Hi,

I have a SS trace elliot supertramp. I like it a lot, but there is one problem. There is only a boostfunction in the drive section. I am also using some drive pedals and I can not get them to work with the drive section of the amp because there is too much gain in the drive section. I am wondering if I can change the gain stages in the drive section. On maximum gain I would just like a light crunch.When I engage my drive pedals the sound doesn't change toomuch and I can use the boostfunction in the drive section together with the drive pedals which is difficult now..Is this possible and do you guys have any ideas what changes I have to make in the drive section?

Cheers,

Dutch

Dear Teemuk,

Thanks a lot for all this information. I thought this mod would be relativley easy...Good thing to check this forum first, because I tend to think I have some knowledge on electronics, but there is really still a lot to learn..Thanks, I will think this over and open the Supertramp up, and check what's inside..

Keep up the good work here..

Cheers,

Dutch

Hi,

I just stumbled over this tread..Maybe you can consider the Trace Elliot Tramp, or Supertramp. All solid state, good quality, good, warm sound and affordable second hand. Both of them have a boost in the drive section, something you don't often see in SS amps..Worth checking out..

Cheers,

Hi there,

I am new to this forum, but I have to say I am glad to find an SS forum, so I don't have to worry about narrowminded people, that keep telling you how stupid you are for playing a SS- Amp..You NEED TUBES!!! Enough wining for now..

I just bought a superb looking and sounding Trace Elliot Supertramp. Built approx. 1995, 80 watts, 2 channels, 2 drive modes, boost, presence, mastervolume, spring reverb, Celestion G12T-60..


My question..would it be possible to make the drive mode footswitchable? Now there is just a tiny switch and I would like to have the option to switch it by foot..Does anyone here tried something similar like this? Something I need to consider?

Cheers,

Dutch
