Trace Elliot TA 200

Incredibly sounding and versatile acoustic amp. So many great features. I pairs up nicely with my Gibson acoustic. Thanks Sweetwater for a great deal on a super piece of gear!!!

Unbelievable sound and weight!!

Admittedly I didn't buy this at SW (sorry guys!), but I've gotten other things here and you can't go wrong. This amp defies logic. It weighs nothing, yet projects like nothing else I've owned. The feature set is deceptively simple, as you can tell that there is a lot going on in that small space when you play through it. I use it for acoustic guitar, mandolin and believe it or not electric guitar! It sounds equally at home with all of them. I don't use it for any distortion tones, but for cleans it's absolutely brilliant! The EQ is very sensitive and I find that I don't have to do much and usually use the EQ on the acoustic guitar for fine tuning. The boost button on the footswitch boosts the volume but also adds a little compression so my acoustic solos stand out and I get some sustain (whoever thought that feature up must play live). The effects are awesome, not too involved but just what you need for acoustic. The bag that comes with it is very rugged and I'm going to buy another one just to carry stuff around! Now for a nit-pick of mine that this covered well. I almost bought another footswitch cable at the same time because every amp I've ever bought comes with a cable that is too short for actual stage use. I didn't do that this time, just on a whim. I get to the first gig and guess what, the cable is 30 feet long, more than enough for the stages I play. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but it was to me. GREAT JOB TRACE!!!! I'm a fan for life!
