geoff90guitar Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) The original 11 band eq preamp 250 watts (under-rated) 500watts peak, the sound is simply legendary, something you can only ever achieve with an original much desired AH250 model. It’s big, it’s meaty and will handle any venue. You can power two 4x10 cabs or a 4x10 plus one 1x15 cab real easy. FRONT • GP-11 preamp section, featuring: • Line In/ Preamp link • Signal out Low Level • Line out High Level • Effects( Send/Return) • Transformer Balanced D.I. (Pre/Post EQ) • Noise Reduction • Input1, Input 2 • Input gain control with signal peak LED ( to set gain just right) • Pre-Shape - Classic TRACE SOUND in a button • 11-band graphic EQ 40 Hz to 15KHz OUTPUT SECTION (BACK) • Speaker Out Jack • Speaker Out D.I. • 2 speed cooling fan HI/LOW • UV On/Off The amp is in nice overall condition with the exception of two tiny PB caps missing from the eq section (as picture shows, now white) but everything fully functional as it should be. These amps were built so you can get spare parts from almost anywhere in the world. This amp is NOT one of the later push button fizzy series 6. The UV light when it is dark on stage enables you to see all the controls, even in total darkness. From all the possible settings the 11 Band EQ offers you to tailor the tone exactly the way you like it. The pre-shape gives you another option. In my experience of over 40years, as amps continue to develop, the extra circuitry just reverses what the makers originally set out to do (if you can understand that). Look at an old AC30 – 3 knobs! These early Trace models were and are the true Trace bass sound. – It’s what they hear out there – not what you hear down by your legs and these amps just have that middle warmth to throw the bass sound. This is the best bit. This is the last of my heads – it is the best. I have just bought a Mark Bass combo for £895 and I have to stick with it. I’m 62 next year and I need something lighter. The Mark Bass is very good – but….I do grit my teeth as to where THAT lovely rich bass sound has gone. Price only £250 for quick sale. Cheers.

Louder than loud, with full room filling authority. Humps any Ashdown up to 500 watts. Super reliable, yet cheap to fix if out goes wrong. My fav. But I already have two of 'em. Geoff is a star - if a wee biit nuts to be selling this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a complete amp (thanks Chris). You can buy your EBS etc anything fancyfull but you wouldnt be 100% happy. This is the ultimate you would never want to look for anything else unless you could afford the top of the range Ampeg with x no. of valves plus the matching 8 x10. Dont read too many mag adverts, you''ll waste your money on new temptations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
