i was thinking of getting the g-flex 2x12 which is kind of the same idea as a thiele 2x12, but opted out because I didn't want the genz benz speakers, and didn't want to buy a used unloaded cab. Instead it's going to be a handmade very high quality 2x12, with the most ideal speakers (Scumback...

Hi guys, haven't been on this forum in a long while, but thought I'd get some advice from you. I'm currently getting a 2x12 built for me, and am torn between two configurations. Both configs will sometimes use my 4x12, but getting a 2x12 right now is more about portability. #1 a larger cab to...

Fanshawe is prestigious, however I only know a couple of people who actually got in without going there for General Arts and Sciences for a year. I've heard a little bit about OIART but not much. If you don't get into MIA, don't feel bad, about 95% of people don't get in, they'll give you...

hey guys, I found a set of 6 mullard el34s at my parents' house, my dad was into hifi in the 70s. Just wondering what the value on used sets of these are right now. Thanks!

So I have lead on a like new used trident, and he's retubed it with the following tubes: Preamp 1 Tung-Sol 12AX7 1 GT 12AX7 2 JJ ECC83S 1 JJ ECC83 Poweramp 6 JJ KT77 Just looking for a little enlightenment as to sound characteristics/quality of the tubes. (I've never owned a tube amp before so...

Yeah, it seemed as soon as I turned on the ace I could flip everything around and get a nice tone (minus the clean on channel 1, I had to make sure to turn down the presence and treble). But it didn't matter if i was in fluid drive or in tight, or crunch or whatever, I could flip stuff around...

haha, you were right about l&m in the pm. I was looking there first and the guy almost talked me out of a stiletto. The problem with L&M is that they're all very opinionated, the same guy even tried to talk my buddy out of buying an american strat because he didn't like them. Literally we...

I'm actually glad you mentioned the clean sound. The music we write is very versatile, has a lot of ability to go all over. Some songs will be very bluesy and need a slight crunch, then others will be straight-up rock and need that nice gainy sound, but then we'll go right into a nice clean...

haha, yeah i know what you mean, you gotta love the leather, but I've always loved the look of the tan grilles. Ex- I love the look of bogners, but can never get a good tone out of them. I would literally have to sit and tweak and tweak and tweak knobs and still i wouldn't like what's coming...

yeah, it really honestly depends on the amp. I've heard some Marshalls sound mediocre with the g12t75s, amazing with greenbacks, and terrible with v30s, but then other ones really are the complete opposite. I think v30s are suited for boutique amps, and modern mesa amps, sometimes clean amps...

I know exactly what you mean by the ease of transport. I found hauling around a head and cab is much better than hauling around a combo though. I found that combos usually just have the one handle on top and it actually makes it harder to haul around, even compared to a heavier 4x12. Right...

Yeah, I agree with you on the cabinet front. I'm honestly torn between V30s and 25 watt greenbacks. I don't know what it is about those greenbacks but they get me every time, especially with high gain amps for some reason. Really weird combo I know but you like what you like i guess. I was...

yeah, i did find that the treble and presence on the ace had to be rolled back a little bit more than i'm used to to try and cut out that harshness. I do need to try out the deuce and see if i like it before I make any decisions, but $150 a year in tubes isn't so bad i guess, it's like paying...

ahhh, alright. so is it the power tubes that give the triple that nice chunky sound that triple rectos have? I just have honestly played dual rectos and then triple rectos and found that there is a huge difference. I really ended up disliking the duals and loved the triples, but again, the...

yeah, i was thinking that maybe the trident would be a little too much but I've personally always liked the Triple Rec and not the Double, only because of the nice punch and the different sound (however Rectos are the wrong sound for me), so I would think that this would also be the same case...

Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Stiletto but really just looking for answers to some of my questions. My main one, is there a difference in tone between the Ace, Deuce, and Trident at all? Mainly is the trident a higher gain than say the ace would be? Or are they all the exact same amp...
