the TRACE ELLIOT thread

I wouldn't deal with that guy. I bought one of those cool Trace shirts a few weeks ago. He sent me the wrong shirt (kinda funny - he sent me an Elliot Smith concert T shirtibz said:
) and never made amends. I sent him countless messages over several weeks to try to figure out what we would do to remedy the situation, but he never responded. $15 down the drain. 
EDIT: anybody wanna buy it?

What's kinda funny is that I still really want one of those shirts, so I'm contemplating buying another one from him and taking my chances.
Guys, a possible disaster! I'm posting a new thread about this as well, but I thought as there's a load of trace heads already subscribed i'd post it here too.
I think I might have blown an output transformer thing. I took my ah600smx head to a rehearsal place. They had 2 old peavey pa cabs, a 15" speaker, and a smaller one, maybe an 8", definitely ported, next to the 8" speaker. the guy mentioned something about black widows, is that the peavey 15"? He told me they were 8 ohms each, but they didn't have any backplate or anything with the ohms on it.
So, I plugged both of them in, one into the left output, one into right. I normally use the left one with my 1248. It sounded pretty sweet for the whole practice, I had the volume on about 4 and nothing weird happened. I drive home, over a couple of speed bumps in the process, set it up but didn't play until a bit ago. There is definitely a signal through the preamp, as the lights come on when I play.
When I plugged the 1248 into the right speaker output it was fine, but there was no signal at all from the left output. I've checked the fuse in the left output and it seems fine. So could it be a dodgy solder joint or something? Or does that sound like something that would happen if I ran two 4 ohm cabinets?
Cheers guys!

If anyone really wants Trace Elliot t-shirts, I may have an alternatice source. Let me know if anyone is interested. If I get enough interest, I may see if I can get some.
dang
Pm me if you are in for the t-shirts.
I'll make up a list, and if I get enough, I'll start to figure out pricing.

Trace now owns themselves over in England, and uses Peavey as their North American distributor.

I contacted the current Trace Elliot guys via e-mail and this is what I was told.

Can any one help me identify my Head? its a trace head with series 6 written on it and a 7 band eq. i'm pretty sure its solid state but i'm pretty inexperienced with these things. i cant find a model number on it atm. i bought it second hand and the guy i bought it from didnt know too much either.
i run it with my hartke xl 410 and too me it sounds sweet. i love it
So any info on this would be great.

I'm really new to the forum and was wondering if pre-gibson trace heads had any physical characteristics that could be indentifiable because I have recently bought a RAH350SMX and know very little about it.
