Running stiletto in stereo with Dual Recto??

[ToneRanger]

Hey folks im looking at getting the stiletto duece stage 2 i was worried because im so confused with if it does metal ,i sold my roadster because it was waaay to dark and just wasnt a tight amp even with a boost and eq ,What im wondering is if this would be a good choice to team up with my dual recto or would they sound completely off from eachother.Im also wondering about cutting through as the lead guitarist in my band uses a peters hydra and chimera .Thanks for any info :wink:

Seems like a good fit, a bit brighter voice with the scooped REC tone. I have been using a Single Rec S2 along with a MKV. To my ears the two different voicings gives a width and depth to the sound that add effects can't touch.

They work great together. I just picked up a Stiletto Stage I with the Hollywood mod, and it pairs very well with my Dual Rec. They fill each other out.

I don't like it on it's own though. It lacks any real low end...probably due to the mod, but I'm going to try putting it back to stock and see if that helps.

According to Mesa promo literature and their web site the Stiletto was designed to compliment the Recto.

"Tighter, higher Bass. Lower, fatter Mids and a hazy harmonic top where luscious overtones line up in a shimmering crystalline spread. This mid-focused footprint compliments a Recto® perfectly in an aggressive two-guitar band, allowing each player to carve out a distinctive region…and own it."

I've always wanted to hear the two together as described above.

Stage I Trident and Tremoverb here .... I liked the two together myself.

Here's a trick....don't try to EQ them to sound good on their own, then put them together...EQ them to sound good together. The way I have mine EQ'd, when I turn one amp off, the other sounds like complete *****. I'm using my Recto for only lows and low mids, with the treble and presence all the way down, and the Stiletto is picking up the high mids and highs.
