Trace Elliot Announces 12 Band Series Bass Amps

March 3, 1999 -- Trace Elliot are pleased to announce the launch of an entirely new range of bass amplifiers, which is set to reestablish us as one of the most innovative, progressive amplification manufacturers in the world.

The new 12 band series is based around the powerful and versatile GP12X preamp. Familiar to those acquainted with the SMX range, the GP12X is nevertheless much more than simply an upgraded existing model. In addition to the 12 band graphic, switchable pre-shape EQ curve and dual band compressor of the SMX range, the new GP12X features MIDI control, Harmonic Emphasis, a switchable, variable valve stage and noise reduction. These new features, coupled with bigger output stages and comprehensive effects loops make the 12 band amplifiers the choice for the creative, professional bass player. It's more versatile, more powerful and more exciting than anything that's gone before.

As a partner to the flagship AH1000-12 head, the BFC is a brand new cabinet containing 1x15", 4x10" and 2x HF horns. The combination of the AH1000-12 and the BFC represents the world's first all-in-one tri-ampable stereo bass rig, allowing bass players unprecedented flexibility and power.
