Trace Elliot

Formed in Essex in 1979, Trace Elliot holds a legendary place in music gear history as the world’s first dedicated bass amplification specialist. Ttrace Elliot was created to solve a problem bassists had faced for decades: underpowered rigs that were little more than electric guitar amps with tweaked tone controls. By introducing high-powered MOSFET power sections, multi-band graphic EQs, and the original 4x10" bass cabinet design that became an industry standard, Trace Elliot redefined how bass players approached tone and power on stage.

Expanding on their success in low-end amplification, Trace Elliot went on to pioneer acoustic guitar amplification with the launch of the Trace Acoustic series, bringing studio-quality fidelity, notch filtering, and ultra-high impedance piezo inputs to live acoustic performers. Recognized worldwide by their iconic UV-green branding, Trace Elliot rigs quickly became the go-to choice for touring professionals across rock, funk, and pop.

Today, Trace Elliot continues to lead through modern engineering. From ultra-compact, lightweight solutions like the ELF series to tour-ready high-power heads, cabinets, and preamp pedals, the brand remains committed to giving bassists and acoustic players uncompromised tone, massive headroom, and road-worthy reliability.
