Team Trace Elliot! Part II

[armybass]

If the GK can bypass its own pre it will sound just like a trace head. I've used sm7 pedal into mixer into random old power amp, instant trace.

My GK 700RBII can and that is how I run my Alembic F1-X through it.....hope the GK can too....

I plan on racking it with a GK 800RB and using the GK's effects loop. I run a few different rigs with different preamps running through the effects loops of stand alone heads... it gives me more versatility in my opinion. I have always loved the Trace sound but have never owned one. Looking forward to getting the pre and I hope it will work well through my GK's FX loop?????

I Used to have an 800RB and once used a different preamp patched into the effects return. That worked fine.

The effects return disconnects the GK preamp from the power amp section. You would then have a bi-amped Trace rig, since the cross over would still be in the signal chain (unless you switch it to full range. The 800RB always sounded better used in a bi-amp situation. I used to have an 18" and 2x12 cabs.

Small Boxer is also counted, I hope?

 

[Downunderwonder]

Yeah, you're family, but seeing as it's a practice amp I'm gonna make you dredge up the last member number I gave out and add one.

I´m not sure I understand

 

[Downunderwonder]

Search the thread for the last member # I gave out, report back. Then you'll be member # X+1 and I'll give you the official welcome. Normally I'd do it all myself but you only have a practice amp.

Negotiate on the 150W head on trademe, you might get it for $400.

 

[Bass_Kiwi]

Yeah, I didnt understand, that I had to find it myself Ok, I´m going to do it right now

Edit: Ok, last one was probably 203, so I´m 204..

Dang. Hardball.

 

[armybass]

Wooo hooo, getting my Trace Elliot GP7SM preamp tomorrow! Will post pix for sure!

 

[Count Bassie]

Atta boy!

 

[Downunderwonder]

Welcome Bass Kiwi, member # 204.

 

[Count Bassie]

Kiwi Mon!

 

[Downunderwonder]

I probably should have made him 203.5 and give him a proper number when he gets a rig worthy of taking a photograph of.

 

[RobJ]

Welcome Kiwi, but we will be expecting a photo forthwith....

Actually that's interesting. A practice amp is not a gigging rig... but hey. Points for enthusiasm, right?

I have a 1008C head. It used to be a 8x10 combo. It's been cut off. And I have the head. I like to rebuild it someday... Bought it as non runnin. Now it has been serviced and sounds amazing. It's an early AH250 with a GP11. The paint is grey.
