Trace Acoustic TA200 Amp Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Trace Elliot TA 200 impresses with its lightweight design, powerful 200-watt output, and versatile feature set. Its intuitive controls, including a smart stereo input, make it a flexible choice for acoustic performers. The built-in effects and clever compressor add a rich layer to your sound, while feedback control features like the Notch filter and Phase switch prove effective. However, the lack of a dedicated compressor control might irk some users. With a price that includes a cover and footswitch, it stands out in a crowded market. A great pick for those who love effects, but might be overkill for minimalists.

Trace Acoustic TA200 review | MusicRadar

The Trace Elliot TA200 impresses with its room-filling sound and robust feature set, making it a must-consider for serious acoustic musicians. Its intelligent design and portability are standout positives, complemented by high-quality sound. However, the amp's complexity can be daunting, requiring careful manual study. The graphic EQ sliders feel somewhat cheap, and control placement might pose challenges during live performances. Despite these quirks, the TA200's performance shines in various gig settings, offering excellent feedback rejection and a detailed yet warm sound. It's a pricey investment, but one that delivers on quality and versatility.
