roddimus Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Hi, I've got an beautiful Trace Elliot V-Type rig I don't use any more so its got to go. The head and cab come as a pair and are in a matching dark green vinyl finish which pre dates the carpet covering Trace used later on. The cab is a 800 Watt (RMS) 4X12" with horn and the head is 200 Watt and all valve. The head pre dates the Trace V4 and is just called a V-Type head, I believe the early models like mine were actually made by Matamp although I've never managed to get confirmation from them. Last year I completely re-valved the head and biased it using Electro Harmonix valves. Since then I've only used the amp for a handful of rehearsals and one gig as its just to loud for me to use for home practice. As you'd imagine the amp sounds very warm and articulate, It's closer to an Orange AD200B than an Ampeg Classic with better build quality than either of those amps and added rarity cool factor. Its in good condition throughout with a couple of scuffs on the back of the cab from transportation. I bought the amp about 2 years ago from the original owner who played in a Brit Pop band. He'd not used it for about 10 years so I think in all its had very little use. I'm guessing the amp dates from about 1994 although I'm not entirely sure. I'm looking for in the region of £900 for the pair and would like to sell them together. I live in Cardiff and viewings are more than welcome. Any questions feel free to ask. Cheers, Steve.
