Today I picked up a Fender 63 RI reverb unit. First thing I did was run it through the effects loop of the Ace. So far so good, it sounds great. This is just the first day so I may have more to say later but since I play more blues type of style with the Ace than metal the reverb was missed. I...

I have a feeling this thread is going to go on for some time! Last night I was doing some low volume picking in the front room of our house. It's pretty big with very high ceilings, I was playing my LP with the ace on ch2 middle setting, man did it sound good. My nine year old son got out the...

A while back when my 67 super got back from being moded I has some NOS Sylvania 6L6GC's but I needed preamp tubes, my tech told me the ones I had were bad. I was too hot to try this thing out to wait for an order that I went to my local shop and bought the Mesa high-end 12AX7's and 12AT7's. I...

Oh yes, you are soooooooooo funny! :P - dstefani

Oh yea, the Mesa price guarantee! ;-) The store is guaranteed not to budge on the marked price! - dstefani

I have not done this yet, but when I looked at the small area to work with as to the preamp tubes I thought I'd just pull the chassis and switch them that way. I've got really big hands! Which tubes have you tried? What were your thoughts on them? - dstefani

Like many 'plexi' type of amps, the Ace combo has a full compliment of HIGH end! We'll call it bright. :wink: I have a set of Weber alnicos that I will swap out of my super reverb from time to time, and they are so nice. I remembered seeing the British series speakers on his website, so I did...

Well, no regrets. I was playing this afternoon with my G&L ASAT classic and the ace. I had to print out one of the 'save your settings' pages from the ace PDF manual. I'm no Robben Ford, but here's the sound that I was getting close to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDdZl3joA34 Ch1 -...

And they are very different. I've played 6L6 amps my whole life and now with the Ace, I'm learning to find the 'color' of the sound in different places. It's taking some time but it's fun! - dstefani

Thanks!!! Now I feel better. Thanks again, - dstefani

I had my Ace posted here for sale. chedgeco jumped on it and we were going to work out shipping, etc. But this morning I woke up and when I saw the amp in my office I couldn't get myself to do it. I had got myself into a corner from a bad multi-year GAS attack and selling the Ace was a way to...

Just the Ace, I've got them both on a carpeted furniture dolly.

I can't get myself to do it. I tried, but it's just too cool to let go. Had I been gigging regularly this would have never been an issue. I apologize for the stupidity on my part. :cry: I've got a "MINT" Stiletto Ace 1x12 combo and a 2x12 Horz Recto Cab that I must sell. $1,600.00 for...

It's Franken-'steen' Sounds cool! - dstefani

I've got a 67 super reverb that has 65 watt old Carvin vintage 10's in it, so it has a good amount of headroom for a super. A fender is a great amp for pedals, it's kind of like a mesa with an outboard preamp channel. With various pedals I can get a ton of different sounds. Yesterday I was at...

The post calling someone weak, makes me want to respond in like kind. But this is a very civil group, so I'll just say this. Music is art, he can put a 50 piece pedal train in front of six 6K 'two rocks' if he wants to, art is SELF expression. No excuses or explanation needed. Please try to...

I'm sure it was a "nice full tone" ;-) - dstefani

You might find that trying to find an original MXR dist+ a bit harder than you might think. At least it was when I was looking for an original micro amp. I did find one at analogman.com, you can write mike the owner and ask him if he's got one for sale or does he make a clone. His clones & mods...

Yea, I'm about 15 minutes from the college. I'm new to the area and it was the first Broncos game I watched. Now I'm so spoiled! Idaho is great, there is a real nice vibe here. There is a friendly community of players in the valley, a few small music stores that are pretty cool, especially...

I'm glad to hear good things about Avatar, I'm in Boise ID USA, Avatar is up north from me a bit, also in Idaho. That's country livin' for ya'! - dstefani
