Stu-khag Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hello, a friend has kindly been letting me use his trace Elliot ah1200 12 to rehearse with. He paid Round 1200 quid new for it. Has anyone seen one come up for sale secondhand? He wants to sell it to me but I can't seem to find any that have sold secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 You could try an Advanced Search on eBay. Tick the boxes as required: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/ebayadvsearch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 As in the new 'Peavey' era ones? I haven't seen many about second hand, though being honest I'm not sure that Trace Elliot sold that many. However that doesn't mean that they aren't good amps! You will easily find an older Trace Elliot 12 band model for not that much money that will offer most of the same features of the newer Trace Elliot amps. The Series 6 and SMX stuff is pretty good. I picked up an 12 band SMX head for under £300 about five years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-khag Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 thanks both - its pretty new so I guess must be one of the peavey ones. I've yet to find one sold to be honest even on ebay. there's one on reverb selling for 800 which is what I'd expect at least if I was selling. Its a nice amp and sounds good but I really woudn't want to pay more than £300 for anything. I find I sound pretty much the same on whatever rig. Its got too many bells and whistles for me (ie - I don't understand compressors or graphic eqs!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defo Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Trace amps are crazy good value second hand, you can pick up a 715X for £300 - over a grand new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 1200 Trace Elliot Watts? The mind boggles. I use a 300W TE head and it hasn't ever wanted for headroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
