I'll be the first

by Shawn in Charlotte from Charlotte NC
January 6, 2010
Music Background: pro musician, AV technician
Getting back into playing live music, I needed a simple strong head to put on top of early 90's pre-Gibson cabinets. I want to use either a double 15 or a double 15 with a 4 x 10 on top, and it has to... read more [+] be TRACE ELLIOT!!! I was willing to look at SWR as a second choice, never liked Ampeg, Hartke, and the the hot new amp with all yellow knobs was described by a salesman at a chain store as not sounding like any thing but the bass plugged into it... Why not just use a car stereo amp! SWEETWATER came through and got the new TRACE ELLIOT line.

So this head fit my needs , 600 watts with a simple, yet for me familiar layout. IT SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!!!!!It sounds like the TRACE ELIIOT 12 band head in my studio rack so why not a perfect score? Because for a thousand dollars, it should come with a crossover!! If I try to use the 4x10,s on top of my 2x15 cab the 10's are slamming into the grilles like " Catholic High School Girls In Trouble" as the 15's are cruising for action.( I am using a bass wired with an 18 volt EMG setup, you probably will have standard 9 volt ) That's the big thing, the little thing is the carry handle is pretty tight for an adult male's knuckles to fit through. And probably because of my cabs' age the feet on the bottom of the head don't line up with the cups on top of the cabinet.

As for durability, I'm only 2 gigs into this relationship, but I wanted to let other TRACE fans know, that YES this looks to be a great product. close [-]
