My citations aren't pretty. The web sources for information on the history of Trace Elliot are fairly thin. There was a seemingly plausible write-up that someone else had placed in Wiki that has been cached by Google, but since I was unable to cross reference a lot of this information, it can't be used. The information presented is as accurate as I could find, but I would appreciate any other sources that could strengthen these citations.

I have to say the article looks accurate to me. I've been using and following Trace Elloit gear for a while now. Unfortunately the internet is not always a good source for references, so it's a shame that Wikipedia replies on them so heavily. DavidRavenMoon (talk) 02:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a shame, because it enforces that articles are based on reliable sources of information, and not just repetitions of opinion or urban legends. Problem I'm seeing here is not unreferenced information, it's that I'm looking at the Trace catalog, and some parts of this article are copied from it word-for-word. That's an NPOV problem at the least, and at worst is a copyright infringement. Dementia13 (talk) 02:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have been a Trace Elliot user since the late 80's and am now a collector. I have restored several items and owns some rare pieces(GP-11 Mk-1, Mk2, Mk-V, MP-11, Series-6, SMX 1995 & 2000... etc.).

I could contribute greatly because I know them very well technically as I'm an electronician, and have repaired a large number of them. I could develop documented technical sheets on the evolution of the GP11/GP12 range from 1980 to 2000 and more, but I don't really know how to present it, and and above all... what do you consider to be a reliable sources of information?

Time for an update

Given that Peavey has finally shuttered Trace Elliot, this article needs a serious update, however I'm not the person to do it. It's unfortunate that so much of Trace history is blurry because so many people were involved and want to take credit for everything that was ever great about TE. Clive Button seems to be the best resource for accurate TE data these days. Hopefully somebody can do this article justice with a good update/rewrite. Status4 (talk) 19:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
