Never seen one of these before - a Trace amp for electronic drums.

Sad git here ..... I can remember when that amp was released!!! :)

It was part of the Mark V range, and that came out around the time I first starting lusting after Trace amps. That era for Trace was amazing, some of the best amps I've ever heard.

Me too! I had a classic rig back in the old days, AH250, 4 x 10, 1 x 15 and a Bright box - loved it!

I had the AH250 and 4 x 10, but the 1 x15 was just too big for me to move around, so I had some EV cabs as well. The AH250 and the quad box was a huge sound by itself, it handled most medium sized rooms with no problems.

It took me ages to get my hands on the gear, as Trace was something of a rarity in Australia. I used to buy International Musician, and scour the pages for the Bass Centre ad just to look at the gear! When I finally got the AH250, it was well worth the wait - it was simply miles ahead of anything I'd ever tried before. It kills me to think of what Trace has become now, as back then it really was the muttz nutz when it came to bass amplifiers.
