Trace Acoustic TA-300 Amplifier Scores Perfect 5-Star Review

Trace Elliot® has scored a perfect five-star ranking for its Trace Acoustic® TA-300™ acoustic guitar amplifier in a new review by Acoustic magazine.

“If you need a good monitor sound, effective P.A., incredible definition in your tone, and live performance wow factor, the TA-300 amp is for you,” writes Russell Welton in the May 2011 issue of Acoustic, a U.K.-based publication. “These are high-quality products designed with integrity and made with performance acumen in mind. You can’t fail to be impressed.”

Designed in the U.K. and made in the U.S.A., the Trace Acoustic TA-300 amplifier rated a perfect five stars in all categories of review, from Build Quality to Sound Quality to Value for Money. Welton lauded the amplifier’s renowned studio-quality sound reproduction, exclusive features, “genius” design considerations, onboard effects, clean power and overall performance.

“The first things that grab you are … its clarity, power, well-rounded-out definition and harmonically rich brightness,” he writes. “It is a studio quality-sound straight off the bat. Overall, this would be a sound engineer’s dream to mix and an artist’s joy to use.”

Trace Elliot revolutionized the world of acoustic instrumentation with its original TA™ Series more than two decades ago. The new TA-300, TA-200 and TA-100 amplifiers bring studio-quality acoustic reproduction to the stage through designs that incorporate very high-impedance (piezo pickup) inputs, notch filters, phantom power and Dynamic Correction™, a unique circuitry that reproduces the sparkling top end of an acoustic instrument without relying on high-frequency horns (which can produce harsh, unwanted overtones). These amplifiers also feature Trace Elliot’s signature Shape circuit and built-in auto-compressor on each channel, as well as customizable DSP effects with parameter and setting adjustment with separate reverbs that can be assigned to each channel.
