Team Trace Elliott Pt 3

[OrphicTrench]

It may be obvious but I just want to make sure: when using your amp head (mine is a GP7SM250) as a D.I. in a recording, do you need to have your cab plugged in like you would normally do with a tube amp or can you use it without a cab?

Thanks! Saving my ass like always.

 

[Downunderwonder]

No cab required.

 

[OrphicTrench]

Alright! That's what I thought. In any case, my bass track will probably be a mix of a miked cab and the direct out of my amp head.

 

[Downunderwonder]

Record a bass DI take too. You can redo that through amp etc a million times if you like.

Welcome member # 228 TraceWar. Please put it in your signature. Got a pic of your amp?

Thanks Again! I will post some up later nothing too special just an AH600-12 that I hope to stack atop a 1028h and 1528 once some more of my drum equipment goes!

Scored a great deal from the guitarcenter used section. a trace elliot ah500 7 for 199.99; $260 out the door. The amp was marked down from $699!

Update!

I've recently killed my main project (in wich I played guitar) and I'm now officialy more of a bassist than a guitarist bandwise. Since the last couple of week, I've been experiencing bi-amping stereo rig, basically one amp for clean low and high-end and one for distortion/grit/thrash sound. Here's a recent picture of my rig:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Signal A: Ibanez SR305 -> BYOC's Stereo Amp Selector -> Trace Elliott AH400 -> Trace Elliott 1048H Cab
Signal B: Ibanez SR305 -> BYOC's Stereo Amp Selector -> SansAmp BDDI -> Behringer 10 bands EQ -> Traynor Bassmaster 50 -> Peavey Triple XXX 4x12" Cab

Yup, you read that right. Bass through bass amp through guitar cabinet. I'm running signal B with little to no bass in the EQ, mainly focusing on the high mid frequencies. I'm planning to get a second bass cab to replace the Peavey, but so far, I like the results.

Now shopping for a new bass....

Your link is now dead...FYI. Nice score, tho!

Sweet that must mean they shipped it. I've actually owned the 715x combo which is just the ah500-7 head with their 1518c cab

I have a GP11 4-10 combo and I just bought a newer head from a 1012 combo. It's an AH500-12. Is it a good idea to have the newer head replace the old one in the combo ?

 

[Downunderwonder]

Maybe, but I doubt it.

 

[DiMarco]

Depends on what you want. If you need the extras the 12band gives you (comp, valve) go for it IF it fits.

 

[boamedt]

yeeeaa this thing rocks, very sweet tone, dead quiet

 

[Blairb]

Is it possible to get a TE member number for my GP12 series6 ? I don't know how this works.

 

[My name is Mudd]

Usually, posting pic(s) of your Trace gear is the only requirement.

 

[Blairb]

Here you go.😃

anyone familiar with the foot pedals? I recently grabbed a nice EQ pedal and it runs on 18v but did not come with the adapter. I have heard comments about the polarity being different. How do I wire it to my Dunlop brick to make it work right?

 

[Razman]

How easy/hard is it to do the Speakon mod for British-made amps with an XLR speaker jack on the back? Mainly, is there much fabrication needed to fit the connector through the same hole or no?

Thanks,

Raz

There was a TE comp pedal on ad here recently, but without the AC adaptor. I asked about a comparable adapter in the ad's thread and someone (can't remember who offhand) said that (IIRC) Godlyke has a reverse-polarity wire/plug adapter that would power the pedal from a standard 9V/18V power supply. Note that it was also mentioned that the TE pedal has an oddball plug size, and that a standard Boss-type plug wouldn't fit...dunno if your EQ is the same way, but it might be.

- EDIT - I just found a TE 18V power supply @ British Audio Service...I'd check with them to be sure that it will power your EQ, tho.

Welcome BlairB, member # 229.

Re foot pedal power, godlyke red plus green cables convert polarity and provide correct size barrel.

Iirc speakon needs a slightly bigger hole than xlr.
