History

In 1979, the Trace Elliot brand found its roots at the Soundwave music store in Romford, Essex, UK, which provided a place for professional musicians to gather. "Product line summary".

The brand name itself was conceived by Soundwave owner Fred Friedlein, who selected "trace" to refer to the sine wave found in the Soundwave logo, and the name "Elliot" as suggested by Andy Perry, his technical designer.
