The Trace Elliot TE-1200 Compact 1200W Bass Head is made for bassists who need serious power in a portable package. Packing 1200 watts into a rugged and lightweight chassis, it’s designed for gigging musicians and studio players alike. With Trace Elliot’s signature Pre-Shape tone circuit, a versatile four-band EQ, and an onboard compressor and drive, it's easy to dial in everything from classic punch to modern growl. Balanced DI outputs, a mute switch, and extensive connectivity options make it a true workhorse on stage and in the studio, all while maintaining the iconic Trace Elliot clarity and warmth.

The TE-1200 delivers a full 1200 watts of clean, punchy bass tone, all housed in a surprisingly compact chassis. This makes it ideal for musicians who need high-powered performance without lugging around heavy gear. Its efficient Class D design keeps the weight down without sacrificing the force and depth needed for live shows, rehearsals, or recording sessions.
The TE-1200 features the classic Trace Elliot Pre-Shape circuit, instantly giving your sound the brand’s trademark punch and clarity. Alongside this, a four-band EQ provides precise control over your tone, while the onboard drive circuit lets you add everything from a hint of grit to a full overdriven growl. You can fine-tune your sound quickly and easily to match any style or setup.
A studio-quality compressor is built into the TE-1200, allowing you to control peaks and maintain a consistent tone. Whether you play aggressively or favour a more controlled touch, the compressor ensures your sound stays balanced, smooth, and powerful without losing dynamics or character.
The TE-1200 is built for life on the road, with a tough metal chassis that can handle the rigours of regular gigging. It also offers a wide range of connectivity options, including balanced DI outputs for direct connection to a PA or recording system, a mute switch for silent tuning, and a headphone output for silent practice. It’s a full-featured, professional-grade bass head ready for any performance or recording environment.
