Trace elliot Twin Valve/ V4 /V6 /V8 which one.

Hi Guys, I have been with my Trace GP7 AH150 since new in 84 and loved every minute, plus she's never let me down. But now I really like the idea of a Valve Trace.
I play mostly heavier rock and play quite hard.

For small gigs I quite like the idea of the Valve twin 120w combo, but something inside says no! go for POWER!!! V4 V6 V8.

Is there a definite difference between the Twin and the V types, could it be I just forget the Twin and concetrate on the V types?.

I really am a little out of my depth on all aspects of the amps, so hopefully someone may be able to help steer me nearer a decision.

Cheers in advance, Sean.

 

Well after searching info on the net and the forums over here in the Uk, I finally went for the V8 and Wow what a beast For the other pup on the 4001 I went for a Twin Valve which has rounded off the sound nicely .
Cheers.

 

Ok here goes, I'm not to good with the attm thing, this should be the ''V8'' the ''Twin Valve'' and the old ''AH150 GP7'', with the 8 x10 dedicated Trace cab, the Hartley Thompson 410 plus 79 4001 and 70 EB3 Slot Head.
I just love them all
I do have to admit that my first gig with this set up will be next week, plus my band mates have also yet to feel the ''Power'' for our annual ( well feels like it anyway ) practice.

Sean.

 

Sure that would be fine, once I have got through the first gig, which is a really small venue for the V8, ( but they are going to get it whatever!) I would love to post a review.

 

Cheer's Tom, I had seen your site plus all the gear and was really quite bowled over .

The guy's who were Trace, really were genuine enthusiasts and ''into their sounds'' which shows in all they made.

 

Thanks Guy's.

There have been 2 for sale over here in the last few months, mine and the other one which I think is now coming over the pond your way, but when mine came up I just got straight in the car with some cash, while driving I had talked myself into the sale anyway and then when I actually saw the beast on the cab I thought without trying it, Jeeze this thing has got to be bought, I don't care even if its not working! this thing just looks frickin awesome, then I plugged in and went weak at the knee's, this thing is soooo smoooth but its growling too, I couldn't get it in the car fast enough. I have been playing ever since

 

Cheers, its like a part of me now, I bought it new in the early 80's. Really beat myself up about fitting the Badass , but so glad I did, its like night and day.

Let me know if you get over to the UK, you're welcome to come n jam.

The Quatra or Hexa was my initial first choice, my Twin has a great sound n can only imagine the Quatra is more full n has real grunt.
