Verified · 90/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

Stage II is the 2006 revision of Mesa/Boogie's British-voiced, EL34-powered Stiletto platform, shared by the Ace (two EL34s, 50 watts), the Deuce (four, 50 or 100 watts) and the Trident (six, 50 or 150 watts). Two independent channels each have three modes, Fat Clean, Tite Clean or Crunch on Channel 1 and Crunch, Tite Gain or Fluid Drive on Channel 2, with their own gain, EQ, presence and master. Diode or 5U4 tube rectification is assignable per channel.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
