Hi Folks,
After a long and finally rewarding search for my sound I'm going down the Trace Elliot route for amplification so as I have an AH350SMX inbound this is now for sale.

It's a 600 watt head from 8 down to 2.8ohms with a selector switch to match the power section to your cabs. The head is in A1 perfect condition with no issues whatsoever and it comes with a good quality passed cover.
It has quite a few useful features on the front panel...I'll quote from the manual which is better at decribing some of the stuff....
Punch which tightens up the tone without adding volume and a Bass shape switch which activates a low cut filter at 80 Hz, Sub-bass signals are filtered out which is great for getting rid of boom on problematic stages. The TUBE GROWL knob allows you to dial in natural compression and tube effects. It puts the ability to control the compressor parameters – threshold, ratio,
make-up gain, attach and release – as well as tube saturation levels at your fingertips

The EQ section is a bit different from the norm,
Quote
[i]Pure Parallel EQ is a technology based on the kind of circuitry generally found in high-end studio gear. The signal is distributed to all EQ bands simultaneously rather than being routed through
the bands consecutively. The original signal is routed through via a passive circuit, practically circling the complete circuit. The filters for the respective bands arrayed in parallel to this circuit only
process the targeted frequencies, which are then added back to
the original signal. The Tchebycheff characteristics of the bass and treble filters make
an extremely effectively processed signal possible: neighbouring frequencies in a selected field are processed in the opposite direction, i.e. neighbouring frequencies are lowered when a frequency is
boosted, and raised when it is cut. This allows for clearly audible processing without excessive variations is level.[/i]

Soundwise, the only thing that I've owned that I can compare it to is the Mark Bass TTE500. The Quantum has more bottom on tap though and a lot more features. My thoughts are that this head was designed with the Rock Player in mind and I'm not really a Rock kinda guy.

I'll add a link to the Website, Manual PDF and a couple or reviews

There's also a fair bit on TB if you have a look.
Overall, a very good quality and great looking head and recently serviced by David Pye in Preston.
I'd like £450 including postage or a bit less for collection or local delivery.
Thanks.
