It was 1979 when the first Trace Elliot amplifiers became available and these quickly revolutionised the way the industry perceived bass amplification. Coincidentally it is also 20 years since this was repeated for acoustic players with the launch of Trace Acoustic in 1989.
With both ranges again generating much interest, these milestones are being celebrated with the imminent release of an entertaining and insightful video. This refers to the continuity of the origin of the brand's design and also reveals some of the reasons that make these brands different.
The five and a half minute video will be officially released on the first day of the 2009 Frankfurt Musikmesse, 1 Aprilt, and will be freely available in several formats as well as on YouTube.com and mobile phones via Bluetooth.
