As an ever innovative company, Trace Elliot was never one to stand still and they continued developing their latest range of bass rigs which appeared on the market in around '93. This new range designed by Clive Button was to be known as the 'Sound Management' series with the pre-amp stages now known as the GP7-SM and GP12-SMX respectively. The SM models had an update in '97 (around the time of the Gibson purchase) to become the SMC range now with a simplified dual band compressor whilst SMX models would almost last until the end of the millennium virtually unchanged and to many, represent the very pinnacle of Trace Elliot amplification. Both 7 and 12-band models had additional features (such as EQ balance, compression, and valve stages) and improvements over the previous Trace Elliot Series 6 versions. As a bonus, a UV strip light illuminates the control panel so even on effectively black stages, the status of all controls are easily seen...and it just looks really cool!
