the TRACE ELLIOT thread

Do you have a manual for the Quatra?

Where they all Stainless Steel Cases??

Quatra valves are sick!!! Never played or heard one...But man would I love to have one of those.

Also, I'm glad to see so many posts in this thread. Trace Elliot = The best!!

 

[Danm]

I'll be getting a price on one in the morning!!!!!

I notice that the new TE Web site has no "real" specs on the gear: no cabinet impedances, no impedance/amp power specs, no info on what the boxes are made of, etc.

It this just a speculative site set up to gage market interest?

Well, sorta. The Quatra used the Series 6 preamp and I have the manual for it. The only thing I have that is QuatraValve specific is the wiring scematics for it.

Where they all Stainless Steel Cases??

As far as I know, yes. I know I haven't seen one that wasn't!

Planet boulder...wow!! Nice rigs.

I was just playing around with my AH250 7-band, and I decided to really push it and see what It could do. Something I've alway been afraid to do, since its loud as hell with the gain on 1 and input on 2. So I cranked the eq settings up about +5 what I normally have them on. Without even adjusting the gain or input the thing was blowing my eardrums thru a 2x10 cab.
Conclusion = This little amp packs a serious amout of power!!

My bass teacher has a trace elliot rig, couldnt tell you much besides its a head on what looks like a cab with 4 tens, and its the nicest amp ive ever played through. the thing has killer tone and compression. The thing rules pretty much.

The band I'm in is rather loud, mainly because our drummer hits the skins hard (and VERY well, might I add!). We have a guitarist who plays through a Fender tube amp a keyboard player as well. For practice, I use my AH350 head through a 1x15 and turn it about halfway up, which isn't much, all things considered. The scary thing? That particular head is one of the least powerful Traces I've played through, all else being equal.

At indoor gigs, when I use my main Trace rig, I usually turn it up about 2-3 notches (and that's when it isn;t miked or DI'd).

Traces really kick it.

Yeah man...Same here. My drummer plays real hard. Plus I'm playing next to a triple rectifier half stack, and a 5150 half stack. At practice or live I use that same rig w/ another 15" cab. And I usually put the gain on 2 and the out put level on 3-4 max. And it is loud as hell.

Since this is my first and only Trace, It really makes me wonder about the 12 bands like the AH500 or AH1000. Those things must be insane.

Does anyone know where I can find a manual for my head? its th 7 series bass pre-amp GP7SM 250. The handwritten model no. is AH2507sm.

 

[Fliptrique]

my first combo was a 100 watts gp7/1x15. I`ve sold it to some unknown reason, just to buy a 200 watt gp7 head few moths later. Nothing sounds quite like it, it`s a perfect match to my guitarist crunch-twin reverb-strat tone and my current bass/playing style.

everytime i go and try other amps, I find myslef equing it to emulate the TE low midrange bark and definition... with little success

i`ve recently had an occasion to play a gig with a v6 head, and damn, was I happy...

... I have the Twin head / combo manual and the VA350 / Hexa manual in .PDF format if you would like, courtesy British Audio Service.

oddio: You've got PM! (much better than my BO, too! - that's a joke on me, btw)

Just had an opportunity to get my amp family together in one spot over the weekend and decided to take a picture of the brood. Makes me realize I've probably got more power than I need at the moment... but each of these things is great and I'd have a very hard time parting with any one of 'em.

Prominently situated at the top of the heap in the picture is the mighty Trace V6. Have only gigged a few times with it so far, but so far I'm lovin' it. Just had a tune-up from British Audio Service and it sounds killer

mgmadian: That is an OBSCENE setup, my friend! VERY nice!

(And there is no such thing as "too much power", you know! )

Nice collection of gear! Care to give us the full "compare and contrast?"

 

[heath_the_great]
