Merton Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 [quote name='ped' post='183137' date='Apr 22 2008, 08:01 PM']Aha thanks Merton. Interesting. I was about to upload the schematics and manuals for my pre-amp too. Does this head have the single gain stage?[/quote] Yep, single gain stage on the V-Type stuff, none of your fancy overdrive channels, we just have to turn up the gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 May be selling the carpeted 4x12. Depends on what a couple of local guys are up to with my V6 and 2x15 cab. The 4x12 is rated at 800w, has a horn and a high frequency dial. There is a metal grill under the front grill cloth. It is superclean and flightcased, so I would expect to get £550 inc delivery. doesn't hurt so much if you factor in the "cheap as free" deal you got on the head.... But if you want a great cab just to get on with, Andy67 is offing his Ashdown 8x10 - and your amp will make that puppy sing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golder7 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 im looking at possibly getting ashdown cabs to go with the trace, in particular the ABM 1x15 compact + 2x10T compact... any opinions on that? pros and cons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I am not a big fan of compact boxes.... ...but Rumour6 has a 2x12 EBS neo thingie that is great!, so waht do I know?!?! The weeAShdown boxes don't have the space fill authority I prefer. The orig Ashdown ABM 500 cab (300w qxq5) was fantastic with the V8 and the V6. Best 1x15 since the big Trace boxes. From my stable, the Trace 1510 (1x15 + 1x10) is no bigger than a 4x10 and might do it for you as a one-box solution. That's only £300.... Or a Trace 4x10 + horn.... £275. Or if you want the end-all, how about a Trace 15+18 full flight box (face off, wheels and handles)? OMIGOD!!! Plenti-full-y ranged and snippish at £250. Lotsa thots.

steve-soar Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Er, £105 ? Why are you selling? Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm not sure how much more information is about really. The manual for the preamp is available [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/trace_operateinstru.shtml"]here.[/url] As for the date it was produced, the serial indicates March '99. The dates on the circuit board appear to be on the power amp section - I can only assume that Trace used the power section of an already existing amp, as the v types weren't announced until Jan '98. Value is probably in the region of £350, give or take a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golder7 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 ok well thank you all for the info!it is much appreciated, and the amp is now for sale over in the for sale section, so if anyone is interested head over Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will sound MONSTER, the 4x12 cab is a heavy bugger but sounds feckin great [/quote] Yeah, I got that one. £450 for the amp & the 4 x 12 cab didn't seem too bad a price + it's local to me. Been after a valve or similar amp with a bit of welly for a while. Band is getting louder & though I love the tone, I don't want to thrash my lovely old 17 watt(!) WEM head - need a bit of headroom. Originally had my sights set on a Bassman, but at the moment they're unfortunately outside my budget, with addition of a decent cab. Never tried a 4 x 12 cab, so not sure what to expect - always used 1x15's before. Picking it up tomorrow, & will give it a road-test prior to next rehearsal. Guess if amp/cab or both are not my cup of tea, I should be able to recoup cost if I sell it on. Hopefully, I will like it.... Can imagine it being a heavy buggar. One thing I may have to consider purchasing next, is a pair of these. Would be nice to find some in dark green to match!

Love the 4x12 - certainly chucks the sound out. More growl than 15's I'm used to, but still solid in the low end. Amp is cracking too.
