goblin Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Just collected my new acquisition today, a Trace GP7SM 250 head. It sounds and looks great, but it doesn't light up. Did all of the trace panels light up, or just some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front panel is glow in the dark and if you can find a sleeve for it that has a UV tube in it it will glow in the dark. When you take it out, next outside that is and the sun is shining whoa! you will see that UV war paint! but if you are playing a venue that has any kind of UV lighting she will glow .

goblin Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Awesome I tried an SMX in PMT a few weeks ago and that lit up, so I was just curious if anything Thanks the for tip off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colledge Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 get a few mini uv led torch thingies and stick 'em to the amp, job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanditSid Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I would check inside to be sure, I bought a 1215 and the front panel wasn't lit, but I found that the cable to connect the front panel to the EL driver board was missing, I put in a bit of screened cable and hey presto it's all back lit now.

Ghost_Bass Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I had a GP7-SM and the pannel does't light. It only glows if a UV light is on but that model doesn't have the UV light! No need to take it appart in search for one. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want it then buy a UV light with the power extension chord: Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 My now ex GP12400SMX Amp Head was the type that was sleeved in the green carpeted wooden frames, with the black panel at the front, and the model name on the panel in clear window. Behind that there was a huge UV bulb, which NEVER blew or failed once and I owned the amp for around 10 years. There was a switch to turn it off which I started using as I wanted to retain the life of the bulb...but anyway, even when I sold it, the bulb was still going. Awesome amps...despite the HUGE weight. Not sure about graphic eqs though, I dont miss that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
