Yes 30W. If you look at the power selection switch on the rear it goes from 5watts to 30 watts. Typically an EL84 makes (I know it doesn't MAKE watts but...) around 9 watts. A normal 18w amp uses a pair of EL84s. A 30 (AC30) or 36W (my Ceriatone) runs 4 EL84s to make ~30W I realize that there...

Been playing Marshalls pretty much all my life. Been gigging bars since I was 12 (so like for 38 years now? God) and most of that time it was the tone vs volume war. I finally WON the fight when I discovered EL84 amps. Just recently went back to the 100W Marshalls...was GASsing for a DSL100 for...

Hey all, I was here almost a year ago when I had a Stiletto Ace that I LOVED. Got lots of help here. Added an adjustable bias and then wound-up selling it :-( Oh well. Now three days ago in another trade deal I found myself owning a Mesa Express 5:25. Like the Stiletto, it was trade bait that...

If you have a Stiletto or a DR..well anything really that is sounding a little bright/ice-picky than you'd prefer, a single RFT 12AX7 in V1 can really warm things-up and lend some legitimacy and 3-D-ness to your tone. I'm not a dealer or a store. I have a few tubes including 3 or 4 RFT 12AX7s...

I'm an IDIOT! I was a machinist so I KNOW the difference between right and left hand threads and that when you look at something from the bottom or other end, clockwise becomes counter clockwise... Welllllll...when I built my bias probe I wired the tube base backwards. Cw instead of ccw. I did...

Hey everyone, hopefully someone can help. I've been searching literally all day and have to go to bed now. I have parts ready to install into my Ace to make it adjustable bias but I can't find the bias resistor in the amp to replace. The instructions and schem that came with the Granger kit is...

HAs anyone got photos of the Granger mod installed? Where did you put the trimpot? Meaning where and how did you mount it? And...I assume you bias it at full power in diode mode?

I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this non adjustable fixed bias nonsense. I mean it isn't nonsense, it's an ingenious way to sell tubes and ensure cold bias, powersection cleanliness, and no "strain" on anything causing warranty returns and stuff. Coming from a vintage amp...

I'm running my Ace head into a 1-12 cabinet that's loaded with one of what is probably my favorite speaker. An old Celestion G12-65. They can be had used relatively cheaply. IF you cant find any stand-alones, keep your eyes peeled for early JCM800 cabs (2-12 and 4-12). Some Marshall cabs were...

Of those that are I mean. No need to chime in to say you don't use reverb, reverb is stupid, reverb is unnecessary...save it for EVH lol. Anyway..I have a SPX50D that I just tried in the loop. Hated it. Not a fan of it in the first place but in the Stiletto Ace's loop...yuck. What's a good cheap...

Well you just never know where life is gonna take you do you. Never thought I'd be here as an owner talking Mesa stuff. Never had anything against Mesa...I'm an old guy (almost FIFTY!!) and am and have always been a Marshall guy. Or at least Marshall-ish guy. Being Canadian I'vee had my share of...
