You Get an Array of British Tones from This Mesa Combo!
The Mesa/Boogie Stiletto Ace 2 x 12" tube combo amplfier brims with a range of British tones that take you from clean chime to sustaining, fluid drive — and everywhere in-between! Plug into the Stiletto Ace and you get access to two feature-packed channels, each of which includes three modes for maximum tonal and dynamic control. The closed-back cabinet puts the beef and response of a big 4 x 12 cab into a very portable package, while a switchable rectifier lets you make the response of the amp tighter or looser. Abuilt-in Bold/Spongy Power setting gives the Stiletto Ace a more vintage vibe whenever you want it.

Mesa/Boogie Stiletto Ace 50-watt, 2 x 12", 2-channel Tube Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Get Great-sounding British Tone — and plenty of it
  • Chime and jangle with dimensional clean tones
  • Go from grainy to crunchy to smoldering
  • Dial in the amp response that suits you

Get Great-sounding British Tone — and plenty of it
Mesa/Boogie put the kind of attention to detail and engineering know-how that made the original Boogie combo such a game-changer into the Stiletto Ace — a British-voiced tone monster that's built to deliver huge tone from a portable combo format. Versatile enough for a range of genres and styles, powerful enough to hold its own on the live stage, and lightweight enough to get there with a minimum of hassle, the Stiletto Ace delivers!

Chime and jangle with dimensional clean tones
Though the venerable EL34 power tube is regarded more for its classic crunch than its clean capabilities, the Stiletto Ace puts it to work making rich, spacious clean tones you'll love. This amp produces a dimensional chime that lets you take advantage of your guitar's natural tonality and pickup selection.

Go from grainy to crunchy to smoldering
Mesa/Boogie knows the importance of those "in-between" tones — the grainy, gritty realm that joins pristine cleans and sustaining lead tones. That's why they gave the Stiletto Ace duplicate Crunch modes in both Channels 1 and 2. If you rarely play completely clean, this mid-gain mode gives your guitar tone a great place to be, allowing it to roam the wooly landscape from nearly clean to a punchy snarling break-up.
Channel 2 ventures into high gain realms no British amp ever dared. Tite Gain blisters with searing heat while maintaining articulate focus. Fluid Drive bumps the gain and liquefies the attack to inspire those single-note solo runs.


Dial in the amp response that suits you
This amp doesn't just stop with a huge array of tweakable tones, however. Mesa applied the same attention to detail to the amp's response and dynamics. A Switchable Rectifier feature allows you to tune the power supply for the feeling that best suits your style — tube for a vintage-inspired sag, or silicon diodes for tight tracking punch and authority.
Bold/Spongy Power located on the main AC power switch provides a reduced line voltage setting for additional power sag and enhanced top end harmonic content.
Its front panel location allows for on-the-fly selection of incoming line voltage with the full 117 volts for headroom and authority, or a reduced voltage setting (like a built-in Variac) for a vintage-inspired "brown" vibe.

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "I was recently able to get my hands on this amp, and I'm completely sold on it. The overdrive is so beefy and wonderfully dirty. The cleans are full and colorful. If you're in search of that huge, larger than life guitar sound, the road ends here. The Stiletto Ace provides just that and more."
Andy Reierson
