As reported on guitargeek.com Ace uses Marshall 1960 Vintage Speaker Cabinets for live work.
From Laney Amplification's Facebook page:
"Ace Frehley was one of our biggest artists in the 1980's. After time with KISS, he set out on his own adventure with the pun-centric and all round amazing name 'Frehley's Comet' which really deserves more credit from a pun/banter point of view but anyway we digress. Here is his video for 'Rock Soldiers'.
Notice the custom amp display with all his white AOR Pro Tube Lead heads and cabs. We need more diamond shaped amp displays!"
Ace is seen during the 2018 Winter Classic with multiple Marshall DSL100H's behind him. Can be confirmed by the small block logo as well as the number of knobs.
As seen on this Marshall ad found on Pinterest.

Combo Guitar AmplifiersA blackface Princeton is visible in this June 1978 photo of Frehley in his home studio (as annotated in the May 1996 issue of Guitar), in addition to this companion photo.
From Laney Amplification's Facebook page:
"Ace Frehley looking BAD ASS in the 80's with his AOR stacks and his Washburn.
Looking back though, the amount of hairspray in this picture combined with tracksuit must have made a fire hazard of epic proportions, especially when melting faces with such hot riffs!"
