    hey guys

    i bought a Trace Elliot gp12 smx, about a year ago. 6 weeks ago it gave up the ghost during practice. i dropped it off to a local repairer who is the authorised repairer for just about every single amp manufacturer. i just rang said repairman and was told that after 6 weeks he has concluded that the amp cannot be repaired because he has no service data for it.

    can anyone help me get some info because i would like to get this fixed. i quite liked my amp.

    cheers Rod.

    The SM series amps seem to come in 300W, 500W 1000W and a mono/stereo 500W/CH.

    Which is yours??
