Trace Elliot Amp Bass AH350x Bi Amp

AH350X Head

Now £280 Shipped Mainland UK

Recently serviced by the wonderful Gee Electronics so functionally fine.

Twin channel fan cooled unit:


Channel A delivers 150watts into 8 ohms and is high pass, above 250HZ only
Channel B delivers 250 watts into 4 ohms full range.

Works as it should, a battleship rather than a flagship.
Cool UV Light.
Great sounding amp.
 
Some more words around the 250HZ High Pass Filter; via a nice summary here that I found online.
I have used the high pass filter with great results in a live setting:

The Eight Key Ranges of Bass EQ

There is a lot you can sculpt with bass EQ – well, there is a lot more frequency range than you might think.  In simple terms we can think of it like this -  here are eight ranges and the type of work you can perform in each area.

  1. Boomy (40 Hz – 90 Hz)
  2. Fat (75 Hz – 150 Hz)
  3. Thin (40 Hz – 180 Hz)
  4. Power (40 Hz – 150 Hz)
  5. Impact (40 Hz – 150 Hz)
  6. Clarity (190 Hz – 800 Hz)
  7. Presence (800 Hz – 6.5 kHz)
  8. Attack (120 Hz – 4.1 kHz)

Those first five are all sub-250 Hz.  However, look at what you can do above that.  Presence and attack can reach as far as 6.5 kHz.  Then we have what might be the most important of all; Clarity.

Hi pass filters confuse me does that mean nothing above 250Hz gets through or nothing below it, either way why would a bass player want a channel with a 250Hz hi pass? especially with an 11 band eq section, just curious

Hi pass filters allow frequencies above the selected frequency through and attenuate those below it.

[/quote]obvious really :blink: which still begs the question why would a bass player want nothing below 250Hz?

I've used it in these following ways:

Full Range Only - as a regular single feed from an amp.

For Bi amping - Full Range & High Pass:
One feed to one cab and one feed to another, effectively the lows to one cab and the highs to another, sounds surprisingly musical in this set up.
One feed a clean feed, the 2nd feed with effects, works well with a bit of dirt, fuzz through the High Pass feed while still keeping a nice dry bass feed into another cab, no loss of bottom end here when using effects.

High Pass Only:
I've put the keyboard player through this when we were in a pinch once.
It's also useful for home practice, especially at night, so as not to annoy anyone in the vicinity too much.
