INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Velocette SE.
The Velocette SE is part of the Trace Elliot Velocette range. It is a no nonsense, compact,
purists valve guitar amplifier and has the minimum controls necessary to produce a good
range of sounds, from clean to overdriven, into either its own single Celestion Vintage 10
speaker or separate 16 ohm cabinet.
The circuit topology has been based on traditional guitar amplifier designs, with new
ideas incorporated where beneficial.
The preamp and power stage sections are 100% valve. The valves fitted at the factory are
two ECC83/12AX7's and one EL34 run in Single Ended Class A, hence the suffix 'SE' to
distinguish it from the other Velocettes, however the amplifier will operate with several
other valve types fitted, this will be explained further later.

Inputs - Hi & Lo/Link
Two jack sockets are provided for connection to your instrument.
The HI input is a high impedance, high sensitivity input. This can be used with both
passive and active guitars and, depending on the level of output from the guitar and the
VOLUME setting, allows the amplifier to be driven hard into overdrive, if desired.
The LO/LINK socket can be used in two ways. Firstly as a lower impedance, low
sensitivity input, for use with high output guitars when the user wishes to keep the
overdrive under control. Alternatively this socket can be used as a LINK to chain together
two or more Velocettes, simply plug your guitar into the HI socket, take an output from
the LO/LINK socket and plug this into the HI input of the next amplifier in the chain.
Bright
The BRIGHT switch adds more high frequencies when selected. It works in the traditional
way, therefore it has more effect at lower VOLUME settings.
