[43% burnt]

Bada-BUMP!

I'm surprised that no one that went to NAMM has chimed In if the line was even there.

Yeah...whats up with that? I'm going to infiltrate the other NAMM thread and do some recon...cover me

Clive Roberts stopped by our booth briefly, but I didn't get the oppt'y to ask him. One of our guys in the UK used to work for TE, so Clive was really over at our booth to talk to him.

I'm curious of their current and new lines as well.

I asked about the new TE line in th "wheres all th NAMM pics" thread, and that was the only response I got. Only thing I can gather from it is Clive was talking to someone from Orange. Wheather or not the new TE line was there is still a mystery.

Sorry burnt man, my remark was actually meant for j-raj. He let us brothers down by not bugging Clive atleast a little bit. Hear me j-raj?

What I would've done to have been at that booth... now all we need is a TB "Make a new V-Type" petition. I rekon it would sell hundreds if not thousands, the prices and demand for V8s shows that. Basically they should take the V8, give it the new Trace look, work the old fuse and other issues and maybe up the power just to make it even sweeter. Heck basically all we want is a V8 reissue.

Anyone have any idea what the footswitch here does?

Probably switches between the pre-shapes, and turns the EQ on and off, maybe compression...just a guess based on the older models.

Okay - let's get this right: Pre-shape, EQ, compressor, mute. That's taken from the TE website.

Actually I love the old late 60's early 70s SVTs. Great heads but very different from a V6. The SVT does one thing really really well. Rock/metal. The V-types do EVERYTHING well.

The Trace booth was very close to our booth. Twelve years ago Paul, Clive and I were affiliated with the same company so we spoke quite a bit.

At this time they don't have plans for tube heads. Also, they are planning for very limited distribution in the U.S. Peavey's desire is do only sell these in to select boutique/pro shops.

I spoke with Paul quite a bit on amp design.....he's a real gentleman. The amps they had on display were still all pre-production samples so I didn't ask to play them. Kind of a code amongst product managers is that you don't ask to play somebody's pre-production piece.

Based on our discussions though on design, I would expect these to sound like the Trace of days gone by. Even as a competitor, I'm glad to see them back.
