- Page 2 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a TRACE ELLIOT V-TYPE V8 valve bass amplifier. Please take a few minutes to read this owners manual so you may fully understand the capabilities of this unit. With a little care your new amplifier should provide you with years of satisfactory service.
- Page 3 FULL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FRONT PANEL (from left to right) PREAMP FEATURES AND CONTROLS Inputs - Passive, Active Two jack sockets are provided for inputs to the preamp. These are referred to as PASSIVE and ACTIVE. The PASSIVE is a high impedance input with minimal attenuation, generally suited to lower output, passive basses.
- Page 4 Tone Controls - Deep, Bass, Middle & Treble The TONE CONTROLS are passive and interactive. The BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls adjust the response of their respective frequency band as expected and are tailored to suit the frequencies developed by the bass guitar.
- Page 5 Master & Power Indication Valve The MASTER control sets the overall signal level sent to the power amplifier stage and, depending on the setting of the FULL/HALF POWER switch on the rear panel, the stage volume. This is visually shown by the EM84 Power Indication Valve (valve furthest right). As the MASTER control is increased and/or the instrument is played harder, the top and bottom bands on the indication valve will increase in size, pulsing as each note is played.
- Page 6 REAR PANEL (from right to left) Effects Loop - Send, Return The EFFECTS LOOP is a simple, unity gain, series loop. The SEND socket is for connection to the input of effects units. On the V8 it is a buffered, lower impedance version of the signal that appears at the INPUT. This can also be used on its own to send a signal to a tuner or another amplifier.
- Page 7 Power Amp The V-Type V8 is powered by eight KT88’s. These are configured for GRID BIASED CLASS A/B. This is the traditional arrangement for a high powered amplifier of this type, to efficiently produce at least 400 watts with the valves supplied (at the rated nominal mains input voltage).
- Page 8 For more advice on this please contact the TRACE ELLIOT UK Service Dept. or distributor in your territory. Full Power/Half Power Switch This allows the power stage on the V8 to be set to either FULL or HALF power. With the switch in the FULL power setting all eight power output valves are in operation, this will produce approximately 400 watts RMS.
- Page 9 WARRANTY FORM, valves are not covered by the standard two year warranty except under certain conditions at the discretion of TRACE ELLIOT. If you are in any doubt as to what you are doing, refer the unit to TRACE ELLIOT or other approved electronics service centre.
- Page 10 When this happens it is unlikely that any damage has occurred to the valves, therefore merely replacing the relevant fuses should be OK. Again, with new valves this can occur more than once, if it persists please refer the unit to an approved TRACE ELLIOT service engineer.
- Page 11 From left to right, the first seven are all ECC83/12AX7’s, the Indicator Valve at he far right is an EM84. Do not insert these into incorrect positions, they are NOT interchangeable!
