Big-rig Tone You Can Carry in One Hand

Pro bassists know that small bass combo amps just don’t move enough air to sound like the big rigs. Enter the Trace Elliot ELF Bass Combo. Weighing in at just 18 lbs., this pint-sized 200-watt 1 x 10" amp delivers big-rig tone in a package you can carry in one hand. Trace ELF Combos use the finest speaker components and are purpose-built to make you sound great. Perfect on its own for small-to-midsize stages, the ELF Bass Combo is equipped with a gig-ready, ultra-quiet DI that sends your optimized tone to the house mix for larger venues. The DI is also ideal for recording. Just booked a really big gig? Take an ELF Combo and an external 1 x 10 or 2 x 8 cab, and you’ll have more than enough power.

Built-in ELF bass amp

The secret sauce in the ELF Combo is its built-in Trace Elliot ELF ultra-compact bass amp. Weighing only 1.6 lbs. and able to fit inside your jeans pocket, the ELF is perhaps the most portable, gig-worthy amp we’ve seen at Sweetwater. The ELF offers plenty of options, including a wide-range input gain control with signal-level indication and 3-band EQ that emulates the response of renowned Trace Elliot multiband graphic EQ filters. Ultra-high preamp input impedance, at more than 10 Mohms, provides maximum sensitivity when using passive pickups, while the post-EQ balanced XLR DI output with ground lift routes classic Trace Elliot tone to a mixing console or recording device. A 1/4" headphone output allows for quiet practice. The ELF amp proved the old adage that “good things come in small packages.” Now that’s truer than ever with Trace ELF combos.

Trace Elliot ELF 1 x 10-inch Bass Combo Amp Features:

  • Delivers big-rig tone in a package you can carry in one hand
  • Ultra-high preamp input impedance provides maximum sensitivity when using passive pickups
  • Post-EQ balanced XLR DI output with ground lift
  • External speaker out
  • 1/4-inch headphone out

Great Amp! Worth every penny!

My verdict is that it's most definitely a keeper. It's very light and LOUD. It's just as loud as my Ampeg RB-112 and Rumble 100c that I owned. The tone is great and it has tons of bottom end. It is pricey, but it is very well made. On the Ampeg, Hartke, Rumbles, Bugera, & Markbass combos that I've owned, I've always had to tighten grill, amp, or chassis screws. With the ELF, all the screws are nice and tight. This is a high quality, well built combo amp. You can hear the fan and it comes on as soon as you turn the amp on, but it doesn't bother me. With 200 watts packed into a tiny amp, I would expect there to be some cooling involved. It's nowhere near as loud as the fan on the Hartke KB15. Overall I am very impressed with the ELF combo. It looks and sounds great! Oh and the cover is a huge plus!

Light & Loud

Full disclosure - I'm not a bass player. But I wanted a small, portable bass amp for two reasons:
1. When my bass player friends come over to jam, they don't have to lug their monster stacks to the house. This amp has plenty of "umph" to stand out over the drums.
2. I wanted to have a DI out to improve the quality of home recordings.
I was surprised at how much headroom this amp provides. No rattles or unwanted noises. As others have posted, you do hear the whir of the fan when the room is quiet, but who cares. The room is never quiet.
Lastly, another shoutout to my rep Paul Eckhart. He is patient, knowledgeable, and super helpful in helping me make an informed decision.

Trace Elliot ELF 1X10 200 watt bass combo

Awesome! Punchy, clear, light and plenty of power for small gigs.
Rated 5/5

Amazing weight and performance

My Hartke kickback 10" died after many years of gigging, couldnt repair the electronics anymore. I'd heard good reviews on this ELF 10" and gave it a shot. Its truly an amazing amp. Performs equally as well as the Hartke, and is perfect for my small acoustic bass gigs. Enough power to work with a well behaved drummer also. I'll be picking up the 10" ELF slave cabinet in a while, It'll be a sweet little stack. VERY lightweight, and the included cover is a nice touch.
