Kool Amplification - Ace
Ace
...from sparkling clean to vintage hot,
the ACE aces any vintage style amp on the planet....
Vintage tone chameleon
The ACE full tube amplifier is the perfect blend of the 59' Bassman and the 62' JTM45. Just like its predecessors this amplifier is super dynamic and responds very well to your playing and the volume-knob of your guitar. The ACE was designed to take pedals and loves boosts, Fuzz-pedals, distortions, phasers, flangers, tremolos and wahs.
Single channel 'ease of use'
It's single channel layout makes this amp feel like second nature, very musical and very easy to use. The gain (pre-gain) and master (post-gain) open an entire world of tone varieties from sparkling clean to tasty crunch tones. There is no amp that does so many styles so well, from Jazz to Rock to Blues to pop, your tone is always ace.

JTM style Clean
The gain setting starts at splendidly sparkling and dynamically clean. Beyond one o’clock the clean morphs into a clean sound with sweet organic edge of breakup. Around three o’clock very gradually the sound changes into a sweet and subtle 3d-crunch. The sounds of voicing 1 are best described as dynamic, three-dimensional, open and sparkling. It is warm yet with good definition. Voicing 1 reacts perfectly to fuzz and boost pedals plugged into the front.
