I won't bother with audio clips because all I have is my MacBook Pro mic. Just imagine a Fender Am Dx Strat into the Ace with a T.C. Nova Sys in the loop.
So, what do you guys recommend as far as cabs and speakers go? I have a 1x12 3/4-back with a C90 which I think I'll like, but I want to know what your favorites are!
I have not done much experimenting so others may be able to help you more.
I own a Stiletto 2x12 w/ v30s, a Recto 2x12 with v30s and a Recto 2x12 with Scumback M75s.
The M75 loaded cabinet is by far my favorite. The V30s seem to accentuate the highs more which is great for cutting through a band mix.
The Scumbacks just give me a more vintage sound. That's kind of where my head is at so I'm very happy with them.
I'm so tempted (gassing) to get a 4x12 cabinet as I've never owned one. It would be overkill for me but what's wrong with a little rock and roll excess?
I run a recto 2x12 under my Ace combo and love it!! :mrgreen: I've been thinkin lately about switching to a 4x12, but that's going to take a little time and $$$.
Enjoy your Ace....they are insanely fun!!...and they sound good too! :lol:
Yeah, I got "that" one. It will be at my house on Friday. I'm kind of expecting tube issues, but I'm really hoping it just works when I plug it in. Agh, I can't wait!
My next Mesa purchase will be a Recto 2x12" Horizontal cab. I see that being a great match.
On a similar note, I have a friend at church who gets a really good tone. He told me he uses Celestion Lead 80's, and since that's pretty much the same thing as a Mesa C90, I'm pretty sure I'll really like the 3/4-back.
8) That was cool. I mean, that brought back some memories for me......I won't go there...yet. The little one was groovin on it and it sounds good, I hope you're happy, beautiful amp.
