Congratulations on your purchase of a Trace Elliot product. Our experience in design and quality of
manufacturing will ensure that you will be able to rely on this product to deliver the solid professional sound
you deserve, whether in the studio or on stage.
This Trace Elliot range is the latest evolution of a line of products that were always known for their sophisticated
features, high quality construction, use of state of the art technology and reliability. Many of the original ideas
have become industry standards and are included within this range, however, around these are even more
features to inspire musicians to create the music that they want to hear.
The range features two types of preamp simply called 12 Band and 7 Band. This refers to the number of
frequency bands of control within the graphic equalizer. There are several differences between the two preamp
sections which are outlined below. In addition to the preamp, different models have different rear panel
features, different power levels and, in the case of the combos, different speaker con gurations.
High quality parts have been used throughout. In keeping with traditional Trace Elliot ampli ers, the INPUT
GAIN and OUTPUT LEVEL controls use parts that have ‘detents’ to give a professional feel.
All the switchable features on these ampli ers are split into two types: pre-set and performance.
➢ Pre-set functions are those which will be set at the start and are unlikely to be changed again during a
performance. These all use latching type switches which means they have an ‘in’ and an ‘out’ setting and will
click when changing settings.
➢ Performance functions are those which it is likely the user will want to switch on or off throughout a
performance. These all use non-latching type switches which ultimately control FETs to switch the particular
function on or off. The switching is extremely quiet and therefore will not be heard during a performance. The
front panel switch does not click when pressed and only needs to be pressed lightly to operate. In all cases the
appropriate LED for that function will be lit/unlit as it is switched. All these functions are also conveniently
footswitchable using the supplied footcontroller.
When a part of the circuitry is switched off then that particular part is completely bypassed, retaining signal
integrity. Also, correct signal phase is maintained from all outputs regardless of which functions are switched
on or off.
Caution: Please look over this guide and read any caution or warning statements found within. Following
these warnings is crucial to your personal safety and the safety of your Trace Elliot product.
