So, I run my stiletto ace with a maxon od808 and boss ns-2 in front. The maxon gives it the perfect amount of boost but the noise suppressor really can't suppress the noise well with the OD808 on. So i'm looking for mods to my stiletto ace so that I don't have to use the OD. OR i'm open to...

What can people tell me about these amps' when they're driven and pushed hard? I have hear so much about clean and crunch, but how do they sound when you push them? Blink 182 singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge is known for using vox ac30 h2's and supposedly dc30's are somewhat like ac30's; they also...

Will classic lead 80's bright enough? Because I hear that they resemble the g12t-75's which have scooped mids. I want something thats bright but v30's combined with the ACE is too bright. TRUTH? Keep in mind, my style ranges around these bands; blink 182/u2/angels and airwaves. Which means, a...

How do they compare to vintage 30's?

Anyone have any experience with these speakers? I'm interested in them because I hear that the ACE does not sound good with v30's because of the harsh mids of the v30's. The ace already has plenty of mids and brightness so it doesnt make sense to get v30's. I currently have greenbacks, I like...

I really wanna hear something about the classic lead 80 because that could be a big possibilty due to the harshness of the mids of the v30's.

I'm afraid about getting the hellatones considering they "age" the speakers which seems that there is more chance for the speaker to have issues. I'm just making an assumption about it though so I could be wrong.

I'm in the process of ordering a new cabinet from avatar. The speaker combos I'm thinking of using are celestion g12h30's/v30's. BUT I have heard v30's in a stiletto ACE is too harsh sounding so my other possibility is the g12h30/classic lead 80 combo, but I hear mixed feelings on the cl80. I...

I have greenbacks in my marshall cabinet right now BUT I in the process of selling it and buying an avatar cabinet with a set of v30's. IMO the greenbacks early cone break up bothers me and they sound too harsh. I want v30's because I hear they are smoother but I hear not very good things about...

So, IMO, my stiletto can get a little too bright to the point where it's harsh. That being said, I have been contemplating a tube swap. I love el34's but are there different brands of el34's that will be warmer? and tame the harsh brightness? What should I do? Input is much appreciated!

How I would go about running the fx loop? On loop in? or hard bypass? I haven't started using the fx loop but I am going to start pretty soon because I just got a flanger and a delay pedal.

I don't want something completely vintage. I wan't something that is a very good balance between modern and vintage.

Yes, it is alnico v but my point is that is sounds too modern. I want something more vintage sounding with a little bit of hotness to it. Which is why i'm debating between mainly between the 57 classic plus, 57 classic, and dirty fingers.

Well, I just talked to a guy from mesa and he said it maybe the fact that on the back I had a button set on loop in instead of hard bypass. I switched it to hard bypass and had no issues. He also brought up the chinese vs russian 12ax7's. Does anyone know where I can get the chinese 12x7's...

Okay, so, I love the way my stiletto sounds BUT for quite sometime the sound keeps cutting in and out. I will be playing at a decently low volume and the amp just cuts out and I can only hear faintly through the cab THEN it cuts back in up to the volume I have it at. I have had the amp looked at...

Thanks for the input! BUT I'm still looking for more advice, with information backing it up.

I have a mesa/boogie stiletto ace 50w head and I love it. I currently have a 498t in my les paul. My problem is that the 498t's seem to hot and really hot pickups sound too muddy through my amp. I want something that thick and warm, yet I want it to be organic and articulate sounding. The...

pics coming tomorrow.

willing to trade 3ch dual rec as well!

Since I am in such a hurry to sell this amp. Price lowered to $1,100. Still willing to trade!
