The relationship with my recto for our first year has been VERY love / hate. One day, I find the tones to be perfect, and the next, I can't stand them...my biggest complain as of late has been the undefined and overly deep presence the recto tends to have...not as tight as I would like. Instead of changing speakers, etc., I think it may be time to look into a different amp :?
So, I'm REALLY considering the stiletto series...I remember playing one a few months back and really enjoying....ofcourse, I will be making another trip to my shop soon to give it a fair shot!
My question....what are the differences between the two stages of the amp? Is the newer Stage II significantly better? If so, why do you think so?
As for cab, I assume the traditional cab would be the best match...
Thanks for all the input! Help a struggling man to make his choice (and maybe convert :shock: )
PS: Anyone interested in a trade, do feel free to PM :wink:
I have both Deuce I & II. They are both great amps. The newer stage II is a bit quicker/tighter if you will . I still say Stiletto I is a great amp as well . It has a bit more sag than stage II . The tite gain is really about the same in both amps . That particular mode was not revoiced . So basically Stage II has five of the six modes (apart from tite gain) revoiced and a updated power transformer . The 4X12 traditional cab is the right choice . I also say that mahogany based humbucker guitars fit like a glove with either amp, especially LP's . Im selling my stage I only because i cant really use two Stilettos . If you want to hear my stage I go to www.toyzzband.com and click Feel Like makin Love and Doctor Doctor . All rythym tracks are stage I Deuce . Good luck in your journey on the path of tone .
