Mesa DC-5 and Stiletto

[powerball13]

My new band just finished recording and we rocked the Mesa amps.

The DC-5 was used for all the heavy tones through a Genz Benz G-Flex.
A Stiletto Ace Combo was used for all the leads.

Awesome combination

"Stonewall" is the new recording which features the Mesa amps.

Awsome, I dig it! Care to share your set up, guitar and amp settings.

Glad you like it!

The guitar was a Mike Mushok sig model with stock pickups.

All the rhythms were done with the DC-5 on the lead channel with flat EQ, both the knob and the graphic EQ. The setup is shown below. The EQ settings may not be what we used on this song since we tended to change the EQ for songs as need. Our little cheat sheet is on the paper on the head.

I believe we boosted the Fluid Drive gain on the Stiletto for the leads with a tubescreamer and did not use the solo boost from the amp. The Stiletto settings can be seen in the photo below. The lead channel is the bottom row and the knobs are as follows:

Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Presence, Channel Volume with the far right bottom knob as the Master Volume
