Trace Elliot AH600-12 Bass Head Review & 1015h Cabinet

guitarinteractivemagazine.com

The Trace Elliot AH600-12 Bass Head packs a punch with its 600W power and extensive tonal options. Its familiar sound is a nod to its heritage, pleasing fans of classic Trace Elliot tones. However, if you’re seeking innovation beyond the tried-and-tested, this might not hit the mark. Some minor issues, like rattling at high volumes and a noisy fan, could be deal-breakers for picky users. While the 1015H cabinet complements the head with robust build and sound, its hefty weight might not be for everyone. Ideal for those who love the brand's legacy without wanting to reinvent the wheel.
