Does anyone have a diagram for a trace rah600smx? I just want to check how the outputs are wired, and whether you need to use both the left and right output to get the full power. Ta.

I am selling my trace amp, but think I might be sticking with separates. However, I'm never going to be able to justify spending what I want to get the sound I want. So, thinking of using a behringer v-amp pro as a pre amp and having a separate power amp. Any restrictions on what sort of power amp I should be using, other than the usual power/ impedance questions? I'm trying to keep things as cheap as possible. I don't really need that much power.

I am shortly to be praying with my trace stack, and need to buy something smaller and probably inferior. Say an Ashdown mag combo. I want something to make my amp sound a bit better, perhaps a bit more like my trace. Will the v-amp do this? I will probably be going into a pa system too, so the v-amp pro would give a di too. Ta

One of their ranges killed them. I think it was the gp7sm range, was it? I need to replace my 600smx with something cheaper and quieter, but what can I downgrade to without buying rubbish? Are the smc amps any good? I have the smx compressor pedal so less bothered about it not being smx. Thoughts?

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1334319681' post='1614417'] I'm experimenting with a Behringer parametric equalizer and an Ashdown MiBass. I can plug it into the input, like an effects pedal, and it works fine. I can also put it in the effects loop (which is between the pre and power) and it works there too. [/quote] Cool. I'd sooner keep it away from the effects loop as I would want to have a Behringer VBass in the effects loop possibly, to try and mould the sound a bit more, try and mimic the trace sound I want, perhaps.

I currently have a Trace RAH600SMX amp. I love it, and I love the flexibility of the equaliser. However, realistically I have to sell it (and the cabs) and get something smaller. I would love to get a 1210SMX to replace it, but they seem to be a bit rare. If I could find one, great. If not, I have to look elsewhere. Looking at some Ashdown stuff, and look to do the business. But I like the equaliser on my trace. So... Ahsdown plus external graphic and parametric eq? But how to route it. I was originally thinking that it would go between the amp and the cabs, but then realised that its quite a lot of power I'm putting through it by taking it out after the power stage - the eq usually sits between pre and power. But I can't get it in there if I have integrated pre and power amp. So can I put the eq in before the pre-amp stage? Is the signal strong enough? HELP!!!!! Of course, the proper answer is that if I want the trace flexibility and the trace sound, get a trace combo, but what if I can't get one?

Loosen the strings a bit or not? Hardcase, foam inserts in the hard case. Foam around the hard case in a bike box. Thoughts? Ta

Trace always quote in RMS, not peak. Think you can add an extension. I would go for the Trace 15" cab if I were adding anything to that, but I played quite a lot on just the 4x10 cab. Lots of sound, cleaner than the 15" in my experience, and much better up high. I never quite got on with the single 15" cab.
