RandomBass Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) This is my trusty SM250. A very potent 250watts into 4 Ohms, the Trace GP7 pre-amp and solid build quality. I think this is from the mid-90s, and everything works as it should. A couple of the square plastic push-button caps are missing but the switches work fine. I'm based near Brighton for collection.

FranticAct Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Brighton....dang thats a drive for me. Hmmmmm
timhiggins Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I had this same amp and it was the most reliable i have had ,plus it sounded great g.l.w.t.s
6feet7 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I'm looking for a 500w head. As I don't know my watts from my ohms but read somewhere that doubling the wattage only raises the volume a knatts whisker would this be loud enough for a biggish gig ie. More than the average pub gig but smaller than the Albert Hall?

I'm usually using a single 15 which easily does pubs and clubs. Add a second cab and you will fill much larger places. Probably not the Albert Hall, though lol. A 4x10 or 2x12 would more than likely suffice for all your needs. Edited September 23, 2015 by RandomBass
Bobby K Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I've used Trace stuff for 20 years now, I think you'd be fine with this for medium sized gigs, especially if you add a second cab. With two cabs you're getting the full benefit of the 250 watts (into 4 ohms) and don't forget, these are Trace watts. These older British made models were always underrated watts wise ;-)

RandomBass Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1443030629' post='2871698'] PMd re dimensions. [/quote] And replied. For the benefit of others, the actual amp unit (not including the outer wooden housing) is a standard 2U rack height and width, with a front-to-back dimension of 26cm. It doesn't come with rack ears though.
