Trace Elliot Trident - Lead preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Trident is the three-channel flagship of Trace Elliot's mid-1990s all-valve guitar range, sharing its platform with the Bonneville and Speed Twin. Three relay-switched channels, each with its own gain stages, EQ and boost, use nine ECC83s plus an EL84 as a preamp stage, with spring reverb, a series/parallel loop and master. An ECC83 long-tail inverter drives four fixed-bias EL34s with a triode/pentode switch and damping control.
