Trace elliot 1215 300W Combo

[geordie]

Hi all, happy new year!!

I have had my Trace Elliot 1215 300W Combo for about 4 years now, got it 2nd hand in Maldon (near where the old Trace factor used to be). I was just wondering any Trace experts know how to tell if its pre Gibson? And where i can take it for a Trace service?

Thanks

GM Audio is in Maldon and is a Trace Elliot authorised service centre. Gavin did a good job of replacing the power amp on Trace combo.

What's its serial number? That will give you the manufactured date and then we can tell you

Gibson era amps lost the red and green knobs for black ones and went to vinyl covering from carpet but that is not an easy way to tell as there was a big overlap.

they were also vinyl covered pre Gibson.

Yes, but I didn't want to confuse things too much

301 sounds like March 2001 IIRC??? If so, that's a Gibson era build.
