling this subject but not successfully). I am currently playing with 2 bands and I am trying to get around having two cheap amps that I would leave at the practice spaces and use a preamp pedal in order to have a nicer sound. The goal is...

    SOLD USA made Ampeg SVT 3 Pro

    Hi, I am interested in your head, what year is it? I live close to Boston (Somerville), where are you in mass? I would love to stop by and give it a try (do you have a cabinet so I can try your head with?). Thanks,
