Trace Elliot ELF Bass Amplifier

Trace Elliot ELF Bass Amplifier

Trace Elliot ELF is a compact bass amplifier head.

Connect the head to a passive bass cabinet for 200 W into 4 Ω or 130 W into 8 Ω. The total speaker load must remain at or above 4 Ω.

The Gain control sets the input level and progressively introduces compression. Its signal LED shows the operating state, while maximum Gain engages overdrive. Volume adjusts the output independently.

Three active EQ bands shape the low, mid and high frequencies. The balanced XLR DI sends the post-EQ signal to a mixer or recorder, with a Ground Lift switch for ground-loop hum.

A 6.35 mm headphone output supports practice through headphones; disconnect the speaker for silent use. The 0.73 kg head comes with a carry bag.

Main Features

• Use one 4 Ω cabinet or two parallel 8 Ω cabinets for the 200 W output rating.
• An input impedance above 10 MΩ accommodates passive pickups.
• The Gain indicator helps set the input signal and compression amount.
• Maximum Gain engages overdrive without an additional pedal.
• A separate Volume control sets the final playing level.
• The post-EQ XLR DI feeds the shaped instrument signal directly to a mixer.
• Clip limiting and protection circuits cover amplifier overload and fault conditions.
• The included carry bag holds the head for transport.
