the TRACE ELLIOT thread

Hi all i have a trace combo with 1 x 10 in a ported type of box (see pic) this a GPSM7 (that pic is another model but mine has the same pseaker enclosure) its 150 watts rms at 4 ohms. I tried it today with a trace 4 x 10 ported box and it rocked! Using the combo on its own is ok for practice but its really a crap sound, but plug in into soemthing decent and it comes alive. I am amzed at the pwer of this thing i think maybe at 150 watts its quite underated. The trace 4 x 10 i'm going to buy is a bit beat up (years of roadwork i guess) but it sounds great and built like a bloddy tank!

Its for sale at $600.00 AUD ($450.00 US) which is maybe a bit steep but its too good to pass up and it matches the amp!

Does anyone know what era these amps were made in?

BP - have a swifty through this thread, there are several threads involving your amp. :)

It's fairly quiet at low volumes, but it is incredible with the volumes @ 12. So loud, infact that I made an Ampeg fart a little! :eek:
Gig on the 30th May. Can't wait! I think I've got the sound I'll need (Trace's version of old school, really). Should be a blast! :bassist:

And Trace are back. They had all their gear at the London guitar show @ the weekend there! My buddy got to play through the 7 & 12 bands, coupled wit 4x10+15 stacks (bastard!). He said they were fantastic.
I've played a 7-band, and I really dug it. I tihnk they look awesome!
excuisie typing, bandaged finger ;)

I believe i've seen one on ebay recently (last 6 months or so), it was a new-style (two-channel) V4 with a 15" speaker. also saw a new-style V4 2x10" combo. they look sweet, but i don't like the lack of portability of combos. never heard one though.

When Trace was advertising the Vs with the 4x12 cabs they showed a 1x15 combo V. Did it ever come into production?

Most definately they did, for only a short time though.

Along with an even rarer 4x8 V-type combo. (and matching 4x8 extension cab too).

But here's a link for the amp you are talking about for sale right now here in the states. Check it out.

Yeah they made those V-type combo's, but I'm pretty sure it was the older style though one though since at that time they were making 4x12's for their V-types, and during the Gibson (newer V-type) days they weren't.

I actually kind of prefer the newer V-type stuff to the older though, since the Kaman V-type combos were Hybrid's, and the Gibson stuff was all tube.

Ok folks,I started a thread about this amp,then remembered this particular thread was TE specific. I found 2 TE AH600 amps,and I know nothing about them. Both are in really good condition and are in the 600.00 range. I'm curious about the weight,and how the twin compressor works.I'd like to find a spec sheet also. Thanks.

Guys, just a quick question. Kinda need a quick answer too please! If I run my AH600SMX head with no cab, just DI out to record with, will it do any damage to the head? I think I know the answer, but don't want to ruin in, just in case I'm wrong.

Cheers!

Tom, it is all SS so no problem running without a cab.

That price is inline if it is a SMX or later Gibson era GP12X head and is in great shape. Are they good? Hell yea they're good! :bassist:

Again, the price sounds about right if they are in really good condition. For info on the compressor and specs for the head(s), go here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Just look at the appropriate manual for the series of head in question. Good luck!
