Members fretout Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would go with the Stiletto, hands down over a DSL. If we were talking about a Stiletto VS a 2203, that's a little more difficult. The Stiletto has great cleans, and great Mid/High gain tones. I'm a purist, so if you want the Marshall sound, get a Marshall. IMHO, the Stage II is the way to go. The Stiletto has more depth than the Marshall, and has a lot of features the Marshall should have, but doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretout Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's a decent deal. The Deuce seems to sell for around that fairly consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eudaimonia02912 Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm just gonna throw this out there: ADA MP1 into a good power amp Listen to Nuno's tone on Extreme's Pornograffiti. If you like that tone, then go with an MP1 for $200 and get a good tube power amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MyNameIsMok... Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 I win, hell yeah. I think. THE AMP IS AWESOME. At lower volumes it beats the DSL. You won't need the epic power of the Marshall for this adventure mighty jonah. Perhaps next time there will be dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FastRedPonyCar Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had our singer's EX stiletto trident II for over a week and just could not get a good sound out of it to save my life He ended up dumping it for a bogner alchemist and a port city oversized 2x12 and his tone improved dramatically. I guess I just don't "get" the stiletto... I don't understand what mesa wanted to do with that amp. It doesn't sound british and the recto blows it to pieces for high gain stuff, the lonestar and electradyne are far superior for cleans, lower gain and crunch stuff so I really don't quite understand what they were trying to accomplish with the stiletto.. It doesn't know what it wants to be. A vintage modern or 2 channel JVM does the whole high gain and medium gain british rock thing much better and the recto kills it for heavier stuff.... I mean... there's an amp for everyone and I get that I just don't see what people like in the stiletto. IMO, you should have saved up a little more and gotten a used shiva or splawn quickrod or hell, a JCM800 then had the cameron jose mods done to it. A stock JCM800 will whip the Stiletto but a jose'd 800 will pimp slap it into last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare a Stiletto to a JCM800. They are not aiming for that 80's sound in my estimation, but more of a hot rod 59 plexi. And it is sort of that, but not a clone. It has it's own British thang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hapless Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 I have an Ace. The other guitarist in my band has a JCM800. The Stiletto slaps the {censored} out of the JCM all day long. Couldn't tell you how it stack up against a modded JCM800, but stock...no way.

Members K-Bizzle Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Shouldn't have been so quick to choose.Otherwise you'd know that NOFX's typical sound is Mesa Marks and that a Mark IV is actually what you wanted. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
