BassmanPaul Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 One thing to bear in mind with Trace stuff is that their amps seem to be rated at peak power. The GP7 300 that I have is in actuality a 150W amplifier. Surprised me all to hell! On top of that the cooling path for this particular amp is very poor. It's a fan blowing on the heat sinks. There is no 'in' or 'out' path for the air. Quote

There is no 'in' or 'out' path for the air. that's the first time I've come across anybody that thinks Trace are over estimating the output of their amps, if that's what you're doing. My Trace amps, a 150 watt and a 200 watt, haven't got a fan at all, just grill type heat sink sticking out of the back Quote
fleabag Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Yup, the shock with TE is that they understate the wattage, then everyone gets a surprise when that lowly 150 watts sounds like 500. ( or whatever ) I love myths 2 Quote
BassmanPaul Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Just to be clear what I posted is the accurate information on my particular amplifier. Quote

An Ashdown head with a trace cab would be best of both worlds I had a AH 500 into my TE cabs and loved the sound. But when my AH became unrepairabe I was unsure aboout buying another so bought an ABM 500 which I'm very pleased with into the Trace cabs. I've still got an old AH 150 if I want the Trace sound.

Quilly Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 My AH-500-7 is an absolute beast. Sadly its sitting a bit unused lately, I use my CTM-100 and Spyder Ashdown Amps all the time now. I just think they have a warmer, more natural sound. Quote
