Trace Elliot

I designed every product produced by Trace Elliot between 1985 and 1997.

I was their only electronics designer between those years and continued to design for them up to 2001.

I always designed freelance, working from my own premises. 

Ashdown

I designed every product produced by Ashdown between the years 1997 and 2013. I was their only electronics designer between those years , and many of the products that I introduced for them continued to be their best selling products.

Other Products

From the early 80’s I was designing products for the music business. This additional design work continued throughout my 40 year design career.

This was no problem as long as they did not conflict with Trace Elliot or Ashdown products.

Music & Electronics

All of my life I have been a musician. I have toured professionally throughout Europe in the late 60’s, early 70’s prior to settling down and combining my interest in electronics with my music interests and began designing and producing electronic equipment for the music business.

This led to a business designing and producing electronic drums from finger operated drum machine to full size electronic drums for live performance.

I have since designed all manner of electronic equipment for music playing and production.

Basically my hobby turned into my career and I have enjoyed a wonderful life doing the things I love.
