Ok, I've been lurking around on this forum looking for some help
with my Stiletto Deuce head, hopefully other owners can help.
I know the manual says that the bass response is voiced an
octave higher, but I really miss that low end. How can I get
the low end back? Do I need to modify the amp or would a
graphic eq in the loop work?
I play original hard rock music down tuned like the nu-metal
crowd.
Since this is my first post here, a little about what I own:
I have a Mesa Duel Recto(my main gigging amp), Marshall 1987 Silver Jubilee,
Marshall 1978 Super Lead, Peavey Classic 30, Line 6 Flextone II,
and some practice combo amps. I have a Marshall 4x12 with vintage
30's, Peavey 5150 4x12, Marshall 2x12 with G12T75s, Marshall
2x12 with Eminence Governor and Red Ryder, 2 Carvin Legacy 2x12s
with Vintage 30s, and 2 1x12s loaded with a Celestion G12T75 and one with an Eminence Wizard. I own 17 electric guitars (Fender, Gibson, Carvin, Kramer (80's original ones) and Peavey) a couple of acoustics and a couple of basses.
So, from that you can gather I'm not a newby to tone and I've used a Mesa Duel Recto for 3 years gigging a lot, I've owned the Stiletto for
about 6 months and its been a love/hate relationship ever since. Sometimes I love the tones and sometimes I can't stand them but I've
always hated the lack of low end chunk and boom that all of my other
amps provide. I'm not talking about huge earth shaking chunk like my
recto, but seriously even my 1978 Marshall Super Lead has a ton
more bowel loosening low end than the Stiletto. By the way, I bought
the Stiletto brand new, still in the shipping box from Mesa and sealed.
I'm the only one that has ever played this amp since it shipped from
Mesa, so I don't think there's something wrong with it.
This is my single biggest complaint about this amp (yes,
there are some others) and it will be the deciding point on if I keep it or
take a huge loss and sell it.
So, please any comments, suggestions or HELP?
Thanks and sorry for the huge first post. :wink:
