Members MattACaster Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm working on a couple entries for CoverFest over in guitar jam. This months them is the 90's. Well, one song I choose, the band typically used Marshall-ish voiced amps. I planned on using the DSL for it but realized that I left it at my band's rehearsal space. So after a few seconds of cursing loudly I look in the corner of my basement and what do I see... my Stiletto! So I figured what the hell, why not? I've never recorded with that amp but it came out very well. Ended up doing somehting like 16 tracks of guitars. Half of those tracks being layered rhythm tracks. The thing sounds massive. All the hugeness or a Rectifier but with the midrange of my DSL. I ended up mic-ing both the G12T-75s and V30s in my Marshall cab and mixed them together. Clips to come when I'm done with the song...

Members MattACaster Posted September 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 Tite Gain or Fluid Drive? I still love mine. Fluid drive I was going to use tite but I would need a boost to get it where I want it... and both my OD pedals are at the practice space sitting on top of the DSL.

Members OverDriven Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 I want one of these. I might pick one up after I get a Mesa 4x12 to go with my Mark IV and Recto 2x12. I'd like my collection to go something like this: Mark IV Mark III Stiletto 5150 Mesa 2x12 Mesa 4x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Mesa 4x12 and 2x12 and used to have a 5150 which I traded straight across for the Stiletto. At some point I will get another one. I need to get a Mark IV at some point to go along with the Recto and the Stiletto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Exocaster Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 I need to get a Mark IV at some point to go along with the Recto and the Stiletto. Run all three at once. I've done Mark IV and Recto, and Recto and Stiletto, but never Mark IV and Stiletto. The Mark IV blends well with the Rectifier for a similar reason as the Stiletto does- the mids sit differently in a band mix. If anything, I thought there was more differentiation between the two with the Recto/Mark IV mix when both guitars are playing the same thing.
