Ya' know . . . I'm liking that ACE more and more actually. It can pull out such a good Avenger copy that it's scary!

I know you're a fan of the stage I's Thump but you should try a stage II so you can hear the differences yourself you might like it. I preferred the stage II personally myself.
Of course if you use a boost pedal with a stage I it changes things a little....
I'm not sure I would sell my VHT for one though, they are great amps

I need to try a Duece sometime soon. I really think I'd like it. 
I'm really wanting to either get a Stiletto or a Splawn soon, but I'm thinking the Stiletto might actually suit me better for lower gain stuff.

IMHO Id get the Mesa over the Splawn. Ive played both and owned the Splawn for a bit.

Selling an amp and regreting it later really, REALLY sucks. I've talked to a few people lately about an amp I regret selling. I'd like to get another one like it, but don't want to regret selling one of the amps I have now.

There was a guy on HC selling the Stilletto Trident - I sold my Orange to him - JC Blackwater is the guy's name - not sure if that's his handle.
I have his email address still from when we were working out the deal right when HCAF IP banned me. If you're interested, I'll email him and see if it's still for sale, and shoot him your email address.

Its sure hard to sell amps you like. I notice as time goes on its harder and harder to sell things. In general the gear I have now is just much better than what I had even 4 years ago.
So what exactly is the difference between the Duece, Ace, and Trident?

I played the Ace 1x12 combo again today, great amp. One of the better combos i have played. Sound big and punchy, not mushy or boxy. I think the closed back cab helps it. Funny because i have played Mark series combos and hated them all.
The Ace does have more gain than the Deuce and fluid drive is a HUGE improvment. You can easily get by without a pedal. So i played the Ace at GC, came home and played an UL I'm borrowing, and i like the Ace better.

They do make newer versions of the Deuce and Trident Stage II
I'm digging my ACE combo alot and I've been through a slew of amps in the last year.
