Hey guys,
Intro (Ignore if you want :lol: ):
Well, I had the Mark IV/Thiele setup and wanted to get something with a little more of a metal tone so I sold that and went with an Engl Powerball. Now my band situation is not really working out (other guys are getting into some "stuff" I would rather avoid) and I am like a man without a country now. I have always been a huge fan of Fusion/Jazz guitar playing and now that I am not really playing with a band I am thinking, why not play the type of music I love the most?
Body (Here is where I need some input):
I like the idea of a 1x12 combo so I am really looking at the Stiletto Ace now, or perhaps a Bogner Shiva. Here are my main questions to owners of the Stiletto:
1. How is the quality of the Stiletto Ace?
2. Does it sound good at "at home" levels? Is it enough for small clubs/venues?
3. How do you like the versatility of it? Is there anything you wish it had/didn't have? Can it do metal (not my main priority, but I do have the metal in my blood )?
4. If you could go back to when you bought it, would you still have bought it, or would you have gone to something else?
5. Does it take effects well through the loop? I use a G-Major and would like to continue using it if I get a Stiletto. How about overdrives infront?
6. Is it easy to mic up? Does it sound good when recorded? Do you possibly have any recordings of it?
I am just in the "considering" phase right now but I definitely like the idea of getting back into the Mesa family and getting an amp that would suit my situation a little more.
Thank for all input in advance
