Hello, just wondered if anybody has had any input on these amps, as seen one in my local paper and think i might buy it but would like to hear what you guys think off these old trace combos thanks

[quote name='dan670844' post='1045521' date='Dec 2 2010, 07:34 PM']Havent tried one of these but i guess from reading about it its a bit to subtle also note that if you get a stomp box one 18volters are always better, this is illustrated by the difference between the ashdown compressor and the the old trace smx the ashdown is pretty much the same idea duel band etc probably even the same circuit but its pants being 9v it has no headroom the trace is 18volt and it sorts bass out pretty well. The ashdown is great for guitar though! With compressors I only ever compress the lows never the highs, this is especially true for your rock playing as if you compress the highs a lot you will loose the attack and the definition of each note you play. the ebs is also a very good pedal but it takes a good while to get the best out of it. Behringer dare i say make a rack compressor and its acutally very good, suprisingly. Save yourself a few quid and see if you can get an old smx pedal off ebay they turn up quite often, bought three of there from between 20 and 30 quid. If you get one just remember this the led glows red when you AREN'T feeding enough signal into it and NOT TOO MUCH! you wont overload it as i said it can take what you throw at it. I use a passive bass and i have found the best way to use a stomp box one is in the post preamp effects loop as i guess is has more signal to play with.[/quote] hey dan, would you be able to give us some advice on getting the best out of the ebs? thanks dude
