I forgot to mention that i currently use the xotic BB Preamp with my Ace, i absolutely love this thing in the clean channel, definitely a heavily tweaked TS-9 sound but less artificial sounding. It booted the TS-9/808 clones right off of my board. Still looking for what works best in the gain...

I have to say i'm not real crazy about TS808 pedals in this amp, but everyone's different. If you like it but want more gain a couple suggestions would be: Aramat Green Machine - a fantastic 808 clone, rather obscure and unfortunately the builder passed away recently so they will be pretty...

Thanks for the tip. I acutually tried this once at a local shop who is both a Boogie and Fulltone dealer so i got to demo it right into the Ace. I found the Full-Drive to be a little too much in the gain dept and a little off color with the tone. I also tried the Fat-Boost (red version) and that...

It's easy to unscrew the cable plugs and check the connections. Mine failed at a gig while in progress, couldn't do anything but use distortion pedal to limp through. Sure enough wire was yanked loose, frustrating as hell. This may sound petty but is this a warranty issue?

Hello, I am curious if any Stiletto Ace owners out there are using overdrive pedals in the gain channel with any success. What i am trying to achieve is having my gain channel set for a good rockin' classic overdrive tone (mode in "tite" position, solid state recto, preamp volume at about high...

yessir, that was me, i will contact you this evening. Thanks

Thanks for asking. I'm sure i'm not the only Stiletto Ace owner who would like to re-voice the gain channel for less brittle fizz, more chunk.

If you ever want to try something a little different you can safely use JJ KT-77's from Bob at www.eurotubes.com He will send you a set of power tubes with a mild enough rating as not to hurt your amp. I put a set in my ACE and it was a definite improvement over the stock china tubes (warmer...

Well, all true accept the stock v-30's in the Ace are supposed to be actual Ipswich speakers and the Avatars are chinese units. An update on my amp- for grins i threw a set of Eminence Swamp Thangs i had sitting around inside the amp. I was expecting a huge low end thump that these speakers are...

I am a current Ace owner and love the amp but i also feel the compaints on this thread are valid. I'm on board with your theory of cross-over distortion and the cold tubes. The bias probe/multimeter suggestion is an excellent idea. I know there are a lot of guys who make tube changes and swear...
