I agree, great story John.Atwood,the new Narragansett beer is just a small company somewhere who bought the label.It's not the same Gusto I remember when brewed in R.I. Alaska,I still have my Ace crossover. It came out before the separate sub amps were just coming out.Most of the amps had a crossover built in so the market for separate cross overs kind of waned.When I had this crossover going was about 1980.I was using a Dyna 300 and Dalquist sub and Dalco's which were a clone of the Dyna A30XL's.There were to versions of the Ace.The Basic and the Zero Distortion.The black Ace's volume controls work flawlessly .I'm going to open it up and find out who makes them.The other Ace's sliders feel cheap,I lubed them both. When I open up the black Ace I'll get a picture here.It's the best wire job I have ever seen and I'll let you guys be the judge.I will have to go to an old High Fidelity review to explain the difference between the Basic and Zero Distortion.The front panels look the same...-.Mark Korda
