Trace Elliot redefined what bass guitar amplification was about more than a quarter of a century ago and as been at the forefront of new developments ever since. Along the way Trace Elliot has been responsible for introducing and popularising many features that are now industry standard on bass amplification and continues to lead the high end of the market. Although unmistakably Trace in both aesthetics and tone, the current range also offers unprecedented options for sound shaping as well as footswitching options that make them the most versatile on the market. Continuing the evolution of this British designed brand, the company remains committed to its original mission: quality, flexibility and reliability.
7 Band Amplification
These amplifiers offer four footswitchable features; Pre Shape (for that classic Trace Elliot sound), 7 Band classic Trace Elliot Graphic Equalizer, soft-knee Compressor with self-adjusting, program dependant, adaptive attack and release times, and output Mute (mutes all outputs except Tuner Out). Other features included in this box of tricks are a series effects loop, electronically balanced XLR DI output selectable pre/post preamp and a efficient output stage with anti-clip circuitry.
12 Band Amplification
The 12 Band range offers more control, more sound and more power. There are six footswitchable features that include Pre Shape (for that classic Trace sound), Valve (to add valve warmth or overdrive), 12-band classic Trace Elliot Graphic Equalizer, dual-band soft-knee Compressor with separate controls for the High and Low bands, sophisticated effects loop (hi-pass/lo-pass/full-range outputs, left/right/mono returns, series/parallel switch, loop level control), and output Mute (mutes all outputs except Tuner Out). Other features included are electronically balanced XLR DI outputs for pre-EQ and post-preamp left and right, left and right Line Outputs, and two valve/tube driver stages for signal preconditioning before the power stage. All stereo features listed above are summed to mono for the speaker outputs of the 1210 and 1215 combination amplifiers, with full stereo capability provided on the AH1000-12 head.
Speaker Cabinets
Trace Elliot cabinets are fitted with specially designed Celestion® speakers inside and come in various configurations. All the cabinets are tuned with central or bottom unobstructed slots for well-controlled bass response. The tuning of the cabinets is carried out using scientific equipment and computer controlled manufacturing processes are used to ensure consistency.
