Just curious. I see a lot of people comparing the IIC+ mode to a real IIC+ and the Mark IV mode to a real Mark IV, but has anyone compared the Mark IV mode to a real IIC+? Since the design of the channel is supposed to be based on the IIC+ regardless of mode and the Mark IV mode is using the...

Hi Everyone, As stated in the title, the reverb on my combo is not working. I rarely even use it, so I don't know how long it has been non functional. If I move the amp, I hear the springs pinging, but I don't get any reverb when I turn it on. Here is what I did to troubleshoot: + Checked to...

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I got a used Mark v combo about 6 months ago. I mainly use channel 3 on iic+ mode. It has been fine up until recently. I started getting a hum on when I have it set to triode. It goes away when I switch to pentode. I am planning to change...

So after having a Stiletto Ace since 2007 (and using my 5150III for the past 6 months live) I took the plunge and got a new to me Mark V Combo. I don't know if I am going to have the patience to dick around with this thing to play with my band (I want to but if I don't come close to my core...

Traded my 6505+ 1*12 combo in for a 5150 III 2*12 combo (and cash of course) for no logical or economically smart reason! Initial thoughts: *It's freakin' HUGE, probably 4 or 5 inches taller than my Stiletto 2*12 combo, but it weighs 3 lbs less due to the Greenbacks being lighter than the...

Some vids from this past Friday. Ace is on Tite Gain. Boss DD-20 delay and Boss OD-2 are on in some parts. Boss NS-2 on all the time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-xvaWVcoL8&feature=share&list=UU2wYRZ-movS-rYOzJXbYQzg&index=4...

I put a set of Dougs tubes, that recommended mixed set that they recommend for everything. I wasn't using the amp all that much when I replaced them a few months ago, but now I switched back and I noticed what I suspected whenI first put them in: the sound is now more fuzzy and the bottom end is...

I've been having some weird problems with my Ace, and when I was getting a blown speaker kind of tone, I decided to start with the tubes. I got the Doug's set for the amp this time and followed the recommendations as to what position the preamp tubes go in. It seems to have taken some of the...

I notice a lot of people have had these amps. I see some people complaining about them being buzzy sounding, which I didn't hear even at low volume. When I was looking for my last amp I played one and loved it, but it was too extreme and I ended up with the Stiletto, which I still have after 6...

http://youtu.be/gB-gZsVu750 This is a video of my band from this past Saturday. Start at 30 seconds. I am playing my Ace dry except for the noise gates in this one. The user put up a few more as well if you want to check them out.

I've seen a lot of posts on settings, speakers and tubes, but not a whole lot on how those tweaks match the type of music that people are playing. To my ears, the amps excel at the 70's and 80's rock, metal and punk tones, which is why I bought it and have kept it for over 5 years I also think...

This is one of the posts that got me wanting the Stiletto in the first place back in the day. He gets the Crunch mode kickin' better than I ever could http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3372&p=22600&hilit=+my+turn+#p22600

I never really got the point of having a presence knob when you have a treble control to tweak, and I didn't fully understand why on the Stilettos (and maybe other models as well) that it is separate from the other tone controls. Well I finally smartened up and started using only the presence...

I've been digging using distortion pedals into my Ace's clean lately and was thinking of pulling the trigger on a Wampler Pinnacle after I unload a few pedals on Ebay. I know that it would do what I want it to, my question is has anyone used it with the Stiletto and is it different enough from...

Here is a live recording of my Ace that I've had for about 3.5 years. I can't remember my clean settings, but I used the Flat Out setting (Fluid Drive) from the manual. Stock EL34's, JJ High Gain 12AX7's are in it for this one. Guitar was a Peavey Wolfgang Special, Boss DD-20 delay and EVH...

I am in San Jose for work and had some down time, so I figured I'd take the afternoon take the factory tour. It was cool to see the operation, especially where the amps are being play tested. Today it looked like they had Lonestars in circuit board production, Stilettos were in assembly...

I've heard that the guitarist from Culture Club also have a Mark V proto, and he is most impressed with the extra rectum tube
