    Nope you’re doing exactly as it says @Clarky. Ultimately if you plug into the “Power amp in” you are simply using the TE1200 as a power amp with the volume open up 100%. I tend to run a preamp In front of the amp, and use the Trace preamp to take out any boom or add a bit of mid as needed for the room, that way I also control the volume from the amp

    They definitely have the same dna in the their tone but of course the TE1200 is just an absolute beast

    Still love mine though don’t have enough big gigs to really let it loose. There is a part of me that thinks either that or my Handbox WB100 should go to a new home because I really don’t need both, and an Elf. Then I slap myself round the face and pull myself together .🤣

    Fantastic! Best of luck with this

    Really good basses - GLWTS

    Think I’ve mentioned Youths briefly before, but the short version: 4 piece pop/punk: singer/guitarist, also the songwriter guitarist bassist (yours truly) drummist All the songs are borne from Max’s life and experiences but you can probably make a lot of them mean whatever you want. No gigs yet planned for 2026 because we have a bit of a drummist conundrum, hopefully we can share some good news soon 🙂

    So my second originals band, Youths, has today released its debut album. Spotify link here, it should be on all the usual streaming platforms 😎

    This was my son’s first kit, it’s spent the last year disassembled at his mum’s house though and it’s time to move it on. Missing a foot but everything else seems to be there. Will supply with a spare drum head but stool not included. First photo is from when it was set up at my house a few years back, others all from today. Collection only due to size etc…

    When they opened up I put them in touch with Ashdown to kit out the rooms with ABM heads and cabs. Mark Gooday did a fantastic upsell and they ended up with this as well 😆 Thesedays they have a mix of old heads people have donated them alongside the Ashdown heads. About a month ago one of the donated Markbass heads was nicked by some bastard. I told them to get rid of the light stuff and stick more ABMs back in…

    My local studio has an original Ashdown King Combo - the ABM900 with an 8x10 cab as an all in one, heavier than the sun, back-breaking monster in a flightcase (ish). Sounds pretty good too.

    I had that model amp 20 years ago, and the Electroluminescent panels were notoriously unreliable. I had mine fixed once, then completely replaced with an NOS panel the repair guy (a former Trace employee) had available. If the panel itself has gone then you may just have to put up with it never working, but it might possibly be the control circuit. Good luck

    That’s lovely! Pretty much my ideal Lionel spec 🙂
  14. Merton
    Perfect for storing a Trace Elliot TE1200 and other similar sized amp heads. GLWTS!

    Lovely! How are you getting on with the early Christmas present from Alan?
  16. Merton
    The Handbox WB100 is superb, I bet the R400 is too!
  17. Merton
    Have a good one y’all - in lieu of me being present I require many photos!
  18. Merton
    Argh. I also have to drop out 😭 Hope everyone has a great day, apologies to those wanting to see the Super Twin 😢

    Depends on your budget but if Serek is on the list then ACG absolutely should be too.
  21. Merton
    I can bring my Super Twin 🙂
  22. Merton
    If you’re bringing a TE1200 I shall not bring mine - gives people more chance to try the one which is actually for sale! I’ll bring an ACG (or 3) and a Conway probably, and maybe my Handbox WB100? Cabs - Barefaced Super Twin or Two10S can be brought if anyone wants to hear cabs they’ve probably heard at all previous bashes 🤓
  23. Merton
    I should update my collection on here. Since getting my dream RetroB 5er, I decided I wanted a 4 string almost-identical sibling. Almost identical in terms of shape and pickups combo, but almost a bit yin to the 5ers yang. My other ACG is my gorgeous TKO Custom - I suspect one of very few white finishes Alan has (and will?) do. Certainly one of one in terms of body binding 🤓
  24. Merton
    Gorgeous!

    Any way you can keep playing in a more low key environment?
