News / Tue 20th Jan 2009 16:13 pm

British amplifier designer Trace Elliot® proudly announces three new bass amplifier heads to its renowned line, the AH1200-12, AH600-12 and AH600-7.

The Trace Elliot AH1200-12 and AH600-12 amplifiers provide discerning bassists with amazing power and precise control over their sound. These amplifiers include six footswitchable features: Pre-Shape, the famous Trace Elliot tone-shaping tool; Valve to add tube warmth and overdrive (12AX7/ECC83); a vintage 12-band Trace Elliot graphic equalizer; Trace Elliot’s exclusive dual-band compressor with separate controls for high and low bands; a sophisticated effects loop (high-pass/low-pass/full-range outputs, left/right/mono returns, series/parallel switch, loop level control); and an output mute that silences all outputs except the tuner out.

Other features include electronically balanced XLR DI outputs for pre-EQ and post-preamp left and right outputs, left and right line outputs and two valve/tube driver stages for signal pre-conditioning before the power stage.

The AH600-7 includes four footswitchable features: Pre-Shape, the famous Trace Elliot tone-shaping tool; a seven-band Trace Elliot graphic equalizer; output mute; and a soft-knee, single-band compressor with unique adaptive attack and release times designed specifically to work well with the full bandwidth of bass guitar, regardless of playing style. Additional features include an electronically balanced XLR DI output (switchable between pre-EQ and post-preamp), line out and a series effects loop for easy connection to external effect units that is designed to work with both floor pedals or rack mounted equipment.
