Does it come with ears?
This would fit great in my Wife's rack.

They put the output voltage on the back! 4ohm 28.3V RMS
Good for them
Looks to be an actual "200w" head. I expect it's louder than most people are going to expect.
That's a tiny fan on top but both sides seem to be vented.
It comes with a carrying bag. I'm not sure why they keep showing it in pockets - probably voids the warranty
Hmmm I'd rather there wasn't a beer input port on top...
I hope the DI is pre EQ. A single speaker out (and not a speakon) is a negative. Given the limited EQ I wish there had been an effects loop to add more EQ options.
They make a point of the DI being post and the sound being classic Trace. Not for you then.
so is TE out of the cabinet business?.....I see nothing on the site.....but this talkbass link (post #14 ) shows cabs at Namm Winter NAMM 2017 (ultra Pic-heavy)
Fair enough. I just hate having to deal with adapters, and speakon is such a nice connection to have.
FOH engineers tend to prefer pre EQ, so with a post EQ DI it's going to be a case of using whatever random DI the engineer has to hand, hence preferring to have a pre EQ option. I had good experience with the DIs in the AH range. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought those DIs were post pre amp but pre EQ when set so, but it's been a decade since I stupidly sold my AH300SM so I might be mistaken, so please correct me. I still have a little TE combo. My old Ashdown head is MIA, though...
Now that I'm actually looking at it, a Speakon would not have made it any bigger.

So now I'm back to slightly annoyed.
In my experience, most sound people prefer post but that might have more to do with what kind of music and venues we all play at.
It's easy enough to get a speakon to 1/4 cable. I have one to run my speakon only head with one of my pre speakon cabs
Yeah, is there some way to run two cabs in parallel off of that? At 4 Ohms and a decent power rating, there's no reason you couldn't, except the lack out jack
Not complete yet. You need to replace that 12 with a Barefaced One10 (15 lbs). Why carry some gigantic 12" cabinet?
Makes my Peavey Mark III look gargantuan, and it has the power supply built in as well.
Might have to get it to match my Trace Elliot 1x15 cab.

That is not the Trace Elliot I loved. #smgdh
And the sexist marketing? Gross.
I'll never buy anything that says Trace Elliot on it that wasn't made by the original company. It's just not the same stuff, even if it looks similar. A Trace Elliot Series 6 AH200 head was my first amp, and I once owned two V-Type 220 W tube heads and a V-Type rackmount preamp. Still have the 1248H cabinet, and I might even have a 2102 cab around here someplace, plus I know I still have a 7-band EQ pedal.
The old Trace Elliot gear cannot be beat, and I still mourn the loss of it.

You're joking, right? This has to be a troll. The Trace Elliot name is one of the single most famous ever in the world of bass guitar. They were primarily known for their bass amps.
LOL, OK. This is the back cover of the Trace Elliot 1995 catalogue. It should be large enough to read the names of their endorsees.
Holy Smokes! That is a pretty impressive cast of endorsers...they definitely had some awesome sauce in their stuff back then.
The front cover of the 1995 catalogue. This is how you advertise bass gear with women properly.
For many years, a V-Type half-stack of what is in this picture was my main gigging rig. I still miss it, but at my age, I can no longer lift a 110 lb. 4x12 cabinet and a 60 lb. tube head.
