jimbartlett Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just had this cab delivered, it’s fantastic. I wanted a smaller stage footprint from using my 1x15 Ashdown but this is ridiculous! A great punchy sound, goes really loud and I’m only using it as my monitor because I DI into our PA but i reckon it’s easy enough for a small gig without PA support. Two of these would be awesome. Really impressed with this cab, highly recommend checking one out! Sorry about the amp overhang in the picture..... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 AND you can lift it with your pinky, how many bassists can say that? I have two of the 1 10" cabs with the Elf head, amazing kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hard to come by PA/Hi-fi speakers....they do become available occasionally...when they do I generally jump on them. Currently have two pairs, these and a all black pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just resurrecting this (rather) old thread. I only just became aware of these cabs - they had an Elf 208 in my local PMT in Cardiff. I didn't ask to hear the cab, and I really wish I had. I only found the Elf 1x10 when searching for the specs for the 208, and I was amazed at how lightweight the 1x10 is. Currently, I use a rather nice Epifani UL1x10 and a Greenboy Crazy8 (sometimes use them together) But I wish I knew someone local who had the Trace 1x10, so I could compare it with my Epifani All this is because no matter how lightweight + compact my gear is.... I'm always looking for something ever more compact & lightweight Anyone on here compared the Trace 1x10 with other 1x10 cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I want an Elf as a backup amp, so the temptation is to get a matching cab for practice/small gigs. I love the look of the 208, but it weighs 27lbs! That's pushing twice as much as the 1x10 at 16lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbartlett Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I’ve not compared but just an update, I’m still using the trace elf 1x10 combo and it is fantastic. I play in a 6 piece ska band and it keeps up no problem. At gigs, a DI is taken out into the pa and the elf is my onstage monitor. Simple, light and quick setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for your thoughts @jimbartlett The 1x10 does have some fans who've posted YouTube videos. I'm quite tempted to go for the 1x10 cab - as it's even lighter than my Epifani Perhaps even use it along with my Epifani, for those louder gigs. Must try to get to hear one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Just a quick update, and to say thanks @jimbartlett I went back to my local PMT the other day and had a listen to the Elf 1x10, and I really liked it - So I bought it Took it to a rehearsal that same afternoon, and it sounded great with my EUB and bass guitar. I can't get over how much punch it has, what a great range of sounds it can produce (EUB and BG were set up with very, very different EQ's). Although there's no tweeter, it produced some really sweet higher frequencies when needed. Moreover, although I've got other compact lightweight cabs - the Elf 1x10 is so light & compact, it's lighter than any of my others. The built-in solid handle is great too. I've got a few gigs coming up this month, and the Elf is going to be a real boon - especially at one festival where I know I'm going to be parked some way from the venue. I can do all my acoustic duos (and some of the trios) in one trip from the car now. Thanks all for your thoughts. One very happy Elf owner here 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbartlett Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Excellent! I’m pleased you like it too Marc. Your points above are spot on. Punches above its size and weight and so easy to transport and set up. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
