Can somebody fill me in on how a Stiletto Trident Stage 1 head sounds? There's a guy selling a used one in my area (assuming he hasn't sold it yet), it has the "fluid drive mod", whatever that is. He's asking $800.00, it's perfect condition, and includes footswitch, hang tags, cover, and all...

I was watching a few YouTube videos where they set up a Mesa Stiletto head and cab next to a Marshall JCM800 half-stack and did a side-by-side comparison and from I could tell, the sounds were very similar, surprisingly so actually. I used to own a 50W JCM800 half-stack five or six years ago...

I was wondering if you can get great sounds out of the Electra Dyne without having to blow the windows out of your living room. I presently have a Fender Twin Reverb and a 50W 1970 Traynor YBA-1 BassMaster head with a 1x12" closed back cab, I use a combination of dirt pedals with these two amps...

J.J. Thanks for your insights on this! My local Mesa dealer has an Electra Dyne head, I'll have to get over there and give it a test run. It might be the best choice for me and if I like what I hear from the head version of the ED, I might order the 1x12" combo instead, at this music store...

I'm glad that you brought up the Electra Dyne. I'm sure that it's a great sounding amp and does both Fender-like clean and Marshall-like crunch but how about the fact that you don't have the ability to tweak the tone for each channel/mode? Was Mesa able to dial in the tone so that each channel...

Hey, that's great guys. Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I realize that it comes down to personal tastes. I guess that it'll end up being a shoot-out between the 5:50 and the LSS. We don't have any regular Lone Star combos at this store, so I can't check that one out. Just by going with my...

I was wondering if the Express 5:25 is in the same ballpark as the Lone Star Special when the 5:25 is in 5 watt mode, which is pure Class A at that point? They're running the same power tubes (EL-84s). And I believe that the clean channel and reverb in the Express are the same ones in the...

Yesterday, I suffered through an hour of music store warfare, you know the scene. Everything is pretty quiet throughout the store, so you take a chance and plug into an amp that looks promising, in this case a Lone Star Special, and start trying out the amp at very reasonable volumes, then right...
