NCD - TE Elf

[stewblack]

I have been focused on scaling down my cab size lately. So.. I've got one of these little beauties coming from BC marketplace next week, and picked one up via FB market today.

It's a fantastic combination. I love the way the current owners of this historic brand have maintained both quality and the original aesthetic - and put it in a package I can carry.

Of course it's a wrench not to stand in front of a big stack of trouser flapping speakers but needs must. 

Beautifully made and finished, can't wait to get the second one and gig them.

I am well excited! One is a beefy little box, two will be amazing.

I can confirm, two 1x10 cabs combined is indeed amazingly beefy! 😃

Stupid question. How will you use 2 cabs? Doesn't the Elf only have one speaker output? If so, will you go amp to speaker 1, and then speaker 1 to speaker 2?

 

Thanks

No such thing as a stupid question. Each cab has two sockets so they're easy to link together.

Also they are combination sockets which accept either 1/4" jack plugs or speakon connectors. The kind of detail I like.

The TE-110 is silly light, silly loud, and (as you'd expect) pairs seriously well with the Elf. Everything I need at most gigs.

 

For louder gigs I also have the Trace 88.

 

For trouser-flapping, I pair the TE-110 with the 88.

I test the fundamental 'bassitude' of any set up with the scientific rigour for which I am rightly famous.

1. Bring gear into my room.

2. Turn up volume.

3. Plug in and play bass.

4. See if the door and windows rattle in their frames.

 

The 2 Trace Elliot 1x10" cabs passed the test.

Now that's what I call research!

Thanks. Does daisy chaining effect the Ohms like running in parraell??

9999/10000 daisy chaining IS running in parallel.

Yes. The two 8ohm cabs become one 4ohm .
