Accugroove Synergy AMP

NO COMPROMISE
38 years of passionate bass playing have been poured into designing the ultimate no compromise lightweight amp.
Our promise is to not allow cost to dictate the quality of the design or components we use. In addition, like all our gear it is designed and build here in the good old USA. We’ll let the other guys outsource jobs & manufacturing to Asia.

KEEP IT SIMPLE
Total bliss comes from the careful selection of proper EQ and relentless engineering. Following our goal of Studio Quality sound for live applications, our simple 4-band EQ is dead flat when at 12 O’clock. This enables you to hear the true sound of your instrument as if you were still in the studio. There is no coloration like that that associated with other brands.

TONE or WEIGHT
Until now, you had to choose between tone or power. Lightweight usually means no power or tone. Likewise, great tone and power usually means hauling around a heavy lead-sled.
Our hybrid design with our amazing sounding 12AX7 tube in the pre gets rid of the sterility that is associ-ated with lighter amps. Our extremely high quality Class H amp and switching power supply keeps the weight down to what most preamps weigh!

BOTTOM LINE - FEEL THE BASS!
Synergy is the ultimate no compromise lightweight, amazingly simple, extremely powerful amp that has crushing tone. This amp is pure sonic bliss!

Nickelback’s Mike Kroeger Teams Up With The AH1200-12, Trace Elliot’s Road Warrior

 
Canadian four-piece Nickelback were already a household name thanks to 2001’s 'Silver Side Up' and its massive lead single ‘How You Remind Me’.  Though it seemed they would never hit such heights again, just five years later they had a massive hit with ‘Rock Star’.  It became everyone’s favourite anthem.
 
Now touring the USA in support of latest album ‘Dark Horse’, these stadium rockers need resilience and power from their amplification and Trace Elliot are on hand to deliver the goods.  Bassist Mike Kroeger brother of vocalist and guitarist Chad, plays the Trace Elliot AH1200-12 head and 1818/1048H cabs. While on the road, he had this to say about his unbeatable setup: “My Trace rig is road proven to be a warrior.  I get rock solid and crystal clear tone every night and the f*&#ing thing will not blow up or break down.”
 
Presuming he is not trying to wreck it physically, it will certainly take whatever locomotive riffs are being thrown at it.  What with Nickelback’s reputation for embracing the tough conditions of playing to adoring fans, it seems the band have found their perfect match with Trace Elliot.
