That 4x10 looking cabinet in a previous video has got me super intrigued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm itching to try these out. If they can get the old SMX tone into a decently powerful class D head then I'm going to be first in line. I wasn't a massive fan of the ELF (maybe a bit gimmicky?), but it did sound like a Trace. That 2x12" in the Wimbish video looks pretty tasty too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I had a dream the other day that I was using my Trace AH400 GP12 SMX (correct order of name? - one of these https://reverb.com/item/28042456-trace-elliot-ah400-gp12-smx ) with my old MIJ Fender 62 Reissue P bass into a Peavey 4x10 I used to have . The sound was exactly what I remember, Tight, punchy and bright. I miss all of those parts of my sound which I eventually sold on. I would definitely be interested in a modern Trace Amp with a good amount of power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 No. It seems Peavey’s idea of “this week” somewhat differs from the Gregorian calendar 😂 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah @eude and I were saying the same thing about the fonts. I really like the idea of the head (it’s the backlit green innit!), and am looking forward to the 2x12 cab as well… they look well thought out.

AndyTravis Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 All they had to do was do it in the same font as the logo…daft. wonder if it would scratch off 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the nasty, basic italic sans serif font completely spoils the look, why on earth they didn't just ape the style of the old Trace stuff I have no idea. Given how long this has taken to appear, you'd think they could have spent another day on the graphics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 1200 Watts out, 200 Watts in. Not a constant RMS rating then. That's a change from TE tradition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) This has pretty much everything I’d be looking for in a new TE higher powered head. Power amp in and pre out, pre-shape and dual band compression, straightforward tone stack, recording interface, mute, accessories included. Lightweight too (I think) - looking forward to more on the amp module and power supply. Logo isn’t too obtrusive for me. Checking bank.

Merton Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Apparently $999 in the US, so expect the same numbers over here with a pound sign instead…. And the logo on the cab is rotatable depending on how you stack it 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
