Stiletto Deuce II vs. JCM800KK

[mightywarlock]

Just wondering, who do you think would win in the battle of Stiletto Deuce II vs. the Marshall JCM800KK, Kerry King head?

I recently played one and to me, it sounded very similar to my Stiletto, but had the built in noise gate to quiet the hiss on the higher gain settings.
After playing a JVM, which left me totally unimpressed, the Kerry King head actually left me with a quite positive impression.

the next step is for me to bring my Stiletto Deuce to the store and go head to head with the marshall head to see/hear the differences.

for some reason, other than the Deuce being slightly more trebly, i don't think "tone-wise" that they will be that different at all.

what do you think?

stiletto is all valve,
the 800KK has like a diode clipper in the circuit which makes the 'beast' switch, or something that isnt pure valve distortion
im not too sure on the stiletto, i havnt heard much of it, but it is alot more versatile then the 800, its only got the one channel
so idn, i would ASSUME the Stiletto is better, im not 100% sure on it, the KK only does metal, and a nice bluesy kinda sound with the gain on the way downnn.

i had a deuce II for a while and various marshalls (2205 may be close to that beast amp). the KK may have KT88's in it, however. so that apples and oranges...
