Trace Elliot Velocette

Post by Peter Bond »

Finally got round to taking some snaps of my lovely little Trace Elliot Velocette. They are only phone photos like and I aint no camera man but still.


15w
10" speaker
2x12AX7s and 2xEL84
A volume and a tone control, a bright switch and not a lot else.

Its got a great, pure clean tone and when you crank it, it breaks up really nicely. I havent been able to turn it up that much like because it gets pretty loud but I did stick a tele in and crank it and was rock and roll as hell. I've never seen another one in person and I cant find a picture of another one in white.

Anyway... Pictures:

Hmm, I dont know what I have done there, or how I can be so incredibly cack-handed as to make that happen. I'm tired of this now and I dont want to play anymore.

Ah thanks Thom.

I paid £150 for it about a two years ago. I'm nut sure if it was a good price but at the time I had cash and just fell in love with it.

That looks lovely—I’m immediately interested in anything with a “Bright� switch.

Recorded anything with it?

To me it sounds great, its a pure sounding amp where you notice the differrence between each guitar plugged into it. It seems to take pedals well aswell (although saying that, ive only been able to put them in one at a time as I dont have enough cables!).

There's an external speaker socket which according the manual (which i downloaded from the peavey site) says "This is provided so that the user can connect the Velocette to an external 4x12 speaker cabinet..." which seems quite interesting.


RE samuelcot: I havent recorded anything significant with it so far but I intend to in the coming weeks. That bright switch makes crazy amount of difference, if you dial in a thin, trebly tone with something like a tele or strat then flick that on it goes all abbrassive garage awful goodness.

I didnt realise how much you could get out of such a basic amp.
