Tom Brookes Music Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What will the power output be? I know that the speakers will handle it, will there be enough oomph there for me to hear on stage? My actual sounds goes from as Sansamp DI straight to FOH.

LukeFRC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 well the amp can produce about 130w, but trace elliot (old one) watts are very very loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydye Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Presuming an 8ohm cab you'll get about 2/3 (I think) of the amp's output but that doesn't really give you an idea of the volume... Broadly...you could use a very sensitive cab and it be good n loud or a cab not so sensitive and be much less loud... there's all manner of physics involved with this stuff but the end result will probably be try it and see, if it's not loud enough add more speakers or change the head (or both).

Tom Brookes Music Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I think that the cab is 4 ohms . It's a very old trace with nothing on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I used to use a Trace AH150 through an old Trace 4x10 and never had a problem with volume, and I play very lightly. It was a pretty loud amp. Depends on how loud your band is of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan670844 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If its a 130SM GP7 no worries at 4 ohms you will get full beans they are very loud, they will easy keep up with a modern amp with more than twice the power and through a 4x10 great. They will output actually from 150-260 watts. the 130SM is really the same as a 150SM. I still use mine for rehearsals. It was made in 1987 my first proper bass amp. F@@@ing thing wont die. It lives in the boot of my car, heavily neglected, the tone is nice! not even a stratchy slider......... In fact I am going to treat it to a new amp sleeve. The old one is moldy and looks like its been chewed by a wookie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
