Well, I tried everything I could to get my Mesa Stiletto Ace combo to sound the way I needed it to: endlessly tested and adjusted settings, changed tubes, comined it with a different cab.. it just sounded thin at higher volumes. The Ace sounded great at bedroom levels- not so good at live/rehearsal levels.
So, I went to trade it for an older Dual Rectifier 2 channel head. Plugged in, cranked it and it was not at all my cup o' tea.
But there sat an Orange Rockerverb 50 head, almost glowing in the corner. Feeling kind of disappointed in the Dual, I decided to test out the Orange. From the moment I played it, I knew :mrgreen:. The amp was just so easy to dial in a great sound on both channels. And the REVERB!!! I could go on and on, but suffice to say I am beyond happy with the trade (although I had to throw in some cash since the Orange was new).
But thanks you guys for helping me out with all my questions. I hope the Orange forum is as cool as this one!
