I have posted this once before, but I thought with the new blood (a few thousand since then) maybe someone might be able to assist.

A have a Trace Acoustic amp. It has 2 5" speakers. I can't find as much as a picture let alone a model number of this amp. I will post a picture of it later, but essentially it looks like a TA50. The key points.. It's ONE CHANNEL and DOES NOT have an XLR jack on the face.

The closest it resembles is this TA 50 but again, NO XLR, and only ONE Channel.

The controls are laid out almost the same.. To take up the space where the XLR is.. the EQ is moved to the left a bit, and that little notch switch is a push-button between the program level master. As I stated I'll post a picture... but if anyone can find any info on a Single channel Trace Acoustic, two 5" speakers and no XLR, that's probably it.

No prize for finding the info... just a large helping of appreciation from me. I'd really like to locate the manual. FWIW, I contacted Trace Elliott and they said it was one of theirs... and they'd never seen it before either.

I have one. Control layout goes like this, from left to right

Piezo in lo-level, piezo in hi-level, input gain, lo EQ, hi EQ, 5-band graphic, pre-shape switch, reverb program selector, reverb level, notch on/off, notch level, master level. Line out jack on the back, but no XLR out, and switchable between 115v/240v

Mine is a TA50R from I guess the early to mid-nineties when they were Kaman-owned. Yours is likely a version of the TA50 too. There's also a TA50 which is the same amp without reverb. I have a bunch of old Trace catalogs and the models and spec changed constantly. I don't think there's anyone involved in the current Trace company which is a Peavey brand now I think, that would remember anything about the stuff from the Kaman era, and certainly not before.

yep that's it.. You don't by any chance have a "map" of the reverbs do you?

It's an Alessis 16 program chip. Exactly the same as in the Microverb 2. A Microverb manual should be easy to find.

Funny, Miles identified the amp and the late Master Templeman commented on the Alesis chip here: http://www.ovationfanclub.com/cgi-bin/ubb/non-cgi/ultimatebb.php?ub...

there also was a 35 watt version. Maybe that's it.

I think they (whomever they are) say the memory is the first thing to go... but I don't really remember.
