5esa Stiletto Ace 1x12 combo

I get in all sorts of trouble with Mesa / Boogie when I start to mention hot rodded 80's Marshall amps when comparing this amp. You shouldn't compare it really. You can't compare a modern hand made amp to old second hand amps anyway, it's a different philosophy. At least you kinda know what to expect though..... and it really does sound THAT good. I think this 50 watt combo is a little easier to handle in a pub situation than the 100 watt head, but hey that's just my opinion...
