Mr.T Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) The time has come to sell my trusty and much loved Trace rig. I have owned series V and series VI Trace and (IMO) this SMX is the best of the bunch! Amazing sound from smooooth to clanky, and plenty LOUD enough for any gig I have played... (I have never needed to turn up past 2.5). I have owned it since new, it is all in excellent order and I even still have the original handbook. It consists of: [b][/b][u][/u]AH250smx amp[u][/u][b][/b] 12 band EQ. Blendable valve and solid state pre. Built in 2 band compressor. Mute button. etc. etc. [b][/b][u][/u]1 x 15 (1153) cab[b][/b][u][/u] 8 ohms [b][/b][u][/u]2 x 10 cab[u][/u][b][/b] Adjustable 5" horn. 8 ohms. I will split the rig if enough interest. Amp £350 Cabs £175 each or £650 for the lot! I know that I am not exactly giving this away, but you will not find a better example of this classic English rig.

Mr.T Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 .... Forgot to mention that it obviously comes with power lead and speaker cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have been asked a few questions about the cabs... The dimensions are: 19"W x 17"D x 24"H. They can be stacked upright or on their sides. The 2x10 weighs 70lbs approx. The 1x15 weighs 55lbs approx. They are rated at 200W, but as those of you who know Trace will already know, Trace always underate their specs. (Or some other manufacturers over-rate?). I am based in West Cornwall, but am happy to send by a courier of the buyers choice. Come on guys... let's have some offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowbee Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I had the same set of cabs a few years back along with an AH300SMC head and it was really nice setup. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just to clarify.... The year of manufacture is 1998, so it is 'proper' Trace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubrad Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 A great head.. I've had mine since about 1990 (mists of time..) and still haven't bettered it in my budget. Trogged it round UK and mainland Europe with a variety of cabs, mostly 2x10s. Mr T.. keep the head unless you really need to get rid! I can use mine with a 1x10 for small gigs or practices, bump up the cabs for more volume. Versatility on a stick! Even a self-professed Trace-hater likes the sound of mine! If it must move on, SOMEBODY GRAB THIS HEAD! HUGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I used to use this set up and really loved it. Eventually traded for an SWR set up purely for something different. I know someone in the States who was looking for a Trace head but not sure if these have switchable voltage to work at 110v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you look at the back panel, it's a little (about 1/2 x 1/4") slider with a display of the selected voltage, Just in to the right from the mains socket.

Mr.T Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 No switch on mine.... I guess it could still be converted to 120v though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could still be converted to 120v though?[/quote] 'spose.. you'd need a new transformer fitting. One could approach Trace.. when I was having problems getting a good balanced DI signal from mine, they said 'Ah, that's because the XLR on the back isn't actually balanced' but then supplied - at a small but reasonable cost - a suitable signal transformer. They'd be the perfect people to ask re a suitable mains transformer for 110V. They might even do a switchable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've just looked at mine again, switch deffo there. Marked with the red X in pic: [attachment=20037:traceback.jpg] HUGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yours has a slightly different back panel than mine. The fuse holder on mine is built into the mains socket. p.s. Does anyone want to buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
