I think the Trace speaker in your combo is 8 ohms (might be worth checking), so the extension speaker should be 8 ohms then you'll have a 4 ohmn load, which will give you full output from the amp

Better stick to the 4 ohm extension cab

yes, that's correct, I did this when I had a Trace Combo

Great, thanks

4 or 8 ohm, does it matter?

Just a quick question to be absolutely certain I don't destroy anything: Can I hook up a second cab to this combo (8 ohm I Guess)?

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.

Have any of you been so lucky to have tried both the old generation of Acoustic amps - and have compared them to the new version of the brand?

I would love to get hold of one of the old ones, but I have a feeling that If I get one of the new products I could get seriously disappionted with the sound.

Any words on this?

Why not take the head off/out and get a lightweight cab (or two)?

I haven’t a clue how to do that

I can no longer handle my old Trace Elliot 4x10” combo.

A guy offered me a Fender Rumble 100 in a trade, but I did not think it would cut it in the rehearsal room with my rock band.

What/How much do I need? Just a guess would be a combo with 250 watt and a 15” speaker.

Info on this great sounding combo?

Experiences?

Yep

Yep, same again like @Stub Mandrel said.

Same thought here, I am just in doubt about the internal speaker - I have no idea if it is 4 og 8 ohm

Here is another Trace Elliot combo I use. Can you tell med if I can add a 15" cab (8ohm) without breaking anything?

It entirely depends on what the internal speaker is. If it's 8 ohm you can though you might need to make a splitter cable if the head only has the one output. However if it's 4 ohm the head is already at it's full capacity so wouldn't be able to take a second cab.

There are an extra output, so I don’t think a splitter will be needed.

I have a 8ohm 15” - but how do I check If the internal speaker is 4 or 8 ohm?

Can anyone help me out? Unfortunately I don’t have pics of the back of this combo.

Can a 15” be added to this combo for extra beef?

thank you

If your combo has a spare speaker output you should be able to plug any 8 ohm cab into that. A lot of TE combos use a short jack out of the cab to go into the head. If the head only has one output you might need to make a splitter cable to hook up another cab as well as the internal speaker.

The important thing is to check the impedance of the internal speaker. If it's 8 ohm you're good to go. If it's 4 ohm then you won't be able to hook up another speaker at the same time. Perhaps someone more familiar with that model will know the impedance of the speaker.

Thank you. I need to check What model it is, or I might upload a picture here, If anyone can help out

Thank you. So the extra speaker has to be a 8 ohm speake?

Can we get a pic of the back?

I was wondering about hooking up a 15” to my TE Combo for more beef 

I was worried If it was loud enough - I know now it is plenty loud.

Kept up with a drummer and two guitars playing hard rock. Sounded good as well.

These old Trace Elliot amps sounds no short of amazing in my opinion, and I kind of ponder on getting one again at some point, or perhaps the new tiny Trace Elliot ELF class D amp instead, which is supposed to actually sound very close to the old classic solid state Trace Elliots. 

Been looking at that Elf, too! I have heard nothing but good things about it, but have doubts it will be loud enough

Would be nice if I could add a 2x10" on top of it, for more power

I cannot find any info on this combo, can you TE experts tell me about it - good or bad etc?

Ive had two. They sound great but are pretty weighty to lug about. You wont get much dirt out of them though. I use a Veyron Tube head now. Cheap and good for rock!

Ah, tell me more about the Veyron - been looking on that.

Good sound etc?

Looking for a new bass head, around 350-500 watt and around £300 (Give or take).

I take care of the bass in a rock band, so the Hartke LH500  could be a contender - some say it sounds fat and oldschool....some say it sounds dull.

Any other suggestions around that price would be very much appreciated - what alternatives should I look at too?

Looks like an AH200.  Great amp, not very heavy, plenty powerful.  Run with any modern light cab...and smile.  Just start without the pre-shape, and a flat eq.  If the graphic eq doesn’t make sense then google the TE manual...

Not really familiar with that graphic EQ - or that level slider. Is there a link to that manual you refer to?

I've got one of these, series 6, but where your's says model number mine got  200 watts written in it, or so it says, it's bloody loud I know that, fine amps as are all the Trace models,  I've also got an SMX and the writing on the back of that is nearly ineligible, depends what pen they used at the time 😊.

The weight might be a clue to wattage, mines a fairly manageable 13Kg  and hasn't got a fan, but the higher wattage ones were a lot heavier  with a fan,

I think this one has got a fan, not sure about the weight

Can anyone spot what model, wattage etc. this is - good or bad?

Thanks

What do you use for the pickups then?

Can I get THIS online in Europe?

Those $12 brass gadgets will cost me around $60 to import to Denmark
