Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Stiletto but really just looking for answers to some of my questions.
My main one, is there a difference in tone between the Ace, Deuce, and Trident at all? Mainly is the trident a higher gain than say the ace would be? Or are they all the exact same amp, same tone, just higher powered as you go up. I do see that there are the same amount of preamp tubes in all three, but higher amount of rectifier tubes as you go up in the series. (I understand that there are more el34s to handle the extra amount of power). Right now I'm looking at a Trident primarily, but have so far only been able to play an ace and was surprised at the amount of gain. Also, it seems that as you go up the Recto series that you get a higher gain sound, or a heavier sound maybe, and would be surprised if the stiletto didn't undergo the same transformation as you go up in the series as well. Hope somebody with Stiletto experience can shed some light on the subject. Thanks!
