Hello, up for sale is a very hard to find and terrific sounding tube amp stack by Ace Tone..the Mighty - 5 !According to my research and from many other musicians on the internet, it sounds like Ace Tone was the precursor to the companies that we now know as Boss and Roland.
And as we know, as evidenced by the sound quality (and popularity) of the Cube series, the Katana amps, etc. etc., Boss and Roland know what they are doing when it comes to amplifiers.
But tube amps? I'm going to say they're not as well known for them. But this specimen, in my opinion, is a FINE example of tube amplification.....it sounds just like a good valve amplifier should !
With two power tubes and 4 preamp tubes (or maybe 3 preamp and 1 rectifier), this baby is probably closest to a Fender. (I know, it seems like every one compares their amp's clean tone to Fender.) But it doesn't really have the jangle of a Vox. And it doesn't break up like a Marshall Plexi does. You can turn up the volume fairly high, and the amp still remains nice, round and glassy clear like a Fender. It only starts to get to that sought after edge of break up sound when you get the volume knob to about 3/4. Any thing above 3pm, and it seems like the speakers start to "flub out". But it's plenty loud at that level. Quite a bit of headroom, so it makes a perfect platform for your effects pedals!
Grab this rare gem now before someone else does....you're probably not going to see it again (at least in stack format) for a long time!
NOTE: Unfortunately, at this time, the reverb and tremolo on this amp both do not work. We will try to get them back to work before shipping the amp, but cannot guarantee this.
Please read the condition description, these listing details and examine the pictures carefully.
Thanks so much for your interest and I hope you buy it now!!!!!
