Re: Major Amp Score!
Yep....a few years ago Gibson bought Trace and just re-branded the amps with the Gibson logo.
I played one of the Trace amps a few years back and really liked it. A little over a year ago I found one of the 10" speaker models for cheap and snapped it up, it can actually be seen on the rack in back. As much as I dug the amp I hated the fact that I had to use a reverb pedal with it.
Then I saw this on eBay, noticed it was local and contacted the seller and managed to work a deal out for it. I've only seen a few of them on eBay.
It's SUCH a great sounding amp. It's very full and very vintage to my ears. Friggin' louder than a bomb when cranked but its got that VERY vintage tone to it. I love them for rhythm work and with a good pedal in front of it can really scream.
The 15W/6W awitch is also a big seller for me. 6W is loud, but it's actually managable in the house...well...kinda. It's a whole lot more managable than 15W which was just insanely loud; I couldn't even really play clubs with my old one because it was too loud. They really NEED to be cranked to sound good!
But this one looks like it has barely been played. Tubes look VERY new and stock. Very little markings anywhere else on it.
