INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Velocette Twin. The Velocette Twin is part of the Trace Elliot Velocette range. This is basically a range of no nonsense, compact, valve guitar amplifiers with the minimum controls necessary to produce a good range of sounds. However, with the addition of such features as a switchable gain boost, stereo effects loop, pseudo-stereo reverb, and a stereo power stage, the ‘Twin’...

Volume / Pull Gain This is a push/pull potentiometer. Pushed in the control acts like a normal volume control on a typical non-master volume amplifier, therefore it sets the overall volume level of the amplifier and has a huge effect on the tone and the amount of overdrive. From low to about halfway, depending on the output level of the guitar and which input socket is used, the sound should remain reasonably clean.

The loop is then footswitchable if a suitable latching footswich is connected to the appropriate footswitch socket. It is also possible to use the Velocette Twin purely as a stand alone mono/stereo power amp. To do this set the loop to SERIES configuration, this will effectively eliminate the preamp and plug signal source(s) into the RETURN socket(s).

Probably the most popular way to use these outputs is to sit the unit on top of a stereo 4 x 12 cabinet, such as our GSC412, set the switch on the Velocette Twin to 8Ω, the cabinet to 8Ω STEREO and connect the two speaker outputs to the two cabinet inputs for a big stereo sound.
Orientation Of Valves Looking at the VELOCETTE TWIN from the rear with the rear panel removed you will see eight valves, the four on the left (V1, V2, V3 & V4) should be ECC83/12AX7’s while the four on the right (V5, V6, V7 & V8) should be EL84/6BQ5’s.
