How do you pull a decent tone an old Trace Elliot amp?

Sure thing, but first you need to learn how to work with the gear, that's where this comes in handy ;)  

Absolutely. As I said earlier, some modern gear is designed to sound good instantly (i.e. in a shop) when playing solo, but Trace gear is made for gigging. It does indeed take time to learn how to get what you want from it. And Trace amps just don't need to be turned up much, even in big rooms. They will sit very nicely in a mix, and you ARE going to be heard, even if you're 'only' using a 150W RMS amp. But then anything worth doing takes a bit of effort. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't be cool... ;)

I may have misread your first reply, now that i look at it again, sorry :)
