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.
