Hello guys..i found one of this head used...for around 350£ , can you tell me first of all what is the value of this head..so if it's a good price or normal price
then i know it's 115 watt head..don't you think it's not so much watt?
i just ordered a GK1001 so i'm not in an hurry for another head..was just curious about this heads

also interesting should be a quatravalve or a hexavalve...if you know some shops (or some of you) that sell one of the at a reasonable price let me know..thanx for all the infos!

afternoon folks

have to completely disagree with comments made here £350 for a quality valve amp is good value! As an owner and user of a Trace Elliot V4 these amps are phenomenal...monsters...the twin, hexa and quatra are older but really good amps and reliable and as well as sustaining their price tag will actually appreciate in time!

I have used the v4, v6 and v8 of this range and find them all incredible amps surpassed by nothing! the sheer power of my V4 at 220 watt to the 300/400 watt v6 and the mighty and awsome v8 is staggering not even the mighty ampeg cl comes close!

if any of these become available get them quick! you will have seen my up for sale potentially but as of now no chance! I would hate to lose mine!

[quote name='Sugden' post='66913' date='Sep 28 2007, 02:03 PM']Quality valve amp or not these things go for about £250. They are nice and sound damn good but if i paid £350 for one then saw another go for the normal £250 I'd be abit gutted.[/quote]


price is immaterial with valve amps particulalry decent quality ones like the trace twin....I would definitley pay £350 for oe or at least would negotiate with the seller.

Recently bought of these on the forum as a back-up amp (£275 – a bit scruffy exterior but working fine and recently serviced). With these amps becoming vintage and rare, what it’s worth becomes less about “book price” and more about how much you want it – I reckon you’d be lucky to find one at all let alone at £250.
It’s got much more of a modern “hi-fi” tone than say, my old Bassman,, at the time I don’t think TE were out to create any kind of retro product but a really clean top-end amp. I bought it as a back-up, but my passive fretless basses sound so wonderful and buttery through it I use it all the time for fretless, whereas my Music Man for some reason sounds better through my all-digital Yamaha BT-500H amp, maybe because it’s active.
I’d love one of the four or hex valve versions, but to be honest for the gigs I play this has plenty enough grunt. Link for service manual;

[quote name='andy67' post='67426' date='Sep 29 2007, 05:42 PM']different situation withs valves add more cabs bigger sounds! seriously my 220 watt V4 is never cranked above 40% and it cuts through anything![/quote]
Andy is telling you the good stuff here. Our drummer regularly breaks 4 + sticks a gig he's that physical and the Trace twin copes without breaking a sweat - hooked up to 600W RMS worth of cab. I'm seriously thinking about getting another and bi-amping my stereo Ovation Magnum! :)

never seen one rod nor knew trace did a v4 210 combo...only the 115 v4 combo I'm familiar with....anyhooos it is a v4 head and will be fantastic! adding a 115 cab will be killer! the V series are just monsters! take it from an experienced user! I currently have a loan of a V6, it is not so different from my v4, just marginally louder but does the 2ohm thing that I require to drive my 2 x ampeg b410hlf cabs and it is amazing as well...so is the v8....ffs just get it if you can afford it! or tell me where it is so i can get it! :)
