The tones that really struck me the most were: Sad but True - Metallica Drag the Waters - Pantera We Die Young - AIC Faget - Korn Bury Me in Smoke (outro riff) - Down Don’t Damn Me - Guns n Roses Thru The Eyes of Ruby - Smashing Pumpkins Probably because some of these were also some of my...

I wonder if the delay is so that they can pull the stream / edit it if something goes sideways with Ozzy or if someone badmouths Sharon….

You’ve gone and done what I would do if I could and get all three amps. Delighted for you - congrats and enjoy! They sound awesome.

Both sound great and pretty close. I lean towards A for the added upper mid clank, but would be delighted with either and can see how others would lean towards B.

I use Billy Bookshelves from Ikea, but if stacking I think leather coasters are a good bet.

Yeah, I like the vintage flavour of the Stage I too. I’m running a Buxom Boost (bypassing EQ) into the front end to tighten things up (I use Fluid Drive) and an old Boss 10 band EQ in the loop to bring back some low end. It definitely needs a little help but a great sounding / feeling amp once...

Nice - Stage I owner here too 👍 I’m curious to try the Stage II, but it would hard for me to justify having two Stilettos and I wouldn’t want to part with my Stage I

Fully paid up member of the stiletto fan club here. Massively underrated amps and a bit of a steal given what they can sell for. Is your Deuce a Stage I or II?

Man, your ability to track these things down is unreal - you really need to start an amp sourcing business (only semi-joking!) Happy new amp day - yet another amazing score!

I’ve found my Stiletto S1 to be good at home volumes - I live in surburbia (semi-detached house) and usually play around 85 decibels max to avoid upsetting the neighbours. My controls are as below - using the Output as a master volume. Running the channel volumes high was the key for me...

I’ve a Stiletto Mk 1 and it’s not bright, depending how you set it up. It’s fattens up a lot if you run the channel Masters high and use either the FX Master as a Master Volume or use an attenuator. Sure the presence can be a bit much, but I run my presence just below noon with trebles at just...

No way - that’s a shame. But good for my wallet I guess. But then I also like the sound of the Sniper and MOAB (sigh).

I really need to get myself a rectifier…. But then I’d want to get a Ground Zero modded one as well. The list goes on.

I have the MC2-style build I mentioned when I bought your 101b - it’s a Headfirst from back in the pre-Alta days. So this isn’t apples to apples by any means. That said, I like Marshall tones and the best tones (to my ears) I’ve had from mine so far are pictured below. I’m running the KTR into...

I have a VH4 that’s a couple of years old, so one of the new ones. Much brighter than I’d expected - you can get channel 2 into more Marshally territory than I’d have thought possible. Great clean channel and Channel 3 is ‘that’ sound. Still has that zero bounce / flat response feel, but it does...
